BLACKBURN AND SWEETZER

Turns out she made it herself. Though not a jewelry designer by trade, I would love to see her go into […]

I really like this jewelry line Ankh, which I’ve written about before. The line is going to be part of a shopping event this Sunday, April 13 from 1:00PM-6:00PM downtown at Apartment 3. Mimosas and shopping sounds pretty good…

Friday night, the husband and I scored some sweet third-row, center-court Lakers tickets. Great game and we won. But that was only the beginning of the excitement and madness. First, I noticed the back of this guy’s shirt, which is wrong in about ten different ways…

…and then he turned around! The necklace is stupendous! It’s […]

I’ve been following Space Mermaid designer Stephanie Carbone for some time, and it’s been really cool to watch her develop as designer. Of late, she’s been getting some great press (including in the recent Scarlett and Natalie W issue), which is fantastic. This limited-edition crystal and coral necklace is insane in the best way ($375, […]

These just in: Ankh by Racquel limited-edition Jackson Pollock Puzzle necklaces (previous post on Ankh here), earrings and bracelets, necklaces by Material Things by Guy Lovin.

A friend of mine turned me on to LA-based Belgian jewelry designer Catherine Michiels, who creates these nature-inspired pendants on washed silk ties and rings in sterling, 18kt, bronze and platinum with diamonds (meaning some are much more expensive than others). Michiels, who cut her teeth at Marie Claire and Elle and also happens to […]

Cake jewelry on Melrose has closed its bungalow space in West Hollywood and has moved all its merch to its Los Feliz store off Vermont on Russell Avenue. Apparently, the rent got too steep to stay.  It would be a challenge to maintain the two leases - good news is that the Los Feliz boutique […]

I’ve been meaning to write about Sisu key chains ever since I saw them at Rodan vs Griffith sometime ago. My pics didn’t come out very crisp unfortunately, so it waylaid the whole process.
The pieces are more jewelry than key chains, made with culled together vintage finds from flea markets and new metalware. The charms […]
