We all know it when we see it— it’s the silk, seductive headpiece that stuns the red carpet—the edgiest of cuffs that raises a simple outfit to cool or the mixed metallic necklace that lays ‘oh so gently’ over a plain tank top. It’s the perfect accessory. With statement necklaces and bright colors at the forefront this summer, bold accessories are a must for every fashionistas’ wardrobe. We’ve got you covered with these amazing accessory lines to keep you styled all season long.
St. Kilda
Designer Nora Kogan‘s Brooklyn-based line, St. Kilda, pushes the boundaries of fine jewelry incorporating creative designs such as her Matchstick earrings or surrealist-inspired, Man Ray lip-cuffs. Highlights from her latest collection include Temptation studs in 18k gold with green rosecut tourmalines, green amethyst Arcadia Snake rings and enamel Endless Love rings, featuring blue topaz stones on matching blue enamel snake bands. With many of her designs being inspired from the “forbidden” theme, it’s no wonder these pieces are so tempting!
FELIKS+ADRIK
FELIKS + ADRIK is the newest star to the market that launched just over a year ago. Think New York edge giving Low Luv a run for their money, but with price points that will leave you a little extra doe for that dinner at Boa you’ve been thinking of. The two designers started the brand in New York in 2010, but now reside in the enchanting neighborhood of Los Angeles, Mount Washington. FELIKS (‘lucky’) + ADRIK (‘dark’) are Russian names chosen to evoke a masculine tone with a playful spirit – two elements which clearly shine through in their pieces.

Mawi
It’s official, statement necklaces are here to stay. Mawi offers some of the most desired options in the market. With bold designs, their pieces are not for the faint at heart. Indian-born designer Mawi Keivom started her namesake accessories line in 2003 after starting out in womenswear at Isaac Mizrahi in New York. The scene-stopping necklaces have been worn by the likes of Alexa Chung (above), Olivia Palermo, and Harper’s Bazaar’s Johanna Hillman.
