Needles introduces a new set of 70s-inspired jewelry for the Fall/Winter 2019 season, featuring a series of rings and necklaces. The designs arrive in silver and gold options and boast insignias that nod to the previous era -- this includes peace signs, smiley faces, and butterflies.
The collection is progressive but can be styled in a sense to nods to the retro aesthetics. One of the standout designs in the Papillon necklace as it highlights the signature NEEDLES butterfly logo that was inspired by Steve McQueen, hanging on a thin gold-plated chain. The wings on the butterfly pendant are intricately detailed with small carvings. The peace sign necklace is also a standout design as it is complete in an oxidized finish to add to the vintage design language.
