Find Of The Month: Electric Picks
Some of the coolest designers out there all tend to have something in common. They aren’t just driven to create beautiful things; they’re motivated by something within them. That something is infused into every piece – a virtual segment of the designer’s true heart and passion, on display for you to wear.
Such is the case with Electric Picks, a lineup of handcrafted, one-of-a-kind bracelets that pair the designers’ adoration of rock n’ roll with eye-catching accessories. The brand itself is relatively new on the scene, both both Mj Barton and Chantel Gia have had a lifelong affair with music, and that incredible feeling you get when your favourite track comes on the radio or you iPod. Their brand, Electric Picks, seeks to allow music lovers to rep their interests in a chic way.
The collection includes styles for both men and women, each of which follows a general schema of classic round beads and a vintage or custom guitar pick (although many of the women’s styles don’t feature a pick at all, in lieu of gems, spikes and other beads).
The idea isn’t to just don one, but dozens, for a slice of rocker glam style. Of course, the more jewelry-shy may want to start out with just one or two – but the variable price points (starting at about $38 and climbing up to over $120) make it easy to build your collection – and fast. Looking for a truly unique gift? Electric Picks can also customize a bracelet for you. Snap up your hubby, bandmate or kid’s pick when they’re not looking, ship it in and the lovely design duo of Mj and Chantel will work with you to craft the perfect look.

Although Electric Picks is relatively fresh on the scene, they have racked up tons of press – and fans. The collage above represents a seriously small fraction of the celebs that have donned an Electric Picks piece. From young starlets like Evan Rachel Wood, Ashley Benson and Vanessa Hudgens to rock legends like Green Day’s Tre Cool and Guns & Roses drummer Matt Sorum to famous personalities like Rachael Ray and Guy Fieri to respected actors like David Arquette and Gerard Butler to dozens of other musicians, singers, producers, DJs, actresses, actors and more – you’re in good company when rockin’ one of these bracelets.
Electric Picks aren’t sold anywhere in Canada just yet in terms of bricks & mortar locations, but they will happily ship to Canada for reasonable prices. Whether you’re looking for the perfect gem to suit your rocker girl best friend or your jammin’ boyfriend or your still rock n’ roll to me parents, they’ve got you covered with dozens of styles and growing.
Finally, I’ve got some exciting news for all your rockin’ readers. Electric Picks has graciously agreed to award two winners with the bracelet of their choice! Interested in scoring a piece of rock n’ roll history for your wrist? Here’s how to enter:
