While I tend to favor studs, a solid statement-making pair of earrings are a jewelry box necessity. Especially once warmer weather begins to rear its head and layers of clothing start to drop off. Annie Costello Brown‘s brass and silver jewelry is hand-cut and hammered in her Los Angeles studio, and the results are pure art.
Creating moments of unexpected beauty in everyday living is Wayward‘s mission. The New York-based multidisciplinary design studio creates home products and personal accessories by expert craftsmen and women. Wayward then partners with workshops and small factories in the U.S. to bring those designs to life, honoring the makers behind them along the way. Linen and leather pillows, tote bags and pouches, and jewelry all shine within their current collection.
After a weekend of 60-degree temperatures I have all things spring running through my head! Many of my wardrobe staples make the transition from season to season by depending on layering and accessories to mix them up. Portland shop Barrow features beautiful glazes and hand-dyed cotton cord, just the sort of things I’m looking for to make everything feel a little lighter and brighter.

German-born jewelry artist Carina Shoshtary has created some of the most out of the box pieces I’ve seen of late in her What’s Left of Krypton series. Shoshtary uses broken pieces of previously graffitied walls, combining them to form the most interesting brooches and necklaces.

Cold Gold is one of my go-to jewelry lines of late. I wear my black and brass hexagon studs at least one day a week, and have gifted a few pairs of speckled gray and brass bar studs to raving recipients. Next on my list is snagging one of Alaina’s confetti patterned leather keychain wristlets!
Something about January makes me feel like I should be hunkered down embroidering next to a roaring fire. The problem is I haven’t done so much as cross-stitch since elementary school, so the end results would be nothing as spectacular as the work of Lorena Marañon. The Cuban-born artist is inspired by the landscapes of her youth – northeastern coastlines, rivers, and plants – and the colors that surrounded her. The result is a beautiful body of work that’s full of embroidery, patchwork, and jewelry.

Kimberly Huestis creates her beautiful jewelry line – Porcelain and Stone – through rock sculpting and ceramics. Design and environmentally-driven choices are at the root of her work, as well as quality of materials, and I’d say all of that comes through in spades.
