Behind the Baubles: Alexa Leigh

November 5, 2015 by jessica 10 Comments

Behind the Baubles: Alexa Leigh

It all started when Alexa Leigh Meyer designed double pendant necklaces to be worn with one pendant in front and another at the nape of your neck. Since then, Alexa expanded her line to include additional pieces that can only be defined as modern classics. Her collection is crafted from precious metals — many are studded with diamond pavé — that mix and match with other items from the collection and your own jewelry box to create a look that’s both unique and timeless.

Behind the Baubles: Tarin Thomas

TarinThomas-1

The next time you’re in search of dainty stacking rings, look no further than Tarin Thomas. Designer Kylie Nakao worked as a buyer for a New York boutique after graduating from Parsons School of Art & Design. Kylie reviewed jewelry from hundreds of vendors each season and noticed a lack of what she calls “cool, sophisticated, real jewelry,” the everyday pieces that mix seamlessly with the rest of one’s jewelry wardrobe. And with that, the Tarin Thomas collection was born. The pieces are a modern take on fine jewelry, created with precious and semi-precious gemstones and produced in sterling silver and gold.

Behind the Baubles: Majdan Rocks

MajdanRocks-BehindTheBaubles-10

As a trained artist and performer, Iwona Majdan is no stranger to challenging conventions. In fact, for one of her early situational art pieces, “The Dinner Project,” Iwona invited herself to a stranger’s home every Sunday for dinner. The yearlong piece explored issues of trust and a desire for human connection. It also pushed social boundaries. This subversive attitude is evident in her jewelry line, Majdan Rocks, that launched in 2012. There are two collections available to shop: Rebellion, marked by chunky silhouettes and edgy angles, and Love Bites, statement-making pieces with bite-mark impressions. The unexpected design of the Love Bites collection skyrocketed the chunky bite necklace and the subtle pendant version to the top of my wishlist.

Helen Ficalora

HelenFicalora1

There’s been a lot of talk about Helen Ficalora this week with Monday’s post and yesterday’s giveaway, but it’s for good reason. Helen is a pioneer of the initial pendant trend, bringing her fans personalized jewelry for over a decade. A customer can mix and match charms to create a piece that reflects her personality. There’s everything from letters to animals–the monkey is my favorite–yet even the most whimsical designs are understated for a timeless look. Charms are available in yellow, white, and rose gold with many also available in sterling silver.

The brand was developed by designer and former publicist Katie Schloss who specializes in whimsical designs (bottle opener bracelet, anyone?), Art Deco styles, and saturated color.

The bracelet is made of 10k gold and hammered to reflect the light. It comes in white, yellow, and rose gold. Best of all, it’s flexible so that it’s easy to get off and on.
