65. HARD AS NAILS

Square cut or pear shaped these rocks don't lose their shape!

Glamorous, stylish, and they can transform your entire look... no not diamonds, nails!

No longer is nail art just tacky white airbrushing on clunky acrylic, it's  evolved into a sophisticated modern art form that is both classy and cool if done right.
Dubbed "one of this season's hottest accessories", the colours, textures, lengths and shapes of nails today exude a luxury and sense of humor that's unique to this generation.

45. STURDY MECHANICS AND DELICATE ANATOMIES

 There are no words to explain how immensely talented jewelry designer Olga Noronha is. I have nothing but praise for her.

She is a power house of creativity, hard work, inspiration, and to top it all off she is as sugar sweet and courteous as can be.

We first met over a year ago when she needed a model to showcase her Incarcerated Bodies piece at the Au Contraire catwalk show for second year BA Jewelry Design students at Central Saint Martins.
Since that day I couldn't help but keep up with her work, the elegant yet raw, striking yet tasteful pieces that reinvent the modern day definition of jewelry and how we wear it.
