i first heard about chan luu about 4 years ago while working in a local boutique. i immediately fell in love with her signature wrap bracelets (see above pic) and the way she played with gold and silver.
chan came to the states in 1972 from vietnam. she attended boston u, where she received a business degree and then naturally made the move to LA to pursue her interests in design. she started with just jewelry but then in 2004 launched a RTW line which also took off.
i wanted to share some of my favorite pieces:
the first is a sterling silver textured heart on a brown irish waxed linen chain. i love how it looks so weathered and old! the next piece is sterling silver peace sign chain. it's 32" long! i actually have this piece, save for the fact that mine is crosses and not peace signs. i love the length and always get compliments on it :) the last necklace is my favorite! the cross is white bone filigree and the charms are sterling. again, i love how old it looks:)
there is a lot more to discover about chan luu! visit http://www.chanluu.com/ to see more of her amazing jewelry and clothing.
