Keerstin Wintrup


Keerstin Wintrup's
braided leather bracelets and belts are designed extra long for wrapping and wearing in multiple ways and are made unique with a gilded snake head and tail, both ends of which are beautifully detailed. "I'm intrigued by vintage art-deco style jewelry, enamel pieces, and anything really intricate," she says.

Wintrup designs and constructs all of her accessories locally out of her Los Angeles studio. "I hand braid and assemble each piece," she says. "But I do have to thank the guy that hand-carved the snake hardware…he did three or more carvings before it was perfect."

Keerstin was kind enough to send some of her treasures my way and I'm pretty in love. The bracelet is one of those accessories you want to wear everyday either alone or layered with all your other gems. Plus, it's a conversation starter. Thank you Keerstin! xoxo

bracelet, $134, and belt, $162, both available in Los Angeles at Creatures of Comfort, 7971 Melrose Avenue; 323-655-7855.
