Hot-on-the-Scene Designer LUV AJ

Here at Jewelry Dose, we keep our expertly outfitted earlobes close to the ground to bring you the best in fashion news and jewelry from the hottest up-and-coming designers. Our newest addition (and obsession, natch) is Luv AJ, this “badass” jewelry line from Los Angeles-based (and super young!) designer Amanda Thomas. We love a good success story, and Thomas’s is just that. By 16, this gem genius was already selling her signature heavy-metal spikes and chains at Fred Segal. Now, celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Whitney Port and Nicole Richie are clamoring to get their wrists, fingers, ears, necklines and hands on them. The line now incorporates some more feminine edges, which we’re more than ok with. Seriously, though, you’re going to want to do some major stocking up on her stuff. Below, click through the slideshow to view the collection of spiked must-have pieces from the Luv AJ line. Shop Luv AJ’s collection.
