Natural Beauty

With the heat letting up and cool breezes passing through, we feel like we're on much better terms with Mother Nature. We say it's time to enjoy the truce before Winter comes and what better way to celebrate the beauty of Nature than wearing the beauty of Nature? We've picked some of our favorite jewelry pieces that incorporate natural shapes and materials into your everyday look.

f. is for frank’s handmade collection of jewelry has a textural, sculptural and modern feel that is derived from the artists’ background in designing and manufacturing architectural elements. While their jewelry reflects organic shapes and objects in nature, artists Shoshannah Frank and Casey Melton also enjoy making a huge statement with scale. Cast pewter is their medium of choice. Their degrees in sculpture and metalsmithing and experience in architectural design is evidenced by the way in which their jewelry achieves a perfect balance between art and function. The Wood Veneer Cuff is cast out of pewter with an antique satin finish. The woodgrain pendant is attached to a black leather clasp by sterling silver wire. The cuff is about 2" wide.
