This Might Just Be the Golden Age of Indie Jewelry

Summary: When the warm weather arrives, we face a big problem: fewer clothes mean less style. How do you fix a boring summer outfit? The answer is jewelry. Right now, we are in a "golden age" of independent jewelry brands. Young designers, self-taught artists, and gemstone experts are making amazing pieces that can make anyone look cool.

There are 10 great indie brands to check out. Some, like Gottlob, make fun lucky charm bracelets. Others, like Peyote Bird and Xolo, use classic silver and turquoise. If you like a rough, handmade look, brands like The Ouze use recycled metals and natural gems. There are even brands like Eskhaton that are so cool, famous fashion stars like Rick Owens buy them without a stylist! Whether you want a simple leather band or a gothic steel choker, these indie brands have exactly what you need to upgrade your summer style.
