Earrings used to be my thing. I’m not sure at what point over the last couple of years I stopped investing any attention to adorning my ear lobs but I do know that these in-your-face Givenchy disk number are bringing earrings back – for me – in a huge way.

Jewelry doesn’t get any bolder, stronger and in-your-face than the avant-garde pieces by Giuliana Mancinelli Bonafaccia. The young Italian jewelry designer who studied architecture and home design incorporates her sculptural point of view to her edgy hand-crafted collection.
