Each week Gem features one standout piece from a local shop. Whether it’s a jacket, necklace, or handbag, it’s on our have-to-have list.
What: When it comes to spring break accessories, we look for pieces that are casual and more adventurous than our everyday bric-a-brac.
That’s why we’re drawn to Clutch Jewelry‘s Tasman charm, a metallic version of the two-faced tiki that represents anger and pain — which naturally we equated to vacation sunburns and the fact that we cannot forever inhabit distant paradisaical ‘scapes. To each her own tan lines, right?
Where: Clutch Jewelry’s online shop
When news happens, Phoenix New Times is there —
Your support strengthens our coverage.
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If New Times matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
Cost: The charm is $160 in sterling silver, and shoppers can pick the color of the leather cord — red, green, yellow, brown, or black.
Style It: In addition to packing a fat, fat bottle of SPF 40 to ensure that you won’t resemble the tiki’s howling-in-pain side on that econo flight back from vacay, bring along a romper, like Haute Hippie‘s silk python-print onesie, for lounging, plus metallic sandals from Madewell, and some light reading in the form of a Kate Spade clutch. (We understand the importance of being earnest as well as the importance of appearing too busy reading to care about the nudists/awful people/woo! girls a few lounge chairs down the row).
Should you actually want to tackle some reading while sunbathing (you overachiever, you), Illesteva Frieda‘s round-frame clear cream acetate sunglasses would come in handy.
