There are many reasons to gift a woman jewelry.
None of them should just be I heard you like shiny things.
So with Valentine’s Day two weeks away, we respectfully suggest a more discerning rationale: i.e., I had this made just for you.
Introducing the AKJ 2013 Industrial Collection, a local line of beautiful custom gold jewelry — not to mention a valise’s worth of dramatic ready-to-wear pieces — available now.
Run by Amanda Keidan out of a breezy, sun-lit bungalow, AKJ has been worn by nearly every woman who’s ever been airbushed on a magazine cover, e.g., Mena Suvari, Jessica Alba, Sandra Bullock, and more.
Keidan’s pieces run the gamut, from 14k gold-link chains with pave diamonds, to hammered metal charms and silhouette rings.
You can shop Keidan’s work online — and get anything/everything delivered via FedEx — but the real move is an in-person appointment in downtown LA.
Because nothing shows you care more than I went downtown for this.
