There is one common thread I’ve spotted in some of the jewelry lines for S/S 2011 - Horn ornamentation is being used widely. I’ve seen them in all shapes, sizes and forms. Here are a few of my favourites:
The KOKNA handmade necklace by “A Peace Treaty” is a head turner. Part of the THAR collection, the necklace has an encased horn shaped bone pendant with spikes on chains. It’s made sustainably from discarded camel bone. (www.lynnsteven.com, $225)
I had the privilege of attending one of Rocaille’s trunk shows last month and I instantly fell in love. I could have walked away with every piece and therefore an empty bank account. Designer Amanda He, scours the world for unique vintage items and deconstructs and re-transforms the pieces into works of art. The “Ram with Horns” pendant on this large chain linked bracelet is an example of one of her many one of a kind pieces.
Of course I have to mention one of my favourite local lines, Lisbeth Jewelry. I just recently purchased a silver necklace with “mini horn” charms. (One of a Few, $82)
