Meet the Mother-Daughter Duo Behind the Jewelry Line Ariana Grande, Zendaya & More Celebs Love

tatement jewelry is a staple for any fashion lover's wardrobe, from diamond chokers to thick gold hoop earrings. Unsurprisingly, the demand for these glinting pieces is extremely high -- especially if you’re an A-list celeb.

When it comes to stars like Zendaya, Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus and Kylie Jenner, Los Angeles-based mom-and-daughter duo Tania and Ladan Shayan, who founded the luxury line SHAY in 2002, are one of the go-to's for unique pieces. "In high school, I started playing around with making my own bracelets,” Ladan told Billboard. “Our very first pieces were a version of a link bracelet, which is now a staple in the line. Luckily, my mom and I share a similar aesthetic and love for layering. I have a very supportive mother who saw and shared my interest in something and really allowed me to turn it into a career.”

The mother-daughter team pride themselves on designing each collection from a point of view of two different generations and enjoy "working in tandem to ensure that every piece is perfectly wearable for women of all ages. When asked what it was like growing a business together, Ladan said, "It’s second nature for us. We love spending time together and have managed to incorporate business into pleasure with amazing travel. Whether it’s trips to Paris, Asia or something relaxing and tropical, we find inspiration wherever we go. For example, one of our most recent trips was to the Middle East, and after observing all of the amazing talismans there, we wanted to incorporate our own version of an Evil Eye into the collection."

With a high demand for SHAY jewels, the brand expanded overseas and in the United States, selling to luxury boutiques and popular retailers like Browns, Saks Fifth Avenue, London Jewelers and Just One Eye -- but out of all the various pieces offered in the six collections, Tania explains that chokers are the most popular accessory within their celebrity clientele, "While we have more subtle styles with black grosgrain ribbon ($3,780), we also offer full diamond pave chokers ($8,190) that are amazing for red carpet. People may have thought it was a trend, but we think they are here to stay," Tania explained.Each piece takes on a geometric-yet-delicate design that takes a unique perspective on Victorian and Art Deco inspiration, bringing a different element of design to each collection, but as of right now, Tania said their "Essential" collection is receiving the most love. "They're those staples that will always be in the mix," she said. "These are pieces like our diamond-encrusted chain links, signet rings, stacking bangles and chokers that are a trademark for our brand. Right now, we’re having a moment with statement earrings, particularly variations on oversized hoops -- some front-facing, some with baguette dangles. Most of our pieces are available in yellow, white, rose and even blackened gold, which allows for every woman to find something that matches their jewelry wardrobe." (Prices range from $3,780-$33,600.)

A Hollywood Party Planner Who Isn’t Instagram-Obsessed

LOS ANGELES — As the evening sky faded to bluish white, Yifat Oren, 45, surveyed her handiwork. “Don’t light the candles just yet,” the event producer said to one of her assistants. “We need to wait for the wind to die down.” Another assistant was sent to fetch the seating chart for a quick rearrangement.

In only half an hour 50 or so guests, including the Los Angeles restaurateur Jon Shook and his wife, the “UnREAL” actress Shiri Appleby; a founder of Baby2Baby, Norah Weinstein; the celebrity interior designer Molly Isaksen; and the actress Natasha Gregson Wagner, would arrive for a backyard soiree held in the Hancock Park neighborhood. The party was being given by Ms. Oren in conjunction with two close friends, the jewelry designer Lena Wald and an owner of Andy Lecompte salon, Leanne Citrone, who offered up her TudFor Ms. Oren, a party is never fully planned; she makes tweaks and changes until the lights go up and the band stops playing. “She sweats the details like there’s no tomorrow,” said Jeffrey Katzenberg, the former longtime chief executive of DreamWorks Animation who started WndrCo, a new Hollywood venture. Mr. Katzenberg hired Ms. Oren to plan both of his children’s weddings. “I love how unflappable she was,” he said in an email, adding, “Given the circumstances and the customers, that’s pretty herculean.” At the wedding last summer in Florence, Italy, of David and Stellina Katzenberg, guests like Nicole Richie sat at banquette tablesadorned with pink and purple flowers, beneath a canopy of lights.
Ms. Oren is one in an elite class of event planners based in Los Angeles whose services are commissioned by the rich and famous. Unlike some of her contemporaries, though, she hasn’t courted much press attention and doesn’t often promote her work on social media. In an era in which the number of double-taps a business garners on Instagram is a measure of its success, she is somewhat blasé about it all. Her business, Oren Co., has just over 4,000 Instagram followers — significantly fewer than other event planners like Sharon Sacks (more than 27,000 followers) or Mindy Weiss (over 179,000), who were behind the nuptials of Kim Kardashian to Kanye West and Ellen DeGeneres to Portia de Rossi, respectively. Ms. Oren’s inconspicuousness has positioned her as an ally for clients who don’t want coverage of their parties, such as Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Aniston.or-style abode for the occasion.

He said, “It just makes you feel good when people are taking your music, applying it to their life, and it’s helping them through the struggles and the ups and downs. At the end of the day I’m just a regular guy that’s been blessed to do music and sometimes you do forget that your music is out there really, really affecting
