Nest to Impress
Organic has become quite the ubiquitous term these days, yet designers Janette Wilkinson and Jana Erwin offer a not-so-ordinary nuance with Nest. Bringing forth luxury pieces with an organic feel, Wilkinson and Erwin have sought avian advisement in their collections. According to the designers, “Birds can make hundreds of trips collecting materials to build their nest. Nest collects natural stones, metals, leathers and vintage finds from around the world bringing them back home to the US where all our pieces are designed and handcrafted.” Pick from pristine pieces in the Faceted Glass Crystal collection to adorn your neck and lobes luxuriously with glossy glass beads in green, plum, or jet black. These gems are anything but granola.
