I am really loving the Dream Collective necklaces we just got in. Designed by Kathryn Bentley in LA, the line combines roughly hewn shapes and raw textures with natural, subdued tones for a primal, earthy delicacy.
New York based designer, Ted Rossi, blends exotic skins and quality leather with metal and crystallized Swarovski into his handmade cuffs. The combination makes for a luxurious yet edgy look that we're crazy about.

Notice the delicate silver and gold wire wrapping (a signature feature across all her collections), the playful layering of chains and the use of stunning stones. Our images just don't do her justice!
