Creature Comfort

Comfort Station Jewelry

We all have our trauma recoveries. Pick your antidote:
1. Booze
2. Carbos
3. Jewelry

If you chose No. 3, Comfort Station — Amy Anderson’s whimsical collection of baubles — is the cure for what ails.

The British artist-cum-designer handcrafts her pieces from mixed materials like sterling silver, gold, Swarovski or antique chandelier crystal, and sustainably harvested woods.

Quirky charm earrings like miniature walnut cuckoo clocks and gold-plated scissors (that actually open and close) dangle from mismatched gold and silver vermeil chains. Double up on painkillers by wearing the Death by Chocolate necklace: The dessert recipe hangs in a locket on a strand of chunky white agate and gold chain.

You’ll feel much better all dolled up.

Everyone else will be sick with envy.

Available at Eden & Eden, 560 Jackson Street, at Columbus Avenue (415-983-0490 or edenandeden.com). To see styles, go to comfortstation.co.uk.
