Basile & Pape - Fine Jewelry for Cool People.

designers robin basile and john pape have worked in fashion since 1998 as fashion editors and photographers. in 2009 robin was hired by c.a. inc. to create a new division for the company to attract more of a fashion savvy clientele. robin - along with her husband john, conceived, designed and promoted the entire division. after 9 months of phenomenal success, robin & john decided to branch out on their own to continue their designs under their own name - basile & pape. the inspiration for basile and pape’s designs stems from their many years as stylists on photoshoots and never being completely satisfied with the predominantly small and tame jewelry collections that were on the market. “we design with editors, stylists, and fashion-forward consumers in mind. we design big, substantial pieces that can be seen from afar and worshiped up close." in addition to designing the jewelry, basile and pape conceived and photographed the entire contents of the website and lookbook.
