YSSO Jewelry and Earrings

YSSO was founded in 2020 by Greek mother and daughter Stalo and Alexia Karides, an archaeologist with three decades of jewelry making behind her and a former corporate lawyer who kept getting stopped about her mother's pieces at work. Every design is cast by hand in small batches at family-run workshops in Athens, and the name, pronounced ee-so, comes from chrysso, the Greek word for gold. This edit gathers the sculptural earrings, cord and beaded necklaces, cuffs and rings that read like something unearthed and then polished for today.

Adina Reyter Jewelry and Fine Jewelry

Adina Reyter grew up in Los Angeles in a family knitwear business and, after a stint in advertising, started her jewelry line from her apartment in 2001 around a single piece, the Circle Necklace.

MÉGA Jewelry

MÉGA was conceptualized in 2022 by celebrity stylist Dani Michelle, known for dressing Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber, and her mother Stacey Singer, a jewelry designer, and it launched in November 2023.

This edit gathers the chunky earrings, stacking rings, cuffs and Omega necklaces that make the label instantly recognizable.

ASHA by Ashley McCormick

ASHA by Ashley McCormick began in 2005 as a sketch the founder made while she was still in college, and her first pieces were designed with a Parisian goldsmith during her studies at La Sorbonne. The jewelry draws on art, architecture and world travel, with mother-of-pearl and semi-precious stones that sit between fine and fashion jewelry. This edit brings together her flower and shell earrings, clover charms and a mother-of-pearl cuff.

White/Space

White/Space is a Los Angeles jewelry brand founded in 2016 by Khadijah Fulton, a Parsons graduate who spent about ten years designing for fashion labels before turning to jewelry after becoming a mother.

Parts of Four Jewelry and Rings

Parts of Four, or P4, was founded in 2011 by Evan Sugerman, a Los Angeles artist whose background is in sculptural processes. The idea is that material leads form, and the pieces are meant as magical objects: hard-edged, solid and ungendered, with no seasonal calendar. This edit gathers Sistema rings, Roman link and charm bracelets, a Talisman-style danburite pendant, studs and a long run of FOB and Skeleton watches.

Amir Slama Swimwear and Jewelry

Amir Slama is a Brazilian designer who launched his own label in 2011, after founding the beachwear house Rosa Chá in 1993 with his wife Riva.

Jennifer Behr Earrings and Jewelry: Sculptural Finishing Pieces

Jennifer Behr began with handmade New York hair accessories and expanded into jewelry in 2017. I love how this selection moves between earrings, necklaces, headwear, and a jaw clip, giving a familiar outfit one deliberate point of focus.

Jenny Bird Jewelry: Sculptural Hoops and Clean Metal

Jenny Bird’s label centers on lightweight statement jewelry and clean metal shapes. This selection moves from hoops and rings to anklets, cuffs, chains, and necklaces, so I can choose one piece that feels like my own rather than build a matching set.
