Introducing EDDIE BORGO

Jennifer Garner in W Magazine

Award winning designer Eddie Borgo combines traditions of American costume jewellery with inspirations taken from Rock and Roll, and its New York scene in particular. Having created custom pieces for designers Tabitha Simmons and Phillip Lim, Eddio Borgo launched his own line in 2009. Since, his pieces have become must-haves for every serious fashion connoisseur and featured in every single magazine from Vogue to Elle to Harper’s Bazaar. Last year, he won the CFDA award for Accessory Design. Borgo is also known for his own personal style, mixing classic menswear with rock and roll sensibilities.

Jessica Alba


Rose Gold Padlock Spray Necklace

We also love Borgo's necklaces, and Padlock Spray necklace in particular. It maintains an edgy sensibility while being very sweet and romantic at the same time. It takes a great designer to be able to do both, simultaneously.

Eddie Borgo's pieces are very exclusive so we are thrilled to be carrying them. Check out the complete selection on our website.

Jewellery Inspiration: JAK & JIL at Fashion Week

It's fashion week time and our favourite street style photographer, Tommy Ton, has been busy snapping fashion industry's most fashionable. Sure, we love the shoes and the bags, but our eyes are always on the jewellery. And, it seems like Tommy Ton also has a penchant for jewellery.



We've noticed a lot layering of multiple bracelets and bangles (although, maybe not so functional for office work, haha). We're thinking an array of Chan Luu's and Rachel Leigh's friendship bracelets, with some glam from LeiVanKash to complete the look.



We especially love how this image and the stacking of five large bangles, paired up with this stunning beaded bag. So colourful and fun! To get the look, find a couple of big chunky bangles like this one by Vita Fede.



Bracelets aside, we also love styling with multiple rings. This image focusing on blues and greens (with yellow nails!) is making us pull every colour of Rachel Leigh's 'Gumball' ring out of our drawers.



And, we spotted Noir's 'Brooklyn Bridge' ring, looking very chic in autumn colours and accompanied with that giant silhouette pendant.



This edgy punk-rock inspired look is very elegant, not too hard. As you know, we can never pass on a good spike. Again, we are pulling out all our Noir and Joomi Lim bracelets out of our drawers.

DANNIJO 'Oksana' earrings

Yes, we mean Olivia Palermo, our favorite fashion "it girl." It fits her really well. Dannijo designs are super feminine and pretty, with a colourful mix of metals and crystals.


Olivia Palermo wearing 'Amara' Earrings

In person, these pieces are absolutely stunning: intriguing shapes, vivid colours, and impeccable craftsmanship.


DANNIJO 'Amara' Earrings

Although they are super glamorous, they also feel a little bohemian and a little bit playful. Which makes them appear cool and effortless while sparkling away as bright as they possibly can.


DANNIJO 'Kale' Necklace
