Once designer Sandra Mardini saw these green chalcedony stones, she instantly designed the Petra necklace in her head…and then created the necklace while listening to her favorite Bob Marley CD.

For a delicate, feminine look, wear the Mossy Green Apatite Ring alone, says designer Anne Maa. But for a little more spark, you can stack this simple ring with another style.
Anne’s best jewelry tip? Try jewelry that you like but that you think is "not you." If you’re a silver person who likes the looks of a gold piece, or if you like a bold piece and only wear less showy items, go for it. Jewelry shouldn’t be too serious–it should be fun.

Although designer Linda Ly now resides in LA, part of her will always remain a New Yorker. She loves the urban chic of messenger bags, so when Begeren’s original messenger style (the Chelsea Cargo Sling) launched last season to much success, she decided to create a smaller version with sleeker, more structured detailing. The namesake bag shares Brooklyn’s hip, eclectic vibe that she adores.
Fun fact about Linda? She has a stripper pole installed in begeren’s studio and hosts impromptu pole dancing nights with her girlfriends. Says Linda, "It’s the most fabulous workout and so much fun!"
