COLLECTING SPARKS.: Currently Coveting: Bing Bang Jewelry

I'll be the first to admit I'm late to the game on this one. I actually kind of ignored the Bing Bang Designer Pop Up Shop on BaubleBar when I first saw it, but something about the arm stack on Jacey (of Damsel in Dior) caught my eye. I'm totally crushin'.

I love the hint of edge that all of their pieces have – and more that it’s not too in-your-face. As much as I like to think that I am edgy and fierce, I wear Jack Rogers 5 out of 7 days a week, my wardrobe is 90% J.Crew, and my go-to jewelry is modest studs, DY rings and bracelets, and a monogrammed ring – basically the polar opposite of fierce.

What I love about Bing Bang’s designs comes down to the wearability of them – for me, they have just enough gothy-ness (coined it!) while also staying delicate and feminine – so I’m convinced I could pull them off. I’ve actually been dying to add some skulls and spikes to my jewelry routine (to get back to my high school emo roots…more on that later), but I’ve been shying away from it, convinced I can’t make it work with my wardrobe.

To really seal the deal, their baubles are super affordable - around $30 for studs, and the posts are sterling (I am super lazy and sleep in my earrings so this is essential for my sensitive skin), and the bangles are not entirely out of reach for something so versatile.

Now I just have to wait out my spending freeze (KILLER – I am almost crying at my desk unable to scoop up the ShoeMint Lambert’s I have been dying over since April that are no on sale for $50) until September so I can add some of these lovelies to my jewelry box.

Love at first sight when I saw this on Jacey.

Adorable crosses.

This ring is so dainty and fierce at the same time.

Nautical love, obviously.

Sometimes I'm not sure I can pull off the skull trend (hilarious when I think about how many skulls, guns, bleeding hearts, etc etc I wore in high school), but these are just enough edge.
