Designer Bella Milbank has taken the raw and organic shapes that surround us in nature and reinterpreted them to create a stunning collection of jewelry. Pieces from the Verté collection, under her new label Bel & Skar, were mostly adapted from plant and bone structures which have been cut, reshaped and modified into abstract motifs that are edgy and unexpectedly elegant. One of my favorite pieces is the Starburst necklace, which is made up of black pearls and forms models after a snake’s vertebrae.
