Jewelry Designer Kathryn Bentley featured at April’s Lucky Shops LA event
Designing Women – Jewelry Designer Kathryn Bentley and leather goods designer Clare Vivier opened their Silverlake Shop today. VIVIER AND BENTLEY will house the duo’s colorful collections, including Kathryn’s DREAM COLLECTIVE costume pieces (featured in this post) as well as her fine jewelry. I have a thing for jewelry and Kathryn’s textured, brass infused collection stopped me in my tracks during this Lucky Shops LA event. She has a rare instinct for textured pieces, which she attributes to both an early appreciation for architecture and being inspired by nature. When I met her, she was excited about her store opening just a few weeks later and I’m even more excited to check it out this week. Get a closer peek at the Dream Collective pieces after the jump and get ready to fall for her stacked bracelets.
Kathryn’s diverse bracelet designs are great solo pieces, but even better stacked with a pinch of color. Her necklace reminds me of African trade beads and I think they’re a great complement to the oxidized brass bracelets.
