Bare Necessity

From cluttered charms to layered tusks to big shiny cuff bracelets, recently in many ways jewelry has become the main event. Done tastefully, these accessories can be fabulous. Still, too many loud pieces can be death to an outfit and detract from the wearer’s own charisma. Designer Jeet Kaur Rodriguez Sohal understands that jewelry should compliment the wearer and let a woman’s personality and beauty shine bright. Her decorative designs, appropriately dubbed Bare Collection, reflect that pared down philosophy and aesthetic. Stand out 14-karat gold pieces—incorporating materials from shark teeth to pearls to white coral and petrified wood and basic shapes like circles, pentagons and squares—are on display at boutiques, but the jeweler’s custom business is equally significant. Both design styles have brought her creations to the forefront, donning the necks, wrists and fingers of everyone from Nicole Ritchie to Beyonce, not to mention Mischa Barton and Alyssa Milano on their shows The O.C. and Charmed. $100 and up, Des Kohan, 671 Cloverdale, (323) 857-0200, barecollection.com
