Designer Spotlight: Katharine Sise

As seen in the December 2006 Issue of Elle Magazine; funky, vintage-style jewelry designer Katharine Sise has a great line of necklaces that mix cute and edgy surprisingly well.


Katharine Sise Gold Bat over Jade Necklace, $195, Azalea Online

This piece is a prime example of Katharine's offbeat creativity- Mixing feminine objects like precious stones with unexpected items like handcuffs, skulls, and bats.

Below are a few of my favorite pieces. To locate stores, visit Katharinesise.com, or you can buy selected pieces (such as these) online at Azalea Online.

Her designs are HUGELY overrated. It doesnt seem like it takes much creativity on her part to string charms on a necklance!

Well, the same could technically be said about any jewelry designer, however I believe that there is a design sense that one must have to be a designer. It's not like these designs are simply random, they do come from a combination of logical thought, creativity, and knowledge of elements of design.

I don't personally own one of her pieces because they are out of my price range, but it's a pretty simple concept if you don't like them, don't buy them. Easy, no?
