Superhero jewelry has magic powers!

Filed under: Accessories

Some days you feel pretty and strong, and other days you need a little help. On those days, we recommend Superhero jewelry, necklaces that will:
  • protect you from harm
  • attract people to you, and
  • create magic in your life
Andrea, the designer of Superhero, creates the line in color families with upbeat and descriptive names like tropical, champagne, and joy. Each piece is a handmade mix of modern and vintage glass beads and vintage lucite beads, with sterling silver findings.

The variety in the beads makes every item unique, which is great for the gal who's not into having the same Tiffany's charm necklace as everyone else. We also love Superhero's beautiful and diverse models, who make the jewelry look that much more magical.

Check out the gallery and see for yourself how gorgeous these glowing glass necklaces are!

Jill Martinelli and Sabine Le Guyader are the Mass Art-trained designers behind this bone/wood/icon obsessed line of necklaces, bracelets, rings and wearable objects.
