Refinery29: Josh Hickey by Ami Kealoha
Josh Hickey has emerged as an intriguing young jewelry designer, creating idiosyncratic pieces that straddle the fashion and fine jewelry realms. Starting from a raw, urban style, his craft has matured into refined, elegant women's collections and men's accessories. Josh's latest offerings for women begin with simple chains of flat-hammered teardrops, with asymetrical highlights and volume-building tiers. Josh's work for men tends to be more expressive, incorporating African elements, a lot of color, braided leather, sterling caps, Mediterranean red coral, black chains and cast-silver seahorse totems—a very, very welcome departure from the Chrome Hearts-styles and skulls motifs supersaturating the men's jewelry market at the moment.

Made from hiking rope, which is crafted into beautifully intricate knots and finished with gunmetal hardware, each piece is...
