Meshing metal and leath-ahh, this woven wonder is off the cuff! With the vibrant orange that blew us kisses at brunch and tickled the toes of Thakoon for Nars, the golden glow is mixing in and stirring it up. A magnetic closure equals an easy-on, and the little price tag makes for a smart summer steal.

Hammered out in Oregon by artist/metallurgist Erin Hasler, Ija Designs is made under a cool shade of green. Delicate zodiac and nature inspired jewelry are made in a studio that uses 100% renewable energy. All of the metal she uses is bought recycled, and she recycles her scraps diligently. Stocked in places like Fred Segal, Future:Standard, and Nordstrom, everyone’s getting starry eyed over this feel good metal.

Nina Cortes is the darling designer of her namesake jewelry line Nina Loren who you may recognize from the Project Runway spin-off Project Accessory. Nina was a force to be reckoned with as she made it all the way to the final two. Nina’s sparkling Swarovski designs caught the eyes of audiences and judges from day one with a gorgeous, wearable necklace crafted from recycled pieces. Needless to say, she won that challenge and continues to gain interest with her elegantly-edgy pieces. We caught up with the accessory guru to get to know her better off-screen, and she is just as sweet and funny as on the show.
