we're Obsessed!

Spiritual to her core, jewelry designer Katey Brunini looks to the stars when pondering life's big questions. If she needs some time with the elements but can’t get away from her beautiful California home, she takes up residence in a teepee on her lawn. This sort of deep contemplation leads to inspired jewels like this necklace: a Mayan totem pole carved from an antler horn and strung on a DNA helix-shaped gold chain. Since my thoughts—to be totally honestly—are often more grounded in style than up with the stars, I look at the exotic piece and wonder, "Wouldn’t that look gorgeous with Burberry Prorsum's Batik print peplum jacket?" Why yes, I am sure it would.
