Mutants and bespectacled wizards are so last year. And vampires are the Paris Hilton of the imaginary set (way overexposed).
But some mythical creations never go out of style — like a piece from Jessica Winzelberg’s debut jewelry collection.
The banker-turned-jewelry designer crafts ethereal one-of-a-kind stunners, as well as limited-edition gold hoops, bangles, rings, and necklaces in her downtown studio.
Winzelberg mixes multihued (some unusually cut) stones (boulder opal, variscite, and malachite) with faceted gems (orange garnet, blue topaz, and light blue and green sapphires) for a look that balances edgy elegance with natural beauty.
Because they have a multidimensional quality, the customizable pieces look great layered or as standalone statements.
Making them an immortal part of your wardrobe.
Available at Metier, 355 Sutter Street, between Grant Avenue and Stockton Street (415-989-5395 or metiersf.com). Additional styles online at jessicawinzelberg.com.
