Throw back to the time our choker necklace was in Desnudo Magazine!
📸 💎 🖤📰

We used to specialize in bold chunky jewelry in non-precious materials like nylon and steel. But when the production costs from our suppliers rose and the quality and value didn't, we decided to discontinue those materials and focus exclusively on heirloom quality metals like sterling silver. Sadly, this meant designing smaller items for a while. But we missed the big "F-OFF" statement pieces we used to make so much that we finally figured out how to create them again, this time in premium metals. Our 2.0 versions are a bit more versatile: unisex and uni-size. Because the pieces will likely outlive you, you should be able to pass them on to whomever you like.

#ArtNouveau brooch,
by Henri Vever 1905
This devant de corsage (1905) is the work of Henri Vever. Its first owner was the first director of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs. In a letter, the jeweler explains that irregular Mississippi pearls were chosen to create the most realistic chrysanthemum blooms possible

From pink pussyhats to blue friendship bracelets, Tahirah Hairston writes for her newsletter, Ridiculous Little Things, about the limitations of using fashion to signify your values, and when a piece of clothing can really become a meaningful symbol, whether it's a red hat or a keffiyeh. "While there have been attempts to obscure the meaning of the keffiyeh — co-opted by hipsters in the early 2000s, on the runways in what fashion writers called 'terrorist chic' and even Carrie Bradshaw — the scarf can never truly be divorced from its original meaning because its roots are firm," she says. "Our appearance and what we wear has always mattered, but when we want that to say something politically there has to be more behind it — material action, peril, a solidified identity. Otherwise, you’re just speaking in contradictions."
