Mario’s Fall 15 Style Guide highlights our new RAIN collection, designed in partnership with Rio Tinto and their Diamonds with a Story initiative. The fundamental inspiration behind the RAIN collection began with Sandy’s fascination with the natural movement and shape of raindrops. The collection developed into an experience of layered chandelier earrings, bib necklaces, and bezel stack rings.

Sandy Leong was chosen as one of four Rio Tinto fine jewelry partners, to develop a capsule collection for their Diamonds with a Story initiative. Each collection utilizes stunning brown diamonds from their Argyle mine in Western Australia, and was presented at the Couture and JCK shows in Las Vegas last month.
Sandy's collection, RAIN, was inspired by a Shaped by Origin theme, and was in great company sitting next to talented fine jewelers, Suzanne Kalan, Jennifer Dawes and Matthew Campbell Laurenza. RAIN will be available for purchase this Fall 2015 in select Neiman Marcus stores, specialty boutiques around the country, and on sandyleongjewelry.com.
