Dogeared Jewels & Gifts Layers it On

Dogeared, a trendsetting brand that creates handcrafted jewels and gifts in Los Angeles, is previewing their latest line at the summer trade shows, where a significant trend continues to be the layering of handcrafted jewelry. Bracelets and necklaces are layered to create an individual look, creating a casual comfortable and California-inspired attitude.

Dogeared has always crafted jewels that are perfect for layering. The use of gold, silver and gems, on chains, silks, leather and linens, with a variety of sizes of charms, give the fashionista everything needed for creating a custom look.

“Dogeared is about inspiring self-expression, showing your uniqueness, your personality, how you see yourself in the world,” explains designer and founder Marcia Maizel-Clarke. “That is why we have always enjoyed layering – it is such a wonderful way to creatively communicate your point of view. With our line, you can combine a small gold Karma necklace with a large gold one, add a teeny-tiny Seed necklace with a peace symbol charm, and even layer on a Make a Wish necklace on a colored silk thread. Your combination expresses your personality and style.”

Dogeared Jewels & Gifts offers word pebbles, hand-cast custom charms in silver and gold, healing gems, chakras and more. Layer then on, mix them up, and set your own trend this (or any) season. Dogeared Jewels & Gifts

When designer Marcia Maizel-Clarke recognized the need for jewelry that speaks, she founded Dogeared Jewels & Gifts in 1991 and created the original word-jewelry and charms. The response to these and the success of the Make a Wish necklace gave birth to a family of products that capture the magic of words, symbols, wishes and dreams. Her unique, custom-cast jewels are regularly featured in fashion, lifestyle, and celebrity publications, in films and in television shows. Dogeared is sold by trendsetting retailers around the world, including Fred Segal, Sundance, Intuition, and Red Envelope. All Dogeared products are handcrafted in Los Angeles.
