With its drama and decadence, fledgling local jewellery line Claudia Accessories (claudiaaccessories.com) is having a breakout year, selling in stores like L.A.’s Jennifer Kaufman. “My style isn’t too sweet, and it isn’t too hard either,” says creator Claudia Grundman. “If I use a heavy rocker chain, I soften it up with crystals. For the summer, I mixed a lot of beads, pearls and silver with semi-precious stones, like blue quartz, amazonite and purple jade.” Her chains are plated with 18-karat gold, and most pieces feature crystals from Swarovski’s home department, which lend an eye-catching edge. From $80, at Betty’s Bazaar (218 St-Paul St. W., 514-285-2212), Lola & Emily (3475 St-Laurent Blvd., 514-288-7598, lolaandemily.com) and others.
