A Rose Is a Rose

J Rose Designs Jewelry

You know perfectly well that you need another charm necklace or bland pair of chandelier earrings like you need a hole in your head.

So judging from the amount of new jewelry you purchase every week, we can only assume you must find the idea of trepanation rather appealing.

For something that’s truly a departure from the current trends, look to J Rose Designs Jewelry. The line includes delicate, semiprecious stones strung between gold chain necklaces; hammered sterling earrings; and a single horn-shaped carnelian hung from a slender, fourteen-karat strand and surrounded by a cluster of leaves.

The pieces are bold yet wearable and can be easily integrated into any style.

So you can be sure to have a look that’s all of a piece.

As well as a head that’s all in one piece.

Available at Vagabond, 37 North Third Street (267-671-0737). To see styles, go to jessicadecarlo.com.
