What an assortment of lovelies....the Dannijo necklace in picture two is fire! Dannijo is certainly "riding the high tide" with their innovative, and eye-catching designs. I have yet to see a piece from them that I don't like! Oh, and that amazing cuff by Iradj Moini is equally beautiful with the mix of turquoise and citrine. I think what I love most about Iradj Moini pieces, is that they're absolutely unique and not easy to replicate, so you don't see a lot knock offs floating around. It appears that their design aesthetic is that, it's not necessary to churn out a huge collection of "clones", but to channel a full range of creative effort into a few carefully crafted pieces. Whatever and however they do what they do, the end result is exceptional! I'm also lovin the the Louis Vuitton "headphone cable" cuffs in picture four.....I would wear both just as they appear here. Looking at these pictures reminds me that I will definitely have to try wearing two pretty good size necklaces together; it's a good look if both necklaces aren't too huge to the point of looking gaudy.
