I usually like simple, clean, modern lines in jewelry, but for some reason I am really attracted to these pieces by M.C.L. Matthew Campbell Laurenza (on Gilt today.) They’re beyond gaudy, and even worse, designed by an incredibly snooty looking man whose biography actually includes such lines as “…influenced by his family’s collections of art and antiques, Matthew started flexing his creative muscles at a very early age. As a child, he had the impressive ability to produce artistic sculptures…” Sculptures, really? wow.
Despite this, I cannot help but thinking a pile of these on my arm would look fabulous.
Update: I think these would be fun to draw, too!

Wow, there is alot going on here. The only one I like is the red cuffs in the middle picture, I would totally wear those. The rest I could go without, especially the purple group – yuck. But I commend the artist who made them, as pompous as he is, I salute anyone who has the balls to stand behind his creations for all the world to critique.

I agree, they’re pretty busy. And they’re so opposite of what I normally like, but I think I am attracted to the amount of detail on each piece. And the sparkles. And the colors. The more I look at them, the more I think they’d be better to draw than to wear. Especially because I think they’re real gemstones and probably all I can afford is a drawing of one.
