Chrishabana Jewelry by Letizia Rossi

A slightly different approach than the delicate scenes made of hair by Melanie Bilenker's jewelry, the latest offering from Brooklyn-based jewelry designer Chrishabana feature charms strung on braided locks of human hair. Drawing on the 18th century tradition of curling, plaiting and weaving hair into decorative motifs, Chrishabana's pieces return the air of sentimentality to hair as a medium. The collection features three versions of the Braided Charm Bracelet: the Gold/Blonde bracelet is adorned with gold dipped brass molar and heart shaped charms, the Vamp Red/Auburn Bracelet has red auto lacquered brass charms of encircled bull, molars and a skull, and the Matte Black/Black Bracelet features black auto lacquered brass charms of a fist, molar sand an encircled bull. The bracelets are $180 and available exclusively at All Purpose in Los Angeles. They're tied into to the store's spring theme "Whiplash," a limited edition collection consisting of torched and twisted metal chains on cord necklaces inspired by the loss of innocence following James Dean's death.

New from BY:AMT
by Russ Lowe Is good design recession-proof? We think so but regardless it can't hurt to hedge your bets on items like those from this latest crop from BY:AMT that are beautiful, functional, fresh and sensible.
