rona marie jewelry
if you happened by fighting eel's charming new boutique in chinatown since its doors opened last fall, it's quite possible you found yourself instantly smitten with the display of jewelry surrounding the checkout stand as you waited to pay for your purchases. what you may not have realized is amongst the sparkle is a side line of adornment made by fe co-founder & designer rona bennett.
constructed in her off-time as a diversion from the demands of running a fashion label, the naturally gorgeous glam features geometric gemstones and tumbled crystals intuitively combined in the most modern arrangements. the stones are curated from around the globe with rona mixing and mingling elements until each piece feels just right.
the quartz and agate amulets are an especially lovely antidote to the daily stresses of life, wouldn't you agree?
i pined for a few pieces when i popped into fe while home before the holidays, and only just discovered that most of the sparkle is one of a kind . . . never to be made in the exact same way again. an occasional exception is made for a handful of earring designs which may, at the discretion of the designer, be repeated. good to know, no?
remember that tip if you plan on heading down to first friday tomorrow night when the fighting eel flagship, the exclusive stockist of rona marie jewelry, hosts a trunk show of her newest concoctions. local psychic nichole myers will also be offering angel card readings if you seek a peek into your future.
