You own your fair share of statement pieces. But how about an accessory that actually says something (no, we’re not talking labels)?
Find your voice with a necklace from local line Kana.
Christine Aiko Beck and Iris Willow stamp and hammer each customizable piece by hand: There are teensy initial pendants; circular silver or copper charms paired with delicate amethyst, garnet, or freshwater pearls; and bolder rectangular bars, which can fit up to ten letters. Some are left shiny; others are brushed for a more rugged finish.
Kana also makes a line of tags stamped with SF’s different neighborhoods. So whether you’re a Marina girl or a Mission dweller, you can wear it. Loud and proud.
Available at The Common, 1077 Mission Street, between 6th and 7th Streets (thecommonsf.tumblr.com); Urban Mercantile, 85 Carl Street, between Cole and Clayton Streets (415-564-2248 or urbanmercantile.com); online at kana-jewelry.com, $40 and up.
