I'm coveting a pair of earrings from Molly M Designs' new "layers" line—to add to my collection of Molly M earrings which already includes Branch 3, Gingko 2, and Web 2...

Whenever possible, Bay Area-based designer (and professionally trained architect) Molly McGrath makes her laser-cut jewelry (and art) from sustainable materials (like bamboo, veneer from responsibly farmed sources, and recycled suede and felt). I adore her use of organically textured and colored materials with such bold and playful shapes. The overlapping patterns of this layers collection is particularly dynamic—and eye catching.
