Behind the Baubles: Sarah Magid

January 3, 2014 by jessica Leave a Comment

Based in NYC, jewelry designer Sarah Magid has 15 years of experience designing for brands like Henri Bendel, Coach, J.Crew, and Etienne Aigner—but I think we can all be grateful that she eventually branched out on her own. She masterfully mixes brightly colored stones with sculptural metalwork to create pieces that can best be described as art. (Heck, I’m just as crazy for those pink crazy lace studs as I am for the larger jewels.)

Behind the Baubles: Anna Beck

December 16, 2013 by jessica Leave a Comment

Becky Hosmer’s love of jewelry started back in college when she had the opportunity to explore the globe, but it was her time in Bali that led to the Anna Beck collection. She was struck by the intricate metalwork techniques that appeared both ancient and modern. Working alongside a Balinese artisan, she began designing her own pieces and eventually launched her collection in 2003. All of her pieces are still handmade in Bali and leave me yearning to jetset to a far-flung, tropical destination.

Becky is offering B&B readers a 20% discount through Jan. 1 with code ABHoliday. Let me know if you treat yourself!

Shop It: Multi Disk Charm Necklace, $445 // Silver Dome Cuff, $1,190 // Chain Open Drop Earrings, $300 // Blue Quartz Diamond Drop Necklace, $205 // Blue Quartz Hexagon Ring, $335 // Beaded Saddle Ring, $310 // Signature Stackable Rings, $275 // Open Disk Sunburst Earrings, $230 // Wire Rimmed Green Amethyst Diamond Cutout Cuff, $515

Behind the Baubles: Karen Hsiang

December 10, 2013 by jessica Leave a Comment

Beautiful, sensual curves are a hallmark of Karen Hsiang’s jewelry collection, so it wasn’t too surprising to learn she was a former dancer! Her delicate designs are meant to be worn everyday, but they’re even more breathtaking layered with other pieces from the line—or with pieces from your own jewelry box. Better yet, each item can be customized with the metal and stone choice to suit your style.

Karen is offering a 30% discount to B&B readers through Christmas with code BKAB. I’m actually pretty eager to add a piece to my own collection and finally settled on the crevice ring (gold-plated, moonstone) after spending the better part of an hour winnowing down my choices! Tag me on Instagram (@bedknobsandbaubles) if you place an order, I’d love to see what you pick out!

Shop It: Silver Wrap Ring, $190 // Curved T-Bar Necklace, $225 // Silver 3 Pointer Earrings, $490 // Dainty Lariat, $75 // Crevice Ring, $140 // Silver Lateral Ring, $205 // Lateral Cuff, $315

Behind the Baubles: Brandy Pham

Ironically, the older I get, the more likely I am to reach for a whimsical accessory. However, it’s imperative that it’s juxtaposed with a sleek ensemble. Brandy Pham nails this sweet-meet-modern aesthetic with her namesake line. I’ve certainly been crushing on her black cat ring, but the needle cuff from her latest collection quickly won me over – almost as much as the heart-melting smile of her newborn!
