Papillon Belle

The average butterfly only lives between 1 and 4 weeks, but Audrey Botha has found a way to immortalize them. The butterflies used in her collection are sourced from farming projects all over the world and are bred in a sustainable manner. By purchasing jewelry from Papillon Belle, you are not only helping the environment, you are also providing employment for the families in third world countries who breed and raise these delicate creatures. Love that.

Ribbon Ring

 

The Ribbon Ring by AMINIMAL studio is inspired by the structures found in magnetic fields. I love how it stretches over two fingers – like a magnetic leap – with intertwined strips of nylon to form an incredibly gorgeous two fingered ring.

ISWAS+WILLBE

 

Great pieces from ISWAS+WILLBE that manage to accomplish a rough, yet modern look. And the styling? That could sell these bad boys alone. Swoon.
