"We aim to help women realize their beauty and worth by providing them with truly everyday pieces of jewelry that can transcend trends."I've shared before how much I love supporting small, women-owned businesses, and today I'll be telling you guys about a company that I just recently discovered and fell in love with that is both those things!
THE BRAND
Wind Blown Jewelry is small jewelry business based out of Wake Forest, NC. All pieces are hand sawed, soldered, textured and forged by owner and creator Rachel Calhoun. Rachel has been creating jewelry since she was just 8 years old and has turned her passion for design into a career!Rachel creates her brass and gold jewelry with inspiration from simple lines and shapes. Her styles are effortless, minimalist and meant for everyday wear. Right up my alley!
THE RISE NECKLACE
Wind Blown's RISE NECKLACE is one of those pieces that you can literally wear with anything from a white tee to a LBD. I love the 16 inch chain that lets the pendant sit at the perfect spot on your neck, and the size of the pendant itself is just bold enough, while still being dainty! The quality is lovely and I don't feel like I need to baby the necklace - it feels sturdy and all the seams in the metal are closed well. The clasp is a good size and is easy to put on without looking - always a plus!
LOOK #1: DRESSED UP
I love the subtle sparkle this necklace gives a more formal look, while still being minimal and cool. I layered this beauty with other dainty pieces to edge up this simple white dress and I love how the different chain lengths adds interest to the whole look.
LOOK #2: DRESSED DOWN
The Rise necklace is the perfect touch to a jeans and sneakers look. I love how it pokes out from the collar of a button-down and adds just a little extra somethin' to the outfit.
LOOK #3: MIDDLE GROUND
I love gold and black together and the contrast of this necklace against a simple black sweater is just perfect. I kept the rest of the outfit pretty basic so that the necklace (and hat) are my statement pieces!
DESIGN I LOVE
I love all of Rachel's designs, but some of my very favorites are the Hammered Knot Ring, Faithful Ring (paired together!), and the simple circular design of the Radiant Studs! You guys should definitely check out the rest of her work on her website, and the beautiful imagery on her Instagram feed!
