Passman Debuts Signature Coins in Arethusa Collection

USA and Caribbean

PASSMAN, an island-based design house, has launched the Arethusa collection, a line of signature coins that pay homage to the magical sea nymph, as its namesake. The collection features Arethusa’s image carved in sterling silver, set with 18K gold, diamonds, yellow sapphires and black coral accents on the front and PASSMAN’S signature anchor on the back. The Arethusa collection is for sale exclusively at PASSMAN’S boutiques in the United States and the Caribbean.

A Caribbean-based brand, the sea has been a driving source of inspiration for the PASSMAN brand since its inception more than 35 years ago. Creator, Bernard Passman, is known his work that contrasted precious materials traditionally used in fine jewellery with materials of a more “raw” nature. Although Black Coral was the first of these “raw” discoveries, the company has since gone on to include a variety of precious gems, metals and woods in PASSMAN compositions. Today, PASSMAN’s Creative Director, Omar Torres, channels those harmonies in both the Arethusa and Luna collections. He has created a new generation of classic yet modern fine jewellery in 18K gold, Palo Santo (a hardwood) and a dash of moonlight, which is the luminescent Tagua.

PASSMAN has stores in Grand Cayman, St. Thomas, Maui, Ketchikan, Alaska and Las Vegas.
