Cross It Off

Nov 15, 2007 @ 12:32pm

Kimberly Baker EarringsCoco Chanel loved Maltese crosses so much that she wore cuff bracelets with the design almost every day.

We love the idea but really, cuff bracelets are a relic of a bygone era. Our wrists can’t be weighed down by chunky bracelets because it would interfere with our primary activity – typing.

Luckily, we found these amazing earrings from Seattle-based jewelry designer Kimberly Baker, so we can indulge our Maltese cross fetish without decreasing our words per minute.

The earrings have ten crosses joined together in a chain mail style. The result is a chandelier-style earring, but much tougher, which eliminates the precious feeling from the metal.

It may be impossible to wear cuffs like Coco, but now you can see her original Maltese Cross Cuffs - the ones she actually wore - on display at the Houston Museum of Natural Science, along with 83 other fabulous, iconic designs by her protege, Fulco di Verdura. Absolutely gorgeous!
