{ seek and ye shall blind }

i recently fell heir to an assortment of vintage indian and morrocan jewels that had seen better days. i knew they had to be reinvented and revived! i got to work outfitting the original settings with pretty new crystals, semiprecious stones, and 14 karat gold hardware, to make enchanting earrings and dexterous necklaces ~ much like the one i can't stop wearing!

designed for shrimpton couture, this collection perfectly embodies the seamless unification of vintage & modern elements that i endeavor for in my work. they evoke old world souks & spice routes, while injecting a shot of modern moxie into whatever they're worn with. it was so hard to resist keeping every single piece!
