There couldn't be a better time for Fiona Paxton's range of embroidered statement necklaces inspired by 1920's glamour. But don't chalk it up to mere coincidence, the designer has worked on prints and embroideries for the likes of Moschino, Armani, and Chloe so it's safe to assume she knows a thing or two about trends. The collection, launched in 2008, is already selling out on Kabiri (a great place to find jewelry from up-and-comers) and is only bound to expand as 2009 is slated to be as accessories-dominant as ever. Paxton's necklaces start around $210 and are hand beaded. To learn more about the designer, click here.


In this day an age, everyone's got their hand in the business of exclusives and e-commerce giant Revolve is no exception. Their newest exclusive--before this came Alex & Chloe wedding rings and a custom Goyard trunk worth about twenty thousand--is a modest but statement-making necklace by contemporary brand Fremont. Inspired by the 1920's, the Fremont collar is hand-beaded by a Delhi-based craftsman named Abdul Azzim. Elegant, trend aware, at $165 we find this exclusive both well-timed and thoughtful.
We're so impressed with UK jewelry designer, Maria Lau, and her usage of hosiery as a material in woven jewelry. If we remember correctly, a few other designers have been playing around with this concept recently, but Maria Lau's inventive pieces are surely all her own. What makes us really want to run out and buy one is seeing them styled (left) with an all-nude ballerina-like outfit. There couldn't be a stronger look for summer and a statement necklace is definitely an important element in making it happen. Click on the link above to shop Lau's jewelry.
We've been stalking this accessories line, Ka Pow Wow, since we first noticed their necklaces were selling out on Pixie Market faster than a pair of black Louboutins do on Net-a-Porter. Ka Pow Wow makes to most wonderful ruffled pieces that, for a little more than one hundred dollars, are a real bang-for-your-buck investment. Spring 2009 was a season where statement accessories happily took the place of it-bags and so we think there's no better time for Ka Pow Wow than the present.
