Sol Sister

Rochenne Sol Jewelry

We all know cowgirls get the blues. (You would too if you went around smelling like a barn.)

But even those with sun in their name can get a little dark sometimes. Take local jewelry designer Rochenne Sol Kogan.

The former ceramics teacher and craft junkie puts ironic (even sardonic) touches on pretty, traditional pieces. Styles like Drop Dead Cute (delicate glass beads dangling alongside jade skulls) and Heart of Darkness (a vintage ivory pendant on a long gold chain) mix the refined and the earthy, the beautiful and the morose.

But the line’s not all doom and gloom. In fact, the dainty, wraparound Tulips, Owls, and Fish, Oh My necklace and enchanting Key to My Heart pendant are pure sunshine.

They’re sure to make you sparkle.

Even when you’ve got reason to sing the blues.
