Ohhh Yes! More to Desire

We’ve been carrying Portland designer Lauren Harkness’s luscious Desire Rings for some time now and already knew this lady knows how to make one bodacious bauble. But with the new line of necklaces she just brought us, we’ve completely lost our marbles (and silly Pushkin is chasing them all over the darn floor!). Her combinations of raw silk, semi-precious gems and chain are a mixed-media party, a melting pot of sweet and savory elements that feel like they were always meant to be together, like chocolate-covered potato chips or when really rockin’ bands used to go on MTV Unplugged and perform so tenderly we’d all cry like little girls. Lauren is a former Seattleite who now works out of Portland, and she’s one of those artists who is always one step ahead of what’s going to turn heads. These gorgeous, tactile pieces look equally amazing layered over a simple cotton t-shirt as they do accenting a silky evening dress. No matter what, they’re a statement no one can ignore!
