I knew this newsletter would be a doozy when I was like two items in and GASPED at the box for the hair pins.

I am obsessed with that cicada brooch. HOW. That man is a genius, I don’t often say that about men.

I'm SO glad you appreciated the hairpin box as much as I did!

And yeah, Wallace Chan is amazing. I mean, this butterfly? With the diamonds set underneath that incredible carved amethyst? AND it comes apart to be worn eight different ways? BANANAS: https://www.wallace-chan.com/artworks/categories/8/9387-the-waves-2017/
