Mamie Ruth Accessories

Hey now, little lady. Watch where you point that hardware. And drop the damsel in distress act while you’re at it.

We’re onto you — and those killer accessories by Griffin-born label Mamie Ruth.

Pieces in designer Emily Bargeron’s jewelry collection were inspired by her sweet Southern granny.

Hop along in gold cameos, revolvers, feathers, and precious stone charm combos with an eye toward genteel quirk. Don’t count on Mama’s pearls: Bargeron’s take is one long, loopable strand — half brown and half smoky gray.

Another smoking gun? She affixes stones and polished metal pieces to necklace clasps, too — allowing them to trail prettily down wearers’ backs.

So keep an eye over your shoulder.

Available at Meringue, 1393 North Highland Avenue, Morningside (404-724-0960).
