Anita Ko Jewelry: 18-Karat Gold and Diamond Hoops

Anita Ko brings a distinctly Los Angeles ease to fine jewelry, pairing diamonds and 18-karat gold with hoops, bamboo motifs and clean shapes designed for daily wear.

The result is polished, personal and meant to leave the house.

Ananya Fine Jewelry: Chakra Bracelets and Colored Gemstones

Ananya makes fine jewelry around coloured gemstones, 18-karat gold and the idea that adornment can carry meaning as well as light.

The mood is vivid and personal, with every bracelet or ring asking to be worn as more than decoration.

Sunglasses Under $500: Frames Sorted By Shape

Sunglasses under $500 are a very good place to be opinionated because the frame, not the logo, determines whether they earn daily wear. I start with the shape that balances the face, then look at the bridge, the arm width and the visual weight of the lens. Square and rectangular
