Here’s some heavy news:

Your accessories are going over like lead balloons. Sure, you and the beer holster are meant to be together. Just not at your nephew’s bris, during job interviews, or while at garden parties.

So it’s high time you met fine jewelry designer Megan Thorne. The Dallasite’s self-titled collection features earrings, bracelets, and necklaces that mix way-back-when brilliance with modern sensibility.

Her hand-hammered rectangular rings in 18-karat yellow, white, rose, or green gold add the perfect amount of understated class. The crisscrossing Mosaic necklace made from gold and glass with a tiny center diamond is sophisticated and subtle. And the Crown Cab gold earrings filled with cabochon rhodolite garnet and diamonds are ideal for proving less is more.

Thorne makes all of her jewelry entirely by hand, so no two pieces are exactly alike. Which is a much nicer conversation topic than always explaining your cold one at the ready.

Because that, of course, is for lightweights.
