Funky + Classic: JEMMA WYNNE


Stephanie Wynne, age 26, and Jenny Klatt, 24, know what young women want... fine jewelry, but not the jewels from your grandmother's box. The two young jewelry designers met while working together at Judith Ripka, and have recently broken away to start their own line, Jemma Wynne.  Sitting down with Steph and Jenny to view their collection was a treat because it was no different than discussing fashion with my closest girlfriends.  The two women have a tight bond while maintaining their own unique styles and this allows them to create jewelry that is both funky and classic.

Rich vibrant colors inspire their work and they often experiment by twisting classic shapes to create pieces that are fresh and fun.  The ring pictured was love at first sight!  It's whimsical nature and feminine design of 18k gold, Kunzite and diamonds leaves me daydreaming.  Jemma Wynne is a versatile line with something for everyone, whether it's stackable bangles, pendants, deco earrings, cocktail rings, or necklaces for layering.  Steph and Jenny suggest mixing and matching their pieces to create your own look.  Their cocktail rings are flirty and go well with a t-shirt and jeans during the day to a dress at night.  

When I asked the designers who they would like to see their jewelry on they said, Sarah Jessica Parker, Cameron Diaz, and Rachel Bilson just to name a few.  What do these celebs have in common with Jemma Wynne?  They are youthful, innovative and exude confident style.  Watch out for this designing duo, they will be your newest craving, and you will be dying to get your fingers in their rings as soon as they hit the stores.  

Jemma Wynne's Must Haves
1.  Amazing hoop earrings
2.  A large gemstone ring
3.  Bangles or a large cuff
