Misa Jewelry - Organic by Design


We local girls need to stick together, even if one of them is a true haole (that would be me, of course.) I've been lucky enough to befriend a talented new jewelry designer and fellow Island girl, Misa Hamamoto, the designer and owner of Misa Jewelry. Through the lost art of wax casting, she hand sculpts each piece into a unique organic form that mimics the natural world around her. Her latest series of gold and silver metal cuffs, dangly earrings, bold rings, and layered chains are all inspired by the Hawaiian coral and reefs from her island upbringing. She also infuses precious and semi-precious gemstones for colors inspired by nature and her worldly travels through Micronesia. I'm especially in awe of the large oval rings in her collection (gotta get me one!) I've always been a big fan of a bold, single ring on a woman's hand - a little artsy, confident, and always making a statement. Her beautiful designs are now available at Firefly on Abbot Kinney, Market in Brentwood (check out your Stacia here too!), Uzu in Manhattan Beach, and Wicati in Westwood. I highly recommend snagging one of her jewels sooner than later, because I can assure you, her line is going to be hot and everywhere and you'll be wishing you were the first to discover it. Stay tuned for more Misa Jewelry at www.misajewelry.com!

I've seen Misa's jewelry at Wicati on Westwood Blvd. It's gorgeous. Every piece is absolutely beautiful, with a very distinct look.
