Designer: Bijules

Our favorite Brand Pimps at TheMarket.com just posted this great discovery on Jules Kim, the designer of very coveted jewelry line, Bijules.  Check it out.

I think its pretty safe to say that I like to talk– a lot. Not that its a bad thing; I’m just not afraid to speak what’s on my mind. That may be the reason I’m in love with Bijules. I mean, I like for my jewelry to be as brazen as I am, and Jules Kim’s line is certainly one filled with statement pieces.

From her “Bite Jules” collection (a playful jab at her imitators, which used real castings of her lip, her roommate’s retainer, and her late aunt’s teeth) to her “Bling Privée” rings (her ever-popular curved bar rings, with precious stones that are visible only to the wearer,) each piece has a story behind it.

Her most recent collection, apltly named “Hairem,” plays with multi-functionality; using hair (both human and synthetic,) to create pieces that can be fashioned into jewelry, or hair accessories. Noteworthy pieces include the “Hairball” (a lapel pin which can be worn as a pillbox hat– it also resembles a bun,) her “Hairrings,” (earrings which, when worn blend in with the rest of the wearer’s hair, create the effect of highlights.)

Another noteworthy collection is her “Nail Rings,” which are fun, brass rings that resemble acrylic tips, which are worn over the real nail. They also feature snakes (on the pinky ring, it slithers up the finger, on the others, down,) and are malleable, so they conform to the wearer’s finger. And if you’re feeling really adventurous, you can buy customized, blinged-out versions of the rings with the precious stone(s) of your choice. But hey, I’ve said a mouthful already; go check out the collection– it speaks for itself.
