Hi there! 

As I wrote about in last week's NYFW recap, I had the opportunity to set up a shoot with Made in Earth jewelry after attending their fashion week presentation. Francisco and I fell in love with the company, the jewelry, and the energy behind all the gemstones and their origins and mining processes.  

In our shoot I had the opportunity to wear a lot of their jewelry which I just LOVED! Please see individual photo captions above for all their gemstone names and below for their meanings, healing and energetic properties as well as origins which is what makes each and every piece special. The craftsmanship from their original form to the jewelry they are fashioned into is just beautiful and I'm so proud to have gotten to work with this brand! Their pieces and colors are perfect for the upcoming spring season!

I can't wait to wear my new pieces (I am now the proud owner of rainbow pyrite earrings and an adventurine skull ring) and also coming up I'll be styling one of their ensembles for Francisco's Lincoln Center gala for Paul Taylor Dance Company. 

Xo,

Carolina
