With its handmade jewelry, Faris knows how to make a statement without being too over-the-top. Each piece has a unique character of its own but doesn’t bedazzle to such an extent to distract from its wearer. With sleek lines and metallic tones, the bold and irregular jewelry crafted by the Seattle-based company complements nearly any ensemble and allows the wearer to play with a multitude of looks. With the Onda collection, Faris uses large rocky pendants which are contrasted elegantly with bronze materials in the CLOUD necklace and FLOAT ring.
Ultra-chic owner and designer of the brand, Faris du Graf, finds the beauty in creating pieces made to last with minimal materials. Faris du Graf also toys with proportions, resulting in a modernist and versatile look that has garnered her much attention over the years.
Other favorites include her futuristic DISC HOOP earrings and artfully warped choker necklaces. Each of Faris’ series has its own aesthetic appeal while simultaneously complementing each other, with clear cut lines and bold geometric shapes in the Primary collection to the more whimsical and soft Keshi pieces.
