Haute Shop of the Week: Kim&Maki
 |
The beauty of fashion and online shopping is that there's always something new to discover. But sometimes a girl feels like she's seen it all. Especially when it comes to jewelry. Which is why we were happily, and admittedly surprisingly, wowed by the newest and coolest jewelry boutique on the block, Kim&Maki. Carrying lots of up-and-coming jewelry designers from Paris to Tokyo to New York and everywhere in between, it's a new eye-candyland and we're ready to play. We especially love the tough-luxe vibe of Orner and also fell for Marjorie Victor's organic and artistic pieces, as well as the vintage-inspired jewelry by Medecine Douce and the crafty-cool of Mur. Discover your fave designers and pieces, including rings, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, brooches and hairpins, here at Kim&Maki. P.S. Kim&Maki loves us too and is giving BussBuss readers an exclusive 30% off with code BUSSKM30 at checkout through September 24, 2007. |
Many of you have already discovered Marjorie Victor and her beautiful, delicate, hammered sterling silver and gold fill jewelry.
The Organic Cuff Bracelet (as featured in the November issue of Lucky Magazine) is her newest design and something we have been wearing EVERY DAY for the last 2 weeks now! Light, airy, sculptural and simple, we like it because it gives the impression that you're wearing several bangles - but without the bunching up effect. It's also the perfect bracelet for those of you who have tiny wrists and never wear bracelets because you can't find any that fit - this cuff is flexible and adjustable to fit any size wrist.
We're offering it in two versions: shiny, polished 18K gold plate or sterling silver. You'll note we've added quite a few more items to her collections as well. Check it out!
Marjorie Victor combines the fluidity of organic form with the sculptural strength of metal to craft jewelry that is sophisticated and strong, yet unapologetically feminine. Hand forged and finished, each piece is uniquely textured to embody a modern aesthetic with natural precedent. Marjorie Victor's jewelry is all handmade from locally-sourced, recycled silver and gold.
Marjorie Victor has worked for over a decade in the fashion and design industries, most notably as an assistant to industrial designer Eva Zeisel. After a sculpture fellowship at the Coubertin bronze foundry in France and a jewelry apprenticeship in Philadelphia, she introduced her own collection in 2003. She holds a degree in art history and painting from Barnard College and has also trained at Sterling Quest Jewelry Design School in Mexico and at the Fred de Vos Wax Carving Workship in New York City.
Marjorie Victor Jewelry has been featured in more than 50 museum and specialty stores around the globe, including Henri Bendel (NYC), the Sundance Catalog, Milwaukee Museum of Art and Tomorrowland (Tokyo). Her work has also appeared in numerous publications, including both Elle and Lucky magazines.
Victor lives in New York City and works from her studio overlooking the Brooklyn Bridge. The kaleidoscope of fashion and art in the vibrant city she calls home provides endless inspiration for continued design exploration.
What’s especially pretty about Marjorie’s collection is the contrast between the cool, delicate, matte silver and shiny, warm, polished 14K gold fill. We are obsessed with the timeless, organic look and feel of her designs!
