Vitamin Daily

In an era of throwaway fashion it’s good to have something solid to hold on to.

Pearls Before Swine is handcrafted jewellery that creator Himo Martin calls “heirloom pieces.”  For his custom collection of black heart pendants and rings cast from wisdom teeth, Martin buys bricks of gold and silver that he melts down and hand-casts into mini link necklaces ($549), clutching wing pendants ($1399) and cluster chains ($499) that can be manipulated at whim. Add imperfect Akoya pearls and you’ve got soulful pieces you’ll want to pass down to the grandkids.

In the meantime, wear your weight well.
