A Closet Must-Have: Wire Embellishment


Taking a quick break from paper writing and American Idol watching (goodbye Andrew and Katie) to write about one of my favorite "trends," jewelry embellished with wire. I can hardly call it a trend because I've been in love with it for about 4 years now. I was first introduced to the style when a couple of my friends took me to see "the earring lady" on W. Broadway in Soho and now I'm hooked. Here's why its so cool:
1) It's unique. Wire jewelry is often handmade, so really no two pieces look alike. I haven't seen this style produced en masse, so you probably won't see your jewelry on someone else.
2) It can be cheap. Any up-and-coming jeweler on the streets of NYC can throw together a beautiful piece of artwork made with wire, and they often do!
3) It's versatile! You can wear these pieces to work, to the club, or on a sunny day on the weekend.

They're super appropriate for the spring and summer so get your pair and start rocking them today! Now...back to my paper:)
