ABOUT LYNDSAY SKEEGAN DESIGNS:

Lyndsay Skeegan Designs combines traditional elegant style with a contemporary edge.  The line is composed mostly of glass and freshwater pearl necklaces and bracelets, along with statement cocktail rings and earrings. The line is inspired both by the refined, sophisticated elegance of Irving Penn’s black and white photographs from the 1940s and 1950s as well as by pieces Lyndsay found in her grandmother’s jewelry box.  Each luxurious piece is individually handmade in New York City.  The line is carried at the Museum of Modern Art stores in New York City as well as the Harn Museum of Art in Florida.   It has been featured in many boutiques and many times on Fab.com.
