I've grown very fond of Australian designers and although I've never visited down under I have found and befriended a large number of talented designers and bloggers online and in New York. With that said, I am so excited to show you the hand-made offerings by the Australian jewelry design duo Charms Baltis & Ben
Neich. Their designs are an amazing blend of urban chic, rock and roll and delicate simplicity.
Charms has been designing jewelry for more than 7 years and her adornments are created out of an affair with fashion,
interior design, architecture, music, and film. She works with
unique and raw materials like
buffalo horn, crocodile leather and pearl shell contrast beautifully with
traditional precious metals & stones.
The debut "Born To Fly" collection is a mix of silver, buffalo horn and pearl shell carved into creatures of flight! Eagles, humingbirds and butterflies are suspended on chains in mid-jorney.
The collection was inspired
by long road trips along the South Coast of Australia, bright skies and dark
silhouettes of birds soaring above. Fantasies of flight have been represented
by flying horses, sparkling zirconias and plenty of luscious winged creatures.
