Clockwise from top left: Serenity Earrings, $65; Aster Studs, $120; Blossom Hoops, $115; Lotus Earrings, $85; Clyde Earrings, $120.I'm always on the lookout for new jewelry labels, well at least new to me. New feelings, new aesthetics. I was so pleased to come across the serene, natural designs by Gorjana. The Yugoslavian-born designer was relocated to Canada and then the US at an early age, where she was discovered as a model in her teens. With her husband by her side, the designer Gorjana launched her jewelry line in 2004.
Loved the world over, the label has worked closely with numerous charities as well as many celebrities - the likes of Sophia Bush, Lindsay Lohan, Mandy Moore, Cindy Crawford and Claire Danes have all sported the designer's wares. Magazines like InStyle, Lucky, Marie Claire and WWD have also taken notice since the label's inception.
I love the handmade feeling each piece has, sort of natural and imperfect. Intricately cut circles, lotus shapes and other abstractions form the line as well as more recognizable shapes from nature like feathers, birds and stars. Emphasis is also placed on texture: hammered styles, faceted elements and raised details.
Here are some favorites.
