Unearthen
Among the shamanic creations of Pamela Love and the chic phantasmagoria of Delfina Delettrez, the pendants by Gia Bahm - a bit rougher than the others but nevertheless not without a certain mystique - should be able to find their place in the fashionista's jewelry box without too much difficulty.

As an underground jeweler whose work could easily find their place in a curiosity shop, New Yorker Bahm's creations immediately attract attention. There are no skulls, no creatures frozen in silver or figurines in ceramic echoing ancient legends; at Unearthen, the references to white magic are found more in the materials used than in the design of the pieces.
Unlike Pamela Love and her fossilized eagle talons, Bahm prefers to focus on the supposed power of crystals to bring her clients a touch of style and peace.
Above all a self proclaimed collector, ascetic and designer, Bahm selects her crystals based on their presumed benefits, then inserts them into old bullet casings.

And if the message surrounding these unusual and fascinating jewels is a bit too New Age to be taken seriously, this does not make the pieces themselves any less unique and desirable.
Other than the crystals' possible placebo effect on the psyche, the Unearthen pendants bring a tangible touch of soul to our ensembles, from the simple casual look to the new Russian doll silhouettes that are all the craze this season.
Prices for pendants go from 150 euros to 360 euros
