James Jean Launches Fine Jewelry


Prada Fairy Bag

As I was flipping through the September Issue of ELLE Magazine, I came across a captivating article about legendary artist, James Jean. You may not remember his name, but I'm certain you'll recall the gorgeous Prada Fairy Bags that featured his enchanting murals. He is known for masterfully blending whimsy with mystery and darkness.    

After being commissioned by one of the most esteemed designers in the world, it's only fitting that Jean would continue transforming his breathtaking work into wearable art. Hence, the upcoming debut of his fine jewelry line, OVM. The collection showcases various graphic elements, from mermaid tears to mesmerizing butterflies.     

My favorite piece is the Gravity Necklace from his Drip series. Described as a glittering graffiti of gore, it appears to cascade from the collar bone. The handcrafted design is cast in sterling silver and features six diamond accents. Purchase directly from OVM for $2000.
