gild

These delicate cobwebs of silver are spun from the mind designer Sophie Teppema and handmade in her Amsterdam workshop for her line Gild Atelier.   I actually don't know which I like more, the intricate pieces of body jewelry themselves or these quiet grainy photos that showcase them.  It's all so beautiful, in a meditative sort of way.

If ever there was a time to wear these little treasures, I think it would be right now, at the height of summer's heat.  On the days when minimalist dressing is the only way to survive, it seems like the perfect way to add a little extra touch of beauty without weighing you down or heating you up.  And what could be sexier than a delicate chain against summer skin?

More beauty from Gild...

I want one.  Or two...
