'America's Next Top Model'vie For Peace-is of Bianca

Today, during the 19th cycle 'College Edition' of America's Next Top Model (ANTM) to be broadcast on the CW network later on tonight, the beautiful modelesque ladies competed in Jamaica for beautiful jewellery by local designer Bianca Bartley of Peace-is of Bianca.

Tyra Banks, executive producer of America's Next Top Model known for whisking her top model contestants away to exotic locales across the world as part of the rigorous X-WEEK competition, took the ladies to Jamaica. The idea was to photograph them against a picturesque backdrop for some of their episodes.

On day one in Jamaica, the contestants were put to the test as they vied for over US$3,000 in handcrafted jewellery from the young designer.

Bianca's pieces were chosen by ANISA's team because of "the lines bold and unique designs, utilising exotic semi-precious stones and metals, the impeccable overall appeal of the brand and its presentation promises to translate beautifully on-screen," according to a news release.

The winner receives 'Peace-is' from the 2011 and Resort 2012 collections. Choices range from gorgeous Brazilian Galaxy Druzy from the brands 'Summer Knights' collection and delicate lines of the sterling silver series 'Whispers on The Wind' to the striking statement earrings.'

According to Bartley, "I'm eager to see how it all came together on-screen and how the winner reacted when she actually saw the set-up we did for her - this was an amazing opportunity that I was happy to be a part of."
