Carla Reiter's Cornetti Collar: Knitted silver, patinated natural copper nuggets and diamonds ($6,000).
Don’t be fooled by jewelry designer Carla Reiter’s one-of-a-kind pieces. Yes, they could be one with nature or on display at a museum but no doubt about it, they were made for the neck or wrist of a woman. The Chicago local lets improvisation and the movement of materials take her as she knits silver, gold and copper into pieces like a vine necklace of hand-knitted silver leaves and flowers or a bib set dressed with yellow sapphires. Whether worn to the movies or a black tie affair, each down-to-earth piece also finds a home in elegance. 847.328.3028, Carlareiter.com.
