This week feels like the start of Summer (!!!!) - what kind of jewelry to you usually go for when the weather is warm? Usually, we go for pretty pieces that aren't too precious. Hand-crafted brass peices by Giles & Brother are a favorite - the hardware and leather roping offset cotton dresses beautifully.
And of course, who couldn't rock a lucky horseshoe necklace?
We've carried and coveted Giles & Brother jewelry since the shop opened in 2004. It's been our go-to line for antlers, arrows & anchors that could be heavy handed or as delicate as lace, all hand tooled. The lineage of the line is even more heartwarming - created by brother & sister design due Philip and Courtney Crangi, with friends & family handling every aspect of the business. They conceive to create “refined and rough-hewn heirloom pieces” - and we think they've succeeded brilliantly.
