Renegade: Chainchainchained

I am noticing that a few Renegade jewelry designers perhaps use the same source of brass ornaments...but who cares if they are cute! More to go around.

I got the dainty arrow earrings  from chainchainchained pictured above, and have been wearing them everywhere. Just when I was getting bored of earrings, this pair is not to big and garish, and not too small. Plus, ever since Karen Walker featured arrow print clothes and pins, I've been obsessed with arrows.

It's funny how little motifs find their way into our consciousness, and then jewelers and textile merchants across the land cash in: skulls, birds, bugs, feathers, and arrows....whatever will be next?

And I also gotta say that I am diggin brass these days. Partially for it's warm coloring, and perhaps also a sort of chintsy hipster irony...but mostly cuz of the whole vintage trend we have going on right now. In anycase, we are all in luck, cuz brass is cheap, and perfect for casting into interesting shapes. Plenty to be found on Etsy, peeps.
