The cascade of links flowing from the glass nugget of these earrings from Kyler Designs takes the design from simple to stunning. The shape of the ear wires is fabulous.

Michele Lerner designs cuffs with a rugged ‘Out of Africa’ feel. Wouldn’t this be terrific with the new bronze or copper clay? I can’t wait to fire up the kiln. Michele Lerner does not have a web site but you can find some of her work on the Barney’s site.
BTW…if anyone needs ultrasuede or faux leather for a project let me know.

I’m not sure why I was drawn to this photo in Elle. The necklaces from Stephen Dweck are intriguing.
The cuff bracelet from Anndra Neen has an interesting netting pattern.
The Fendi dress is light and wispy…a forecast of warmer days. But my interest was drawn to the simple pattern of S curves in the fabric. What a great cane that would make…black on white then white on black.

The packaging for SJC NCY jumps off the page. Cosmetic & perfume packaging can make or break an item. While I’m not sure if this is a sales winner, it is certainly wins my approval for color and design combinations. Sarah Jessica Parker’s dress in the background gives the ad additional energy.

CC SKYE is considered to be the Hollywood’s hottest new designer. She certainly has an interesting background from LA to Kathmandu, filming a documentary on Hindu and Buddhist worship, and then back to LA as a production assistant for MTV. Her designs definitely have an edge. “She marries unpredictability and wearability.”

It is a little disconcerting when styles you have worn are now considered…vintage. YIKES!!! Bakelite, lucite, resin, polymer what a interesting history they have written. Circa Sixty Three is bringing back history with its handmade jewelry constructed from 60’s & 70’s salvaged lucite. Be sure to check out the bangle page…groovy!!!

In a feature entitled CRYSTAL ROCKS on page 45 of the February Town & Country the page is ‘littered’ with cyrstals. ( Of course there are a few diamonds and pearls thrown in for accents.) The bracelet from H. Stern’s cobblestone collection is the centerpiece. For a mere $18,500 this little bauble can be yours.
While I was searching for a photo of the cobbleston bracelet I ran across the feather bracelet. I had to share this one as well. It reminds me of the necklace from Wednesday’s post.

Iradj Moini designs with abandon. The pieces in his collection contain combinations that I am sure would shock a traditional jeweler. When I see work like this I am empowered in my own designs. It helps me move in a ‘what the heck’ direction…very freeing!

The February Town & Country is the ‘Wonder Women’ issue. Artist and Designer Michele Oka Doner states in the first paragraph “my life is art”. I think she speaks for many of us. Her work ’straddles’ art, architecture, fashion and the decorative arts.
I love the public installation of bronze elements in the floor of the Miami International Airport and the beautiful silver necklace for Christofle.

The fossilized ammonite in the pendant from Dean Harris is 65 million years old. The shape is what caught my eye and then the design elements on the surface. This is a good example of one ‘perfect’ component making a strong statement.
The Dean Harris web site is OK…but the Facebook page is even better.
