Kumquat Are You Talking About?

Silkfruits Necklaces

When it comes to jewelry, you’ve got grape expectations.

So prepare to go bananas for Silkfruits. The necklaces are ultra lovely yet rough around the edges and sure to be the apple of your eye.

A cocktail of vintage beads, crystals, floral notions, and fresh water pearls, mishmashed with other findings like antique lace and dowry scarves snagged from the global markets of Turkey and Dubai, makes for accessories that pack a pretty punch.

And designer Mayu McCartt’s just peachy. She hand-links all the chain, hand-dyes and -braids the silk for her leis, and created the original moldings for her silver and copper designs.

You know there’s not a lemon in the bunch.
