At Taboo Studio in Mission Hills, Sandra Russell’s ‘Scribble Heart’ Rings Have Us Enamored
Rare is the piece that’s simultaneously sweet, nervy, and a little disorderly. These cocktail rings by Sandra Russell at Taboo Studio pull off the trifecta.
With prices starting at $150, the Scribble Heart rings are available in
silver (finishes range from ultra-polished to oxidized black and grey,
for that industrial kick) and 18-karat gold. Every heart is meticulously
coiled from fine wire by Russell herself, a local metalsmith and
jewelry designer.
“When I designed the rings, my baby was finally letting me get some
sleep and I found myself full of ideas,” says Russell, an S.D. native,
of the pieces’ genesis. “Valentine's Day was just around the corner, and
me being inspired by my wonderful husband and my daughter, I naturally
started sketching hearts in my jewelry.”
We, meanwhile, welcome anything that lets us straddle the sentimental/edgy divide.
