In a coming together of two power houses, Zac Posen, luxury apparel and accessories brand, and Fabrikant-Tara International, luxury diamond and gemstone wholesale company, today announced their partnership to create a new collection of handcrafted fine Jewellery, scheduled to launch in Fall 2014.

The creations, the company promises, will be infused with “the signature Zac Posen modern American glamour and detailed craftsmanship that the brand embodies”. The collection will focus on fashion, bridal and bespoke luxury pieces.

Zac Posen is a globally recognized, leading designer of women's fashion. His company House of Z, established in 2001, currently produces a range of products through his Zac Posen, ZAC Zac Posen, Z Spoke, and Truly Zac Posen labels including women's ready-to-wear, bridal, social occasion, furs, handbags, accessories, eyewear and now jewellery.

Says Zac Posen, “As we continue to expand the Zac Posen offerings, it felt like the right time to step into the fine jewellery market. Establishing ourselves with an expert such as Fabrikant-Tara International for our debut into the category gives us truly the best partner to explore how we can together create beautifully crafted jewellery for the Zac Posen woman.”

“It gives us great pleasure to partner with Zac Posen, one of America's most distinguished designers,” commented Tara Jewels Chairman & Managing Director, Rajeev Sheth.  “This licensing partnership will help Fabrikant-Tara International create further value for our customers through product that captures Zac Posen’s sophisticated sense of style and beauty. Through this strategic partnership we reinforce our focus on branded and co-branded jewellery.”
