Charmed, I’m Sure
With Mom’s Day just a couple of weeks away, I’ve been tapping into a bunch of fresh sources for mama-friendly gift ideas, which you”ll see plenty of in the lead-up to the big day. Today I’m psyched to introduce you to an awesome Canadian jewelry line (HQ’d in Toronto) called Liel and Lentz – designed by two best friends with a mind for fashion and form. Their pretty pieces combine organic, rare, exotic woods along with sterling silver, precious stones, and 14K gold filled. The overall result of the entire line-up is eye-catching collection that feels earthy, special, and trendy at the same time. Today I’ve personally chosen my favourite finds Liel and Lentz, but I encourage you to peruse their full site.
Chandelier Rib Necklace – $265
If you’re looking for a statement necklace – look no further. This stunning teak & 14k-gold filled necklace manages to pull off an impressive feat of looking super elegant and simple, while packing a serious impact onto any outfit. Imagine it as a focal point with a plain black blouse for the workday or pair it with an chic plum dress for a totally appropriate slice of evening accessorizing. Double Wrap Snake Gold Bracelet – $140
Truth be told I’m in love with ALL of the multi-wrap bracelets in the Liel and Lentz line. They all feature slightly different finishes and touches, like how many strands, the size and shape of beads, the colour, and the wood elements – like the walnut L charms interwoven with these simple gold beads. I’d like to quietly point out that if your initials actually are LL, you’ve got even more reason to admire the items featuring the brand’s namesake initials!
Ring with Large Stone Earrings – $125
Lapis Lazuli might just be one of my favourite stones – and luckily for me, the designers at Liel and Lentz appear to agree: the semi-precious stone is prevalent in their line-up. I particularly love the way it pops against the exotic Pau Ferro wood in these updated classic hoop earrings. I can definitely imagine my mom (and just about any mom I know) squealing in delight if she opened these on Mother’s Day – can’t you?
Rocky Road Free Shape Bracelet – $75
If stones are your thing, you’ll definitely want to peruse the gorgeous Free Shape collection of bracelets. Stack ’em, wear ’em solo, contrast your outfit or match it – whatever your heart’s desire. These are some of the more affordable pieces in the entire Liel and Lentz collection but they’re no less beautiful. I’m drawn to the rugged earthiness of the Rocky Road bracelet, infused with pyrite & .925 silver…but colourful options abound including sunny lemon quartz or the celery-shaded light green garnet.
Tie Necklace – $140
Oh me oh my, it’s the reinvention of the bolo tie: in jewelry form. This pretty piece is super adjustable with the DIY looping of the rainbow moonstone-draped ends through the simple walnut hoop. This necklace is ultra chic for the workplace over a basic tee, or for going out with a complementary sparkly top. Want more colour in your life? It also comes green labradorite (‘moss’) and smoky blue iolite.
That’s really honestly just scratching the surface of the gorgeous collection created by these two talented designers. I’m very excited by the look of their forthcoming men’s line as well – cufflinks for Father’s Day anyone?
