In Good Company

Good for you, being one step ahead with the Russian look.

You were wearing the ushanka to Billy Bob’s six months ago. Sporting valenkis at the West Village last week. And rocking the sarafan in Deep Ellum only yesterday.

Hate to tell you, but the look is more downtrodden proletariat than Russian royalty.

So you’ll tip your babushka to jewelry designer Sandra Goodkind’s Beatrice collection, gold (14- or 18-karat) and sterling silver pieces with a distinctively royal flair.

The Maltese cross in pink sapphire and the 18-karat diamond-encrusted fleur de lis pendant (both reproductions of medallions collected by Goodkind) will make you feel as pretty as a princess. Victorian cuffs, crown earrings, and monogram rings feel inspired by a grander age. Exactly what your wardrobe needs.

Unless you’d rather go on looking more like a Yugoslavian folk singer than a Muscovite aristocrat.

The answer to that one? A resounding nyet.
