Mariko Carandang's Lockets are Fantastically Chic
Carly Foy — June 3, 2011 — Art & Design
Mariko Carandang of Etsy boutique Iluxo has created the ultimate wooden accessory with her wooden trinkets.
Delicate in execution, the boxes measure about 24 x 24 cubed. Each locket is handcrafted and composed of bamboo wood. The trinkets are laser-etched with detailing and comes on a gold or silver chain. Mariko Carandang also offers buyers the ability to design a custom design alongside with her. Mariko Carandang's Polaroid Camera treasure locket is one that has caught my eye.
Mariko Carandang has said of her designs that "The treasure locket is perfect for those of us who find and get attached to small objects that get lost in the bottom of a pocket or handbag, but don't quite fit in a wallet."
