Earring My Bell

Katie Costello Jewelry

It’s easy to accessorize for attention. Just slap on some wearable art and take your pet parrot out for a stroll.

But to turn heads in the right direction, try something from Katie Costello’s jewelry line.

Working with gold chains and silk cord, the Malibu-based artisan incorporates black onyx, green amethyst, and other semiprecious stones — as well as feather, key, and dragonfly charms — into necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. Long links of delicate rectangles and circles, gold-filled discs, tiny beads, and polished horns will ensure that all eyes are on you.

And not in an “is that chick wearing a neon Shriner’s hat?” kind of way.

Available at Diavolina, 156 South Robertson Boulevard, at Third Street, West Hollywood (310-550-1341); Stark Waxing Studio, 3335 West Sunset Boulevard, at Micheltorena Street, Silver Lake (323-666-3335). To see styles, go to katiecostellojewlery.com.
