London-based lab-grown jewelry brand Lark & Berry launched a sub-brand by the name of Alondra that's focused on silver and 18k gold vermeil jewels that retail for $75 to $950. The debut collection from Alondra, Horizon, shares statement-making accessory pieces with chain-link details and "cultured" black spinels.
With this collection, the brand is appealing to "anyone that wants to have beautiful jewelry and sparkly diamonds and stones but isn't ready to splurge on a fine jewelry piece," according to founder Laura Chavez. Standout styles from the debut collection include ear cuffs and double-sided bracelets with an edgy twist.
This collection, and upcoming ones from the brand, are set to feature the same never-mined diamonds and stones from sister brand Lark & Berry.
