Urban Myths

On your desk are pictures of:
- James Franco
- that dream villa by the sea
- Chanel magnolia brooch

Think you can’t afford an ‘I Can Afford Designer’ accessory?  Think again.

Ümit Aybek‘s jewellery is full of pieces which are: a) timeless b) urban, and c) for those whose heart started beating faster with today’s news about the imminent launch of Matthew Williamson for H&M (from Apr., 23, since you ask).   

Catering to sensible recessionistas who, even if they have the money, like the contrast between designer jewellery and mass market clothes (and don’t want to flash the cash that quick); her designs are remarkably fresh yet have a sophisticated edge. 

Flowers like magnolia and lotus are often featured, as well as ancient mythology, the sky, and karmic talismans.         

Choose a ‘Wings’ silver necklace, a ‘Magnolia’ brooch with smoky quartz in the middle, or a ‘Tree of Life’ talisman.   

Now clean up yesterday’s pizza from your desk and add Ümit’s designs to your (Mom’s) wish list.
