The Stones jewelry collection is offering a new appreciation for precious stone accessories. By reinterpreting the traditional diamond necklaces and rings, the designers focus on good ol' rocks found on the streets to bring to light that value and luxury is mentally and emotionally attributed to objects.
Created by young jewelry designer Lital Mendel, the Stones jewelry collection is pretty basic. For the rings, Mendel has selected slightly more extravagant rocks that act as the only focal point, whereas her necklaces rely not only on the rock but also the interesting chain and shimmery, gold coating.
To Mendel, her Stones jewelry collection shows that "There is no need to beautify things – the stones are perfect just the way they are. Every stone is unique, a one-of-a-kind; to me, that’s what makes it a real diamond."
