Bees Knees : Dust Jewelry

Dust is a jewelry line inspired by fairy tale personas, wood nymphs, sea creatures, the macabre, curiosities, mourning jewelry, bones, antique treasures, the 1920’s and 30’s, and mysterious mood changes. 
Each one of a kind piece is always meticulously handmade at the Dust Studio located in Echo Park, CA. Here are a few of our favorite pieces from the Dust Collections:

Taste Wonderland has been a devoted fan to Dust Jewelry and its creator for some time now. Dust is like nothing we've seen before and is only getting better with time. With an upcoming spot in the Levi's Spring 2010 Ad Campaign, appearances in Lucky and Foam Magazine and acceptance into the UNIQUE LA event Dust is surpassing the norm.
