Macy's hosts the Le Vian Fine Jewelry Gala at The Jewel Gallery on July 18 and Macy's Ala Moana on July 19.
Hawaii will be the first to host the show, featuring chocolate diamonds, black gold and pieces set with Persian turquoise, in gold with diamonds.
The exhibits will be open during store hours both days, and designer and CEO Eddie Le Vian will be in the stores during cocktail receptions from 6 to 9 p.m. both nights.
Other collections are:
"Couture Le Vian": Platinum and 18-karat white-and-gold settings featuring rubies, emeralds, sapphires and tanzanites in monochromatic designs or diamond pairings.
"Arusha Tanzanite": These dramatic colored stones range from cobalt blue to deep purple to periwinkle, and will be shown in several settings with different styles of cuts. Loose stones will also be shown, ranging from 5 mm to 52 carats.
"Deco": The spirit of the '20s is captured in this collection inspired by the Art Deco era. The style remains popular due to its exacting geometric and curvilinear motifs that display a mixture of strength and fragility.
Pieces range in price from $200 to $50,000, and there will be 4,000 pieces to view or purchase.
The Le Vian family has been in the jewelry business in Persia since the 15th century.
