WHAT WE THOUGHT: Pamela Love designs jewelry for girls like herself. That is, stylish rock 'n' rollers who know how to wear a bird-claw earring or chunky spiked cuff bracelet. Plenty of the type, along with their male cohorts, attended the designer's spring jewelry presentation, and they were right at home in the noirish atmosphere designed to feel like a vampire's lair. Setting the mood was a backdrop resembling a charred bonfire, layers of Turkish rugs underfoot, and thrumming live ambient music. Models wore tattered black dresses and stacks of cuffs, necklaces, and rings inspired by ancient Egypt, religious ritual, astronomy, tarot, the zodiac, magic, spiritual energy, alchemy... well, you get the idea.
Standout pieces included the wide bronze and silver disc bangles stacked concentrically on the wrist, chunky sculptural plate necklaces hanging from delicate chains around the models' necks, and mile-high spike rings. The designer's signature talon cuffs and serpent rings are more practical -- and must-have staples for cool girls everywhere.
