John Medeiros came out with his collection entitled "athena" this past summer. The idea is a twist or more literally woven trend related to the chains that are still ever so popular lately.

Here's how he describes his focus for the Athena Collection:

Their master craftsmen show precision driven skills once again with extensively hand polished flowing chains woven through an intricately detailed, hand-carved center station. This styling coordinates with the fashion movement toward layered chains. In addition, the myriad of styles that are available within this collection capture the unique feminine spirit and a woman's inherent desire for self expression. Available with Austrian Crystal embellishments or two-tone Rhodium and 18k Gold plating, these stunning masterpieces will be premiering at specialty stores nationwide beginning August 2006, retailing between $75 and $250. Classically beautiful, John Medeiros Jewelry Collections are sure to be the timeless heirlooms of tomorrow.

The look is definitely one of heft rather than daintiness.
