Cool Hunting
Refinery29 Shops offers up their latest collaboration, "Catch the Sun," an exclusive, limited-edition collection of jewelry by Lisa Levine. Levine's Mexican-inspired designs combine vibrant hand beading with her signature chain metal work to create woven earrings, pendants, and chains that are sure to inspire sun worship.
We particularly like the crescent-shaped "Harvest Moon Pendant" (pictured right) that looks like something a hippie mom would wear without the patchouli overtones. The entire collection is a great way to add warm multicolored hues that are as equally effective layered as they are alone. Each piece has been limited to a production of 10, so act now before they disappear with summer Fridays.

DUMBO-based designer Brian Crumley's jewelry collection, "Peace Under Fire," was inspired by the "futility of the peace sign," as well as "a reaction to the glamorization and ubiquity of guns, knives, and the such in our culture," he says. Hence, the "Knot a Rifle" pin he created as a part of the latest five-piece collection. Made from sterling with gunmetal plating, the subtle embellishments...
