Keeping Mum
A fresh look for spring
April 13, 2008

Inspired on a trip to Thailand by women who made jewelry, Molly Kahn and Penny Sowles – friends who met in a Brookline dental practice where they both worked, though Kahn has since moved away – came home and conjured up designs of their own. Their necklaces for 2 Bella Blue ($242 at Beauty Mark) use semiprecious stones, including Amazonite, black onyx, and peridot, and are punctuated with an unexpected centerpiece: a shellacked chrysanthemum. Way to collar spring.
