NorCal style exudes California cool—and for a good reason too, with the temperatures dipping as soon as the sun goes down (not to mention the fog and rain) a seasonless layered look is always in style. Given the popularity of buying and reselling clothing at amazing vintage boutiques, it’s not surprising that many local looks are built around at least one retro item. Whether it’s a perfectly preserved concert tee or a cognac leather trench from the 70s, women from Northern California know that one-of-a-kind vintage finds are a great way to express their individual style.
Jewelry with natural elements, including wood and druzy stones, speak to NorCal’s laid-back aesthetic.
The Kris Nations owl crescent necklace ($70) is crafted of recycled 14k gold overlay for a look that’s eco-chic.
Christine Darren updates the basic hoop design with these charcoal druzy-detailed hoops ($150) of gold vermeil.
The Claudia Labao goldtone druzy and wood ring ($198) shines with earthy textures for an unexpected touch.
The stretchy Gigi Chic hippie crystal bracelets ($135) combine sandalwood beads with luxe Swarovski crystals for a striking contrast. Stack up a few of these crystal-detailed bracelets against the wood beaded Mali Sabatasso wraparound bracelet ($79) to complete the look.
The K. Amato golden leaf ring ($30) and golden square ring ($30) are crafted of shaped wood (that remains lightweight) with 18k gold-plate accents.
