E-shaw's Accent! on Wednesdays: Out of the Woods

Out of the Woods

Vinca

Woodland creatures come to life on wooden necklaces and acrylic rings in the latest jewelry collection by Vinca. Although Vinca has been geared toward tweens, teens and adults, designer Amanda Dimova decided to separate the range and spin off an official children's line, miniVinca, which is set to launch at ENK in March 2012. MiniVinca is inspired by Dimova's two little girls, who, she says, "never tire of getting new jewelry." A fan of modern whimsy, she laughs at the fact that she's lived by the motto, "When in doubt, use a bunny." The collection includes baubles steeped in nature, like glitzy bird earrings, silver squirrel hair clips, wooden rabbit necklaces and neon bear rings. Chains and clasps are made of silk, sterling silver and 14-karat gold-filled metal. All designs are made in the U.S. and range in price from $2.75-$18.
