Academy Award & Golden Globe winner, George
Chakiris, is perhaps best known internationally for his role of Bernardo in West
Side Story. In Nov of 2012, Chakiris received what many refer to as the highest
honor in Hollywood - His Hand & Foot Prints were placed in cement for all
history in connection with the 50th anniversary of classic film West Side Story
which premiered at Grauman's over 50 years ago. FROM THE SILVER SCREEN TO
STERLING SILVER - Academy Award winner George Chakiris, known internationally
for his role as Bernardo in West Side Story, parlays his talent from the Silver
Screen to Sterling Silver Jewelry, featuring necklaces, bracelets, earrings,
dramatic belts and more. Many of his designs have been inspired by colleagues
such as Marilyn Monroe and Rosemarie Clooney, whom he had the privelege of
dancing with, in "Gentlemen Prefer Blonds" and "White Christmas" respectfully.
Living a life with passion for the creative arts drew George quite by chance to
jewelry making as a hobby. What began as a diversion became a full time
appreciation for design and construction and a new creative outlet, which became
The George Chakiris Collections. Chakiris recently unveiled his latest
collection in Japan. The George Chakiris collections are now on display at
Tokyo's prestigious Mitsukoshi Department Store as well as in America online at
his website. Among those artists recently seen on red carpets and national interviews such as
The Today Show and CNN wearing George's accessory creations are Morgan
Fairchild, Rita Moreno, Tippi Hedren, Loni Anderson, Carol Channing, Donna
Mills, Romi Dames, Phyllis Diller, Alison Arngrim, Mary McDonough, Michael
Learned and Judy Norton. Official
