Not to miss is the label’s recycled metals collection, as well as trend-forward pieces designed in collaboration with influencer Lucy Williams. 

If the words affordable and jewelry make you think it’s not high-quality, think again. The label works only with precious metals, including sterling silver, solid 14-karat gold, or thick 18-karat-gold-plated sterling silver. So, if you’re looking for a fun and playful piece (peep the label’s Insta-famous checkered rings) or a plate necklace engraved with a meaningful phrase, you’ll feel good knowing your chosen piece was worth the spend.
