Oh, Gemma Redux…just when I thought I was over all of those beautiful tangled chains, you had to update your look…and once again, I’m utterly in love. Designer Rachel Dooley (a fellow ex-Esq.) is sheer genius when it comes to setting trends instead of following them. I hardly know where to start.

I actually gasped…out loud…when I saw that last piece. (I think my husband thought I’d injured myself while web-surfing. Now he just thinks I’m crazy.) Smitten doesn’t even begin to cover it. All of these, really, are fantastic not only for their design and beauty, but for the endless versatility. I’d absolutely love to pair any of these with a dress, of course, but imagine wearing one of them with a simple cream cashmere sweater and a slim trouser, or even a straight-leg denim. Unbelievable. And, really, not entirely prohibitive…all of these pieces are under $500, which astounds me.

Check out all of Rachel’s gorgeous creations over at Gemma Redux, and just try to escape without a gasp. I dare you.
