Loyalty and Blood

No, I'm not talking about vampires...I'm talking about a line of jewelry made in Brooklyn. A few weeks ago a friend and I took a trip to the Brooklyn Flea Market and passed by a table that sold some really interesting jewelry, Loyalty and Blood.

Their table mostly had these really interesting geometric designed earrings and necklaces.


If you can handle long dangly earrings, these are quite cool. They are simple but so much fun!

Most of my friends might not see me wearing jewelry like this--I'm usually a pearls or faux long pearls wearer but I like these because they are fun and different but also casual and you can wear them everyday. I can be cool, too...

Loyalty and Blood is a husband and wife team from Texas that moved to NYC, graduated from the school of visual arts and started a jewelry line.

Most of the jewelry is made of brass which is really pretty because it tarnishes over time. As a designer I love the look of aged antiqued brass.

Loyalty and Blood has been featured in a few publications as well as a Free People catalogue! I just wanted to share this on this fun holiday weekend. My friend ended up buying a pair of earrings for her brother's girlfriend--they were super cool. My husband and I are off on a day trip on this awesome holiday weekend--will let you know how it goes when we return! Any plans? Hope you're not working!

I think I have the most creative and talented friends. When I was up in Saratoga for New Year's with my friend whom I met in Florence, she showed me her Etsy Shop. She hand makes jewelry: necklaces, earrings, bracelets etc. Take a look at some of my faves!

Big Bad and Bold! They also come in the funky colors below and a soft grey HERE.

How cool are these? So funky and made of re-purposed wood! $56

Pretty Danglies.

Evil Eye Earrings for $92. I love that blue color. So pretty!

This might be my fave thing. I love long necklaces like this and the stones are gorgeous.
The Colors of Fall Necklace $39

She showed me some of the silver etched pieces shes been working on and also some work with feathers! SO NOW! I am expecting some feather earrings in the mail soon--AHEM. Contact her HERE for more info and pictures. Word on the street is that I have boring jewelry and the pearls aren't going to cut it every single day of the week.
