‘With Debra Messing and Beyonce as fans, jewelry makers Ken Leung and Dana Chin seem to have struck gold, metaphorically, that is. Their label, B-Side, appeases both frugalistas and snobs admirably with a freeform, contemporary appeal.
The collection is inspired by the cultural revolution of the 1980s in NYC, specifically the emerging hip-hop movement and graffiti as an art form. The brand’s cheekiness is readily apparent – prices of certain pieces reflect penal law codes that banned graffiti, so you really do get what you pay for.’
‘RIGHTS’ is a collection of items that uses landmark U.S. Civil Rights Supreme Court case identifiers as its voice.
The pieces of this collection feature a prominent U.S. civil rights case number. The ‘Loving Day Bangle’ features the supreme court case number for Loving v. Virgina which legalized interracial marriage.
The silver two finger ring shown above features case number 347 U.S. 483 1954: Brown v. Board of Education which desegregates schools.
