baubles bangles and.... eh.






do you guys like the jewelry line dannijo?




they've gotten a ton of attention recently, not least of which is because of their friendship and association with the man repeller (whose blog i love).




but i'm just not sure about them.




to me, it kind of looks like a couple of kids got access to some great hardware and stones, and started putting them together like puzzle pieces. the sum being worth less than the parts:






they're not bad looking, but they just look a bit slapped-together, rather than really considerately designed.




do you agree? or am i way off the mark here?




when i went to check out their site, i did find a couple of things that i liked. most notably, these clean, basic, minimal rings:







perhaps this just reflects my interest in more streamlined lines these days, and more architectural accessories?




but i don't know..... i just think maybe these two were happy accidents.





thoughts?

  1. YES! Their stuff is so slapdash. Anyone can go to midtown to buy some hardware and a pair of needle nosed pliers. I am NOT a fan.

  2. I hadn't considered that they look slapped together, but you're totally right.

    Still, I love the industrial-cum-girly vibe of a lot of their pieces.
