Lago di Como, Italy - take two!

Posted on July 25, 2013 by Marcia Budet

In the beginning of this 2013 summer, we were lucky enough to attend an international award gala in Lago di Como for the second year in a row. We're on a roll! Last summer was Asymmetrics + Diamonds and this year our pearl earrings and ring set from the Sculptural Luxury Collection won the award!

 

Last year, on our facebook page, we showed you mainly photos of the gala itself (if you missed the fabulousness, check it out here), but this year we wanted to show you around the lake and share our travel experience in northern Italy. Enjoy!

These impressive landscape views of the mountains make you feel like you are in a dream, this is definitely one of my favorite places in the world.

Lago di Como is such a beautiful place and we feel very grateful that our work has taken us there the last two summers to receive awards. As a designer, it has been very encouraging and an incredible inspiration.

I hope that you have enjoyed these photos as much as we've enjoyed sharing them!

Arrivederci e molti baci a tutti!
