Los Angeles-based jewelry designer Gabriela Artigas has come a long way since her 2003 debut, when she crafted an entire collection from—wait for it—toothbrushes. Her fans now include Björk, Cameron Diaz, and Salma Hayek, and there are waiting lists for her custom-order creations, which are available exclusively at Des Kohan. Artigas’ latest pieces came about thanks to her surprise discovery of a trove of vintage gold-plated bows made by a former accessory manufacturer for Chanel, which she came across while vacationing in Arizona last year. Accordingly, her 30-piece collection this season features bow-bedecked headbands, necklaces, and bracelets, all of which are teamed with chains crafted from oxidized sterling silver, copper, and 14-karat gold.
