The Okapiknits jewelry collection is one part crafty, one part bold and entirely stylish. Although each piece in the Okapiknits collection happens to be craftily created out of yarn and thread, the crochet and knit look has been modernized in such a way that a girl's grandmother will not know what to think when laying eyes on them.
Based in Paris, France, the Okapiknits collection is available internationally through the fashion designer's Etsy shop. Although the Okapiknits jewelry is what will really capture people's attention, the Okapiknits collection includes clothing items as well. The designer behind Okapiknits reveals, "I love to create new shapes using new techniques." This is evident in the intricate designs she births. From tattered necklaces to more regal collars, the Okapiknits collection is rife with different designs.
