Whimsy

Sometimes you need a piece of jewelry that flat out refuses to subtly complement an ensemble; a loud mouth in your jewelry box to remind all the other polite baubles of how much fun life can be when you live it in Technicolor; a piece that demands center stage and gets you off that wall, flower! Coquito Designs’ new line, Whimsy has you covered- from lobes to clavicle to wrist. An array of colors, textures and shapes, Coquito Designs’ Whimsy, is a bold collection of delicate, one-of-a-kind necklaces, bracelets and earrings. More than that, it’s an exploration of all the wonderfully fanciful things in life.

With multi-colored handmade furnace glass beads that are evocative of St. Basil Cathedral’s onion domes, Swarovski Crystals that recall lip-puckering hard candies, and sterling silver beads clustered together like so many Nonpareils lining a cake, this jewelry transports you to the days of chasing fireflies while maintaining a level of sophistication you’ve become accustomed to as a "grown up." In a vibrant mix of colors like Ice Cap Blue, Egg Yolk, and Bing Cherry, all the beads- made by artists in Bali and Thailand—are brought together as artistically conceived by Kristen Berge, and include a sterling silver decorative toggle or heart shaped lobster clasp.

Unconfined by any notion of season or attire, the Whimsy line works just as well with a white button down and pair of jeans in the summer as it does with a black velvet cocktail dress in the winter. Featuring twelve one-of-a-kind designs, the Whimsy line is available exclusively at Coquito Designs’ online boutique.
