Ashley Pittman Horn Jewels: It’s Second Nature

No one does horn jewels better than Ashley Pittman. As earthy and true to nature as they are cosmopolitan and sophisticated, her pieces are made by a women’s cooperative in Kenya, with 10% of profits going to health care and education.

There is nothing like genuine horn; you can spot the plastic ones a mile away. They just don’t possess the depth and richness of the organic patterns. From the neutral bangles, set off like rays of light with gleaming gold embellishments, to the fresh take on the big, chunky bangle, unexpectedly set off with bold grommets. The chain necklace is an instant classic and has a subtler effect than heavy metal links. Shapely drop earrings get an extra pop of authenticity with the rustic addition of East African coins, making for a funky way to spice up your look. Simple and versatile, these tribal-inspired pieces are good for the soul and easy on the eyes.
