Kyle Chan at the California Gift Show

Every 6 months, I make the hour drive to LA to experience a cash-and-carry shopping extravaganza like no other. I save up considerably for this event, knowing that I’m sure to find oodles of fun and on-trend jewelry to get me through the next 6 months. I must admit that the booth I’ve come to look forward to stopping by the most is Kyle Chan Design. I’ve been following his work for a couple of years now and just find the most beautiful intricacy in his work. Each piece feels so thought-out and special, and I’ve amassed a little collection of necklaces, bracelets, and rings that I hold very dear. One of these days, I’ll save up for one of his diamond and gemstone rings, but until then, here is a sneak peak at some of the goods that were being offered at the show..

My favorites from this set would have to be the amber teardrop pendant (second in from the right), the stardust necklace (one more over from the right) and that adorable little gold penguin charm!

I would seriously wear every one of these, and just rotate them to go with my outfit for the day. They’re gorgeous! Thus far, I only have a bright green chrysoprase version, but I have my eye on the one in the middle here, with the gold pyrite and labradorite beads intermixed.

OBSESSED with this extra-long mixed tourmaline necklace. I can see it worn so many ways, like over a basic white tee, with a colorful dress or skirt, over a neutral-colored sweater… The possibilities are endless.

I adore all of these brilliantly simple gold charm pendants. I currently own the octopus, the bumblebee, and a tiny heart. I’ve been eyeing the hummingbird and, of course, the penguin! 

On my wishlist currently is this stunner… It’s rose gold and morganite (and diamonds, of course), and goes for around $3,350. Definitely an investment piece!

Myself with the designer, Kyle Chan.

Soon to be posted are my buys from the show!
