Brooke Worthington Jewelry at the Cotton Mill

We are always looking for something new, fresh, and fabulous to show our customers. That is why we are delighted to share Brooke Worthington Jewelry! Brooke, a student at Belmont University, makes her beaded bangles from semi-precious stones, recycled glass, wood, and bone beads and embellishes them with sterling silver vintage charms and relics. They look great in a big ol' stack or mixed in with an assortment of metallic bangles. The holidays are creeping up, slowly but surely, and these would make excellent holiday gifts!

Style Spotlight: French Kande

This little gem of a line is new to The Cotton Mill, but is sure to have serious staying power.  Based out of LA, FIDM-grad Kande Hall was inspired by some French medallion charms she picked up on a trip to Paris.  She began mixing them with rough-cut stones and pearls, creating a classic and edgy look that was unique and feminine. The end result is a collection of modern, stylish pieces with a vintage feel (and at an affordable price, no less!).

Fall is already streaming into the Cotton Mill, so keep your eyes peeled for French Kande! Personally, I'm loving the super-long delicate chain necklaces with tassels and charms. Glam it up for evening with a little black dress or wear with an oversized tee and boyfriend jeans for day.  Or, layer it with a few other pieces of varying lengths to change it up a bit. It's only a matter of time before all the It Girls are sporting FK. Here are a few of my favorite pieces from the Fall 2011 collection:
