Trend Watch: 2Bandits
Happy Trend Thursday! This week we want to focus on our latest pieces from jewelry designer 2Bandits! We have always loved their work, but we feel like they're about to blow up! 2Bandits was started by Tamar Wider and is heavily influenced by the American Southwest and North America. Tamar got her start in the jewelry business because she was obsessed with stones all her young life. After realizing that this was her passion, she went to school to become a gemologist, travelling to Ramat Gan in Israel & gathering more information and interest in jewelry. After becoming a gemologist and traveling around the world gathering inspiration, Tamar decided to go study jewelry design at FIT!
Tamar describes her pieces as rustic and refined and enjoys working with silver and unpolished brushed brass, as well as rough gemstones like moonstone, turquoise, opal, and amber. With a Texan background, 2Bandits is for the free-spirited girl who still loves a little glamour in her life...just like our VDV babes!
There is definitely a certain bohemian charm to each 2Bandits piece. They're amazing to layer with and go with absolutely everything while still remaining uniquely and classically 2Bandits. Along with boho babe charm, there's also a soft & romantic vintage vibe these pieces carry. So, these everyday staples are also unique & special! This is our kind of jewelry!
Happy Shopping!!
XOXO,
Alex
