:: AUTORE launches Sydney Flagship store

By: Carmine Pascuzzi

AUTORE, the luxury Australian south sea pearls company, launched its highly anticipated Flagship store in the heart of Sydney recently with a gala VIP event. Designed to present its stunningly original award-winning jewellery in a sumptuous salon setting, the new store at 104 King Street, Sydney will offer a new kind of retail experience for AUTORE pearl devotees, who include some of the world’s most beautiful women – Cate Blanchett, Angelina Jolie, Halle Berry, and Uma Thurman.

On hand to celebrate the new store were some of Sydney’s best known faces including Ian Thorpe, Kerry Stokes, Sophie Faulkner, Annalise Seubert, Alice Hocking, Suzie Stenmark and Eddie Yacoubian.

Guests enjoyed lychee & pomegranate martinis and unique ‘ice shots’ as they admired the magnificent AUTORE jewellery, renowned for its innovative and contemporary designs, fine craftsmanship, and the combination of unique South Sea pearls with precious gems. Magician Ophir kept the crowd intrigued with his amazing slight of hand, with many guests hoping that the magic would continue under their Christmas trees this year with beautiful AUTORE pearls as gifts. For six lucky guests the magic was certainly real, as they discovered pearls that theirs were to keep, hidden in the delicious pearl meat canapés by Buon Ricordo and for the winner of the ‘door prize’, a beautiful pearl pendant valued at $3,000.

AUTORE CEO, Rosario Autore was on hand to great the notables and sees the flagship store as an opportunity for people to really experience the AUTORE brand, “Our new store will allow our customers to see the inspiration behind those pieces, to share in the pearl’s journey from pristine waters to intricately designed jewellery.”

Reflecting both the company’s Italian heritage and its dedication to beauty and handcrafted classicism, the design for the King Street store will offer a unique experiential atmosphere where visitors will be able to learn more about AUTORE’s beautiful South Sea pearls and witness the process of creating one-off pieces from inspiration to final design first hand. The AUTORE brand has come to represent pure luxury and, with the launch of the new flagship store, will take its place amongst Sydney’s most prestigious design houses.
