My new favorite teeny tiny bracelet

7 Jun

As you all know I love stacking my bracelets, the more the merrier. I do however really like dainty pieces of jewelry as well and my newest love is this tiny skull bracelet by Iwona Ludyga. It’s 14k gold on a small chain bracelet or on a colorful silk cord, with or without diamond eyes. They are so cute and make  a statement whether worn alone or in a “tiny” stack. If you’ve liked the skull trend but have been scared of it, this bracelet is a perfect way to wear it. Not too over the top at all.

I prefer it with a cartier Love bracelet of course;)

 

 

Shop these dainty bracelets at Iwona Ludyga Designs.  14k skull on chain bracelet with diamond eyes ($290) or without diamonds ($245).On a silk cord without diamond eyes ($90).

Louis Vuitton has teamed up with Yayoi Kusama, a spunky 83-year-old Japanese artist known as the polka dot princess. Kusama is highly respected  as being a voice for the avant-garde.
