Every so often I head over to LA to visit my BFF and fellow fashionipster, Jess and her crew of lovely friends.  Jess and co. all work in fashion, live in Echo Park/ Silver Lake, *AKA Williamsburg of the West with slightly more attractive people* live the life, and pretty much party like its 1999 every day of the week.  Good mother-effing times. During my last visit I realized everyone was wearing these really rad necklaces. They were very different and kind of unusual.  Not one person had the same one on – you can tell they were all made by the same designer, but they were all a little bit different. I had to have one – I was obsessed.

Well come to find out, these necklaces were made by the one and only, artist Tyler Durtschi under his new jewelry venture, DΔRK + DΔWN. Tyler is a babe and one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met.  His jewelry line is sick and is going to be the new hot shit.  GUARANTEED.  DΔRK+DΔWN’s style is so simple yet so amazing, each piece combines geometric shapes delicately juxtaposed with different, stylized textures and patterns.  Each piece is made personally by Tyler with heart and soul.

His site and line just officially launched for public consumption yesterday so get it while it’s HOT.  His price list has not been release yet, if you are interested in purchasing a piece please email him directly for a custom quote: info@darkanddawn.com

Here are two of my faves from his 2010 collection:
