locket, sunburst (sold out! here it is in black), abalone station

House of Harlow 1960 was one of those celebrity off-shoots (this one by Nicole Richie) that I was ready to ignore. But her designs are quite unlike anything else out there, and I think that speaks to a strong sense of confidence on Nicole's part, and that's something I really respect, and admire.

Her designs grow on me every time I browse the selection. Captivating my heart right now in particular are these pieces (five in all). But of these five, my favorite are the medallion locket and key necklaces, and the horseshoe bangle.

I really honestly think that designs like these are completely unique. (Who else makes a horse-shoe shaped bangle with gold pyramid studs? I'd sure like to know!)

So, hats off to you, Nicole Richie.

Touché.
