Gold, September–October 2016: Arrow Jewelry and More
TREND GAME
Arrow Smiths
Jewelry designers are besotted with arrow motifs. Both Sofia Kaman and Samuel B. have transformed the ancient weapon into wrap-around-the-finger–style rings, while Lynn Ban’s blackened arrow jewels evoke notions of armor, defense, and protection. Ban tells JCK she especially loves “the tribal aspect of the arrow piercing through the lobe juxtaposed with the primness of a pearl.”
