We're still waiting to purchase them all, but we've got some great inspiration to look forward to in for 2014.

New work from the amazingly talented Cédric Buchet.
I don't know if it's even possible to take a bad photograph of Guinevere van Seenus, but Cédric makes her look amazing for 10 Magazine's F/W 2012 issue.

And here they worked together again for M Magazine, 2012.

A simple but striking jewelry story.
