Lady Grey Jewelry’s teaming up with Rogan.
The Brooklyn-based brand, designed by Sabine LeGuyader and Jill Martinelli, is collaborating with the denim designer on an exclusive jewelry line.
Rogan’s never done jewelry, and the girls have never done denim, so we’re curious to see how they Rogan-ize their rings, bangles and necklaces. Or will there be Lady Grey hardware on Rogan’s clothes? And will we be seeing it at his Spring collection preview tonight?
Meanwhile, when we interviewed the girls back in July, they mentioned that they’re dying to be sold in Barneys. We know Julie Gilhart loves Rogan, and now Rogan loves Lady Grey, so, basically, good move girls.
Lady Grey’s Brooklyn studio is stacked high with metals, chemicals and found objects from an abandoned pantyhose factory on Brooklyn’s Dead Horse Bay.
Among the warped bottles and welding tools is a collection of works in progress, works past and various experiments in metal that looked scary to me and calming to them.
The designers, Sabine LeGuyader and Jill Martinelli, met at art school, had similar style and moved to New York two years ago to kick start their line. Since then, they’ve been featured in, among others, Nylon and Purple. Their jewelry’s sold at Curve, Earnest Sewn and a couple of London boutiques.
I swung by their studio last weekend to find out how two girls get their jewelry on Ashley Olsen’s arms and photographed by Jeurgen Teller and what it’s like to try and make it in a city where everyone’s trying to make it.

As obsessed as we are with the abundance of florals for spring, (honestly we’d wear that Balenciaga dress everyday if we didn’t have to actually move), we don’t know how well we’d pull it off.
So, we’re going to wear this branch necklace instead. It kind of echoes the trend without actually looking like everyone else, which is really the best way to wear a trend anyway.
The necklace is by Lady Grey Jewelry, a Brooklyn based line by designers Jill Martinelli and Sabine Le Guyader. The girls are both trained metal smiths who cast and construct everything by hand.
Some of their pieces are available online but if you’re in Manhattan you can see most of their collection at either Earnest Sewn store.
We plan on stacking some of their signature bone bangles around our arm, too.
