Off the chain!
Who’d guess that an Iowa based designer is the brainchild behind these pieces, with the kind of edge you’d assume could only be originated in the fashionable streets of Los Angeles & New York? Jami Rodriguez Jewelry is proof positive that it’s not where you are, it’s who you are. In Ms. Rodriguez case, a talented, kick ass jewelry making extraordinaire is who she is:
Her pieces are all about contrast: Delicate & heavy. In your face & demure. Hard & soft. Messy & neat. Bad ass meets nice girl.
Think layers and layers of chains, heavy gunmetal, brass, precious gems, jersey, baubles and a nod to the animal kingdom. Find her creations in select boutiques in the U.S. and based on her press, she’s a big hit in Japan, the epicenter of cutting edge fashion.
I love her series of chained animal bracelets, like this octopus. Multiple chunky metal chains wrap your wrist and a statement making animal sits on top. I ordered the rhino version and can’t wait to rock that beast on my arm.
