Two years ago I received the most unique birthday present from my best friend Blake. As I unwrapped the necklace I caught a glimpse of pearls, hemp, glittering golden pins & intricatly detailed beads in shades of gold & pink. I was in awe, it was the most amazing example of “hippie chic” jewelry. Over the years he has so graciously added to my collection of unique, handmade jewelry. For Christmas Blake went for a more “glam-ghetto-fab” look & decked me out in a chain linked necklace complete with a lizard pendant & my favorite part 2 chandelier crystals! As his occasional hobby has turned into a passion & ultimately a booming business, I have reeped all the benefits…and by benefits I mean ornate pieces that make even the most plain white tee & jeans look fantastic & on trend! The 2 most recent additions to my Roots & Wings collection are a hemp collar embellished with coral, turquoise & pearls and a pair of statement earrings that play on the juxtaposition of the natural hemp & stones with the delicate chain. I cannot tell you how many times I have been stopped on the streets of NYC & asked where I bought my fabulous necklace & I have the pleasure of proudly stating my best friend made it especially for me…who doesn’t love one of a kind pieces?!
