ginger 13: spring and the city

b+w shell hoops * cowrie turtle

ginger13 designer cindy yokoyama recently returned home to the islands after spending four months in nyc studying fine jewelry design. the website just relaunched a few days ago and is filled with fresh adornment blending the line's island glam roots with a hint of urban edge.

lava rock beads mix with vintage lucite and earthy gemstones in the island girl in the city collection while new eco-friendly styles made with recycled glass and wooden findings have popped up in the green collection. i am particularly fond of the naturally bold design of the black and white striped shells found in the budget-friendly starfish line. it seems so delightfully punk rock, no?

twiggy * lava bead mix

labradorite chunk * b+w shells * black coral hoops

while the majority of ginger13's pieces are priced well under $100, the gently priced starfish offerings can be yours for under $25. 

p.s. to celebrate the introduction of her three new collections, cindy is offering 15% off all online orders through the weekend!
