Using only organic and reclaimed materials, Katey Nilan– the Northern California-based designer behind KateyLove Jewelry– creates each piece individually by hand. Made of leather and silk, Katie uses gold to frame semi-precious and precious gemstone centerpieces. The finished product: eclectic, whimsical and modern, with a one-of-a-kind attitude. Unique coloring and markings of each gemstone ensure no two necklaces are the same.
And Katey’s love doesn’t discriminate. Vegan and hypoallergenic options available; 100% recycled packaging material used each and every time. Necklaces range from $80-180; bracelets to be added to the line Spring 2010.
Because you can buy me love.
