"  Photo: Darren McDonald  ManiaMania strikes again with a statement-making artistic video debuting its latest jewelry collection, Babylon, for fall 2013. This Velinda Wardell-directed film is inspired by Theda Bara, a sex symbol of the silent film era noted for her serpentine allure. Her presence is pervasive in the eerie short: live snakes decorate model Ruby Jean Wilson while the slow-motion cinematography evokes subtle sensuality. The ornate range calls to mind Ancient Egypt with brass cocktail rings, delicate headpieces, piled chain bracelets, and clear quartz amulets that look both edgy and regal. Tamila Purvis, ManiaMania co-founder, told ELLE.com, &amp;quot;Our &amp;#039;Babylon&amp;#039; film is driven by the idea of transformation, inspired by images that we loved of Theda in her most famous Cleopatra role.&amp;quot; Co-founder Melanie Kamsler added, &amp;quot;To capture this theatrical mood we created contrasting dramatic looks to highlight these ideas of performance, myth, and illusion.&amp;quot; See the film exclusively on ELLE.com, below.
