They are not opera divas. They are not motion pictures superstars. But, believe me, they glitter and shine one million times more and brighter than any movie star on the face of the earth. They are in the business of "making things glitter". They are the two queens of glitters of New York City! They are The jewelry designers and proprietors of the legendary Seasonal Whispers, where diamonds, gold, copper and jewelry whisper, hide and tell stories. Two outstanding New York artists Esther Lixenberg and Yafit Goldfarb (mother and daughter) are our personalities of the month. Esther and Yafit are the creative design  force behind  the flashy New York's Seasonal Whispers in Tribeca, downtown Manhattan. Fashion leaders in exotic handmade jewelry,and classically trained musicians and painters, they fashioned their collections with music and art. A most innovative esthetics design which makes you alter your jewelry choice "without changing your jewelry style" explained Esther Lixenberg. Their secret is "reversible motifs". Meaning, on one side, the pendant designed by Seasonal Whispers appears in simple elegance.  On the other side, just if you flip it over,  or turn it around, the pendant acquires a  totally new  glitzy look. Sometimes, the dramatically exotic design of Lixenberg and Goldfarb is retransformed into a vintage aura and or into  a funky avant garde concept.   And it works like a charm!

Looks, concept and interchangeable design of the same product become a pure esthetical mirage in the hands of those two geniuses. Esther defined her design. " Our creation is  individually conceived and our products are crafted  solely to reflect the New York fashion trends where both 50’s Retro and Military looks set the tone today. Browns and beiges are the base colors in combinations with pink, blue and green." Their jewelry is exquisitely  hand set with Swarovski crystals or Czechoslovakian pearls, giving the feeling and appearances of a precious gift without the high price tag. And this was one of the reasons and secrets of their great success. Unusual design imbibed with individual creativity, "unexpected exotic beauty" for a very affordable price. They did it, and they took New York City by storm. They are the world jewelry celebrities, alright. Screen siren Hall Berry appeared on the cover of Essence Magazine (September 1999) wearing a cashmere hooded vest by Celine and rings, bracelets and beads by Seasonal Whispers. This, says it all!
