Elsa Peretti | Today, I wore black.

When I go shopping, for every piece I go home with – my want then becoming a have, there are 3 others that I only get to look at – these are and will most likely forever remain my wishes. This new section will be all about these haves, wants and wishes…

If you look inside my jewellery box (and by jewellery box, I mean the tray that sits on my dresser), you’ll find a pendant in the form of a bean – pretty mundane, I know. And yet it’s one of my most beloved possession.

This particular picture of Leandra Medine started it all:

At first, it was her shoes that appealed to me: pointy, black and white, oxford shoes? Love. Then I noticed the cuff on her wrist… And for a while, every time I’d see a picture of her, she’d have that cuff on her wrist.

So, of course, I became obsessed with her cuff and figured out that it was by Elsa Peretti, an Italian jewellery designer known for having created some of the Tiffany & Co.’s most recognized items – like the Teardrop and Open Heart pendants.

I fell in love with Peretti’s Bone cuff because of the its simplicity, yet highly distinctive quality. I find it elegant, all the while being bold. I’d wear with jeans one day and to a wedding the next. And by I, I mean Leandra. Because as obsessed as I am with this cuff, it’s definitely still a wish…
