Pause Perfection: The Comma Pendant Necklace

GeekSugar — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 04:30:17 PDT

Everyone knows how much I enjoy making geeky jewelry discoveries - especially when they are as geek chic as this silver comma pendant necklace. Designed by Chao-Hsien Kuo and manufactured by Chao & Eero Jewel - sadly, I could only track it down on European territory - this comma is a part of a collection entitled "SIGNS." What's neat about this is the fact that the entire collection was inspired by the email and mobile phone messages - how rad is that?! Handmade in Finland, I'll be sure to let everyone know when they are US bound, or when Tiffany decides to make a knock off!

Trendspotting: Not-So-Classic Oxford Collars

With all this recent talk about the oxford comma, we thought we'd shine some light on another very important oxford: the oxford collar. We saw the menswear-inspired look in the Spring and Resort collections at Louis Vuitton, Carven and Jason Wu, as well as on some supremely styled celebs - Rose Byrne paired her polka-dot collared shirt with slim-fitting black pants and pumps for a movie screening, while Jamie Chung stepped out at Sundance in a cool leopard pullover over a collared shirt and colored jeans. Finally, Fearne Cotton walked the streets of London in a laid-back chambray tunic-style top with black leggings and a cozy knit coat. She also put a hipster-cool spin on the trend by adding a necklace on top of her tee - an unexpected look that adds a sweet bit of edge. Get prepped by shopping our oxford collar picks below now.

Currently Coveting: The Johansson Dresser

I'm a huge fan of walnut and bright colors, so it's only natural that I'm majorly attracted to this gorgeous Johansson Dresser from Khouri Guzman Bunce Limited.
The piece is made from a thin skin of lacquered aluminum, which encases a dresser constructed of walnut burl exteriors and solid walnut interiors. Each drawer features handmade glides and milled copper pulls. Bright pops of color contrast gorgeously with the rich walnut burl. While the dresser is shown here in both fire engine red and kelly green, you can specify individual finish color and custom size when ordering the dresser.

Khouri Guzman Bunce Limited is made up of David Khouri and Roberto Guzma of design firm Comma, as well as Christiaan Bunce of Girth Design. The three are now the driving force behind KGB Limited, and their new line of handcrafted American furniture can be seen at KGB Limited's new showroom in Chelsea's Gallery District.

Mixing modern design with timeless craftsmanship, KGB Limited uses materials ranging from Pyrex to fumed white oak. If you're in the area, make sure to stop by in person, or peruse all of KGB Limited's gorgeous designs online.
