Rue Gembon
(See featured image)
A girl can never have too many rings and this is a philosophy that jewelry brand Rue Gembon preaches wholeheartedly. Their charming sets of rings are a stellar addition to any ring stack, and a great way to vamp up any look to make it edgy and contemporary. We particularly love the combination of knuckle rings and a traditional ring. Rue Gembon’s ring sets featuring these items comes with adjustable open ends so you can place them anywhere, on any finger. The mix and match look has never been so easy to achieve.

The Boyscouts
These designs are super exciting as they combine contemporary aesthetics with elegance, delicacy, and heritage. The looks from this Dutch company are influenced by both the harsh beauty of nature and the unpredictability of the urban landscape. We particularly love that the collection is made from fair trade gold, making them a brand that is as ethical as they are edgy. A piece of stunning metal from them would be great to accessorize a simple outfit which would make for a smart, chic, and edgy look.

Vibe Harsløf
This Denmark designer creates extremely clever and playful designs that just don’t make sense until you see them on yourself. Her classically Scandinavian geometric shapes frame the body in new and exciting ways, heavily influenced by gritty subcultures that are always ahead of the trend. We particularly love her lace pieces, a range of metallic structures to glam up a pair of trainers or boots. Simple yet innovative.
