Ambiguous Jewelry Art

When it come to fashion...I have absolutely no shame! I am not beyond, and I'm actually quite prone to, approaching complete strangers on the street inquiring about where I might be able to lay my grubby little hands on whatever item has my interests peeked. THAT is how I was introduced to the sheer AMAZINGNESS (yes, amazingness) that is Ambiguous Art Jewelry! I'm walking towards an earring vendor during the CASRAM finale in Silver Spring when I happen upon a woman with the bomb diggity earrings! (And yes, I did say bomb diggity...that's how excited I was!) I immediately walk towards her (making sure not to run because I've found this alarms people) ask her for the info and she gives it up in an instant in the form of a flyer!!! Now this is somewhat surprising because usually fashion addicts will BLATANTLY lie about not remembering where they got something fabulous in an effort to curb the amount of people who wear it! Thank GOODNESS this woman didn't go that route...it could have turned ugly. Unfortunately I didn't take a picture..and I can't borrow one from the website...so make sure you check out the site...Infinity Meets DreamCatcher (or Lollipop Metal Work Earrings as I like to call them) are my favorite...along with the Map of Africa ring!!

Created by Karen Jackson aka Kaya, this jewelry line takes the concept of jewelry beyond the boundaries set by European and American ideas and incorporates clearly African influences into to her uber unique creations. Think... Masai warrior, meets futuristic Rastafarian with a little Jimmy Hendrix thrown in there somewhere! This jewelry is not for the meek! Kaya has taken jewelry back to the REAL idea of adornments, featuring beaded head pieces, earrings long enough to rest on your breasts, leather chokers and some of the most exciting metal work I've seen in a long time!!

And guess what? She's having a SALE!! But...there's a catch...it's in New York and it's tomorrow..yes, I'm upset about that too...but if you can get there...it's apparently worth it and here's the flyer.
