Rough and Ready

Glamour for cavewomen, Elizabeth Knight’s Primitive collection is rough and ready

Elizabeth Knight is a jewelry line for tom boys. Designed and handmade by Elizabeth Thompson, these accessories are made to “transcend gender” and “seek intrigue.” These aren’t delicate pieces, they’re ready for a little rough and tumble action. In previous collections, including Dark Horse, Armor and Ground, Elizabeth mixed raw and natural materials with organic shapes. The necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings have a prehistoric quality that also makes them timeless.

In her most recent collection, Primitive, the pieces are bold and almost weapon-like. There are long spike earrings, the “Blade Ring” and a cuff of metal twisted to look resemble rope.

Check out some of our favurites from the Primitive collection below and see the rest on Elizabeth Knight’s website.

Modern Locket

Wednesday, July 13th, 2011

Emily Rothschild’s lockets are vintage accessories for tech-savvy times.

NYC artist and designer, Emily Rothschild, presents a new way to hold onto your USB–and it’s way better than a lanyard around your neck. Her USB Locket is “a re-design of a turn-of-the-century mourning locket” with a special place to fit a 2GB USB drive. Instead of one squished up photo, you can store a whole gallery of your nearest and dearest next to your heart. Plus, who gets around to printing their pictures anyway?

See more of Emily’s innovations on her website.

You Are Here

You Are Here, Paris pin

Rep your city with a piece from Talia Sari‘s jewelry collection called, You Are Here. The collection’s title is fairly self-explanatory–these brooches and necklaces are maps. From Tel Aviv (the designer’s home base) to Manhattan, each city’s map is transformed into a geometric pendant that can show you the way home. If only there was some sort of a GPS rigged up so you could find pizza on the way. Next time, Talia, next time.

Nous Sommes

Tuesday, December 21st, 2010

French design team, Nous Sommes, turn pop culture idols into iconography for your neck. Their 6 piece collection includes busts of Terry Richardson, Karl Lagerfeld, Lady Gaga, Spike Lee, Grace Jones and Michael Jackson. Perhaps un-ironically, Nous Sommes has a solid following in the celebrity scene. Their tumblr, blogspot and facebook page are frequently updated with photos of famous faces showing off the famous face around their neck. The tatted-up jewelers even crusaded from Paris to NYC to get a shot of Terry wearing Terry.

Check out the snapshots below, including Teyana Taylor posing for the new Nous Sommes lookbook.

Skyline For Your Neckline

Thursday, October 21st, 2010

Plastique is simply, “plastic jewelry with a graphic designer’s touch.” There’s not much more information than that, but we do know her name is “Jen” and she hails from LA. Her collection of rings, necklaces, earrings and bracelets are sharp geometric cuts of beauty. They’re also cheap, starting at $1 for a number acrylic ring.

Here at hearty, we like Plastique’s skyline jewelry the best–check out the tiny London Eye and Hollywood sign detailing. See more of the skyline collection below and don’t miss out on Plastique’s Esty page. We also love the “world landmarks acrylic ring set” that can be worn separately or together (which would make the greatest architectural weapon-jewelry of all time).

What Time Is It?

bottle of watch parts pendant -Anotherfeather 1

Hopefully no one asks you the time while you’re wearing this watch, because it’s a lot more fashionable than functional. Anotherfeather’s Bottle of Watch Parts Pendant is a tiny bottle filled with old watch cogs, gears, screws and watch hands. The “watch” pendant comes with a leather or cotton cord (a copper or brass chain can be purchased for an additional cost). Leave the ticking behind and cop this little guy for only 18 bucks!

And check out the rest of Anotherfeather’s shop, it’s reasonably priced and makes us think of the Blair Witch Project–in a good way.
