Speak Easy

Laurel Denise Jewelry

Accessories can say a lot about a person. A Barbara Bushian strand of pearls implies a low-risk, all-business persona. Gold rim-shaped medallions announce an automotive fetish. A squirting flower in your lapel suggests a tired sense of humor.

Want to get even more specific? Take a peek at Laurel Denise’s necklaces.

The Virginia native creates charming small drawings and writings on paper and then covers them with glass to fashion original necklaces that are remarkably delicate and distinctive.

Choose from the existing collection, which includes a purple flower in a square pendant and a necklace that says, “She lived life in her own little fairytale.” Or, better yet, work with the designer on your own custom design.

That way you can say it, not spray it.
