Works Like a Charm

Nashelle’s Vignette Collection

Your inferiority complex stems from watching Wonder Woman as a child. Damn her Good Samaritan spirit, kick-ass athleticism, and accessories. (You have a list of people you’d like to wrangle with that Lasso of Truth.)

Nashelle’s latest collection, Vignette, has enough symbols of love and luck to rival the heroine’s star-embossed crown and cuffs.

Find Zen in a lotus pendant; wear your heart on your wrist. Peace signs are surprisingly chic (yes, really) on a chunky bracelet. A butterfly wing adds a sophisticated toughness to a delicately wrought amulet. Our favorite, the Morocco cuff, looks like a beautifully distressed floral wreath.

Pieces are hand-carved in 14-karat gold fill by artists in Oregon and sourced from recycled precious metals. If pretty is as pretty does, they pack a karmic punch.

And look Amazoning doing so.
