Model. Top Chef hostess. Cookbook author. Now Indian beauty and culinary world darling, Padma Lakshmi can add jewelry designer to her résumé. Her high-end (prices range from $300-6,000) namesake collection of gold jewels debuts tomorrow at Bergdorf Goodman in New York City and I've got a sneak preview! The line combines Padma's love for food and fashion.
She was inspired by cardamom, lentils, and cloves: "In hunting for the most precious spices, I found the shapes of seeds and pods exquisite, a purity of proportion and form that had an inherent sensuality to them." Entitled "Padma" the collection consists of 40 pieces including rings, bracelets, necklaces, and earrings. I'm a fan of bohemian gold jewelry and if I could afford it, I might purchase of one Padma's pieces. What do you think of her designs?

Quite pretty actually . . .
1Yeah, this makes as much sense as Tommy Hilfiger or Vera Wang having mattresses and rug lines. I can find the same sort of stuff at Pier 1 or World Market, and more authentic without the big price tag. Also, her Burger King (or whatever) ad is stupid as sh*t. Another sellout, whoo!
2They are lovely, just waaay out of my price range.
3I love her on Top Chef, but her description sounds fey. The jewelry is pretty, buy it looks a lot like the tear drop and bean shapes from Elsa Peretti for Tiffany.

5its pretty but wayyy too expensive.
6I don't know...they're kind of pretty, but I probably wouldn't buy them. It seems like she's just putting her name on something to make a brand for herself. Maybe she should just stick to the food world?
7A little expensive, no?
8her line is pretty but WAY too expensive. in these times shouldn't you be more mindful of things and not price things to start at $300? she's best known to most people for being on Bravo and most Bravo viewers prob don't have that kind of discretionary income to spend (unless they are the real housewives)
9I like!
10Nothing new, that is shown here---plus too expensive
11don’t know this blog writer but dude, Jake, you are right on target. Couldn’t agree with you more about the choice of Kelly choi. I went to Columbia with her. Choi PINED after JOSH KELLY now at espn. He dumped her for a gorgeous blonde, and Choi screamed at Elliott in the Columbia hallways. choi was a laughing stock at school and she then got hired for ONE month at NEWS 12 BRONX by Camilo Pombo. I saw Choi’s air checks then ( about 6 years ago) Man she Sucked! Choi is NO sincere soul. She is not 32 as wikipedia states and she slummed around NYC writing freelance after news 12 trying to make it some how before she begged Arick Wierson at NYC TV for a shot. PEOPLE at NYC TV (not management) do not think highly of CHOI. CHOI goes to these RED CARPET EVENTS in evening gowns TRYING BEGGING CRYING, “LOOK AT ME PLEASE I AM KELLY CHOI.” She has no purpose at these events and paparazzi friends of mine remark they take her pix because she just bares leg at the male photogs. How many wanna bet CHOI will crash and burn or just end up marrying a rich old geezer like JULIE CHEN OR WENDI DENG. Pathetic.
