Miju Feather Jewelry by Ami Kealoha
Started a few short months ago by minimalist design duo Mike Giles (of Furni) and his lovely lady Judy Lawrence, Miju's first collection, "The wind beneath," consists of feather-shaped laser-cut and -etched jewelry. Each pendant-style necklaces and earrings are precision cut form either white or black acrylic, then hand assembled and packaged with simple, elegant attention to detail.
Starting at $18, these items will make excellent early gifts with the holidays fast approaching. The complete collection is available online from Miju.
