Renegade Jewelry (and more!)

Only a few steps into Fort Mason and I spotted these lovely porcelain necklaces. Chicagoan Sofia Masri makes each bead by hand. I think the faceted ones on the right are my faves.Photo by: Jordan Kushins -
Oh wow, did I love the goodies on display at the Heyday Design booth. Designer Claire Madill works in her Vancouver studio, creating porcelain pins and earrings from molds made from vintage glass pieces (like the patterned underside of an ashtray). The mix of matte and glaze! The cubic motif! The pop of stitched color! So good all around. I bought a pair of earrings here and have worn them pretty much every day since.Photo by: Jordan Kushins -
Accessories aren't just for ladies. David from Wood Thumb models one of his signature timber ties (which are made from reclaimed materials, natch). They're pretty stylish, and would certainly make a statement over the standard silk or wool.Photo by: Jordan Kushins -
Stone & Honey was totally on top of the delicate-geometric-patterned-trend with these asymmetrical gold pendants.Photo by: Jordan Kushins -
Have a gander at these hot studs! Lots of little posts on display from Isobell Jewelry. So, I watched Bridesmaids a couple weeks ago and Kristen Wiig has these colorful heart earrings she wears in almost every scene that looked so damn cute, and I thought these would probably give the same effect.Photo by: Jordan Kushins -
A bounty of bangles from Voz Clothing and Art. Neon is back, people! Embrace it. These are beyond awesome.Photo by: Jordan Kushins -
Molly McGrath—aka Molly M Designs—has added a touch of color to her laser-cut jewelry. I bet these babies would be compliment magnets.Photo by: Jordan Kushins -
We Are Brainstorm had a great collection of posters, including this one showing Earth right down to its colorful core.Photo by: Jordan Kushins -
This ceramic chicken has a bit of an Egyptian look which I was strangely drawn to. The Ranch Design Group had some really lovely rough-and-rustic stoneware, from plant pots to custom tiles.Photo by: Jordan Kushins -
I actually did this a few years ago, so I bought this card from Paper Pastries.Photo by: Jordan Kushins -
I'm not in the market for dolls these days, but I'll be damned if these plush gals from goodbyebluemonday weren't adorable.Photo by: Jordan Kushins -
It takes a mix of four different colored dyes for the gals at Bellingham, Washington's Spincycle Yarns to get this pitch-perfect, super-saturated mustard yellow.Photo by: Jordan Kushins -
It's blurry, but this is a cute print from El Lohse Illustration of Charles, Ray, and an Eames Rocker. What a happy family!Photo by: Jordan Kushins -
There's something about the way this bear embraces his state that just truly tugs at the heartstrings. Artist Annie Galvin is an SF local, and half of 3 Fish Studios (along with her husband, Eric). If you're not familiar with their work, check it out because it's fantastic. And if you're local, they host printmaking classes in their studio, which I've heard are a ton of fun.Photo by: Jordan Kushins -
I am a sucker for ceramics, and the big, bold florals on this collection from Dahlhaus stood out.Photo by: Jordan Kushins -
Fort Mason, the venue for the SF Renegade Fair, sits right on the bay. It was an (unseasonably) clear day, and from the windows in the back you could see straight across to Alcatraz. Budds and I celebrated our purchases with a beer at the bar. What a smart idea to have a bar at these shows, amirite??Don't miss a word of Dwell!

Modern Jewelry
Diamonds may be a girl's best friend, but a truly unique piece of jewelry can be more precious than any gemstone. Unlike in years of yore, personal adornments are no longer worn simply to display one’s social status. Now, gals of all means and backgrounds wear bold pieces that are both glamorous and make a personal statement all their own. I have selected some new pieces that you can mix with your coveted vintage baubles. They're also perfect on their own. Peruse these pieces, which would make excellent gifts for the jewelry lover on your list; I'm smitten with them all.
