Ashley Pittman Collection Gold Necklace

The Ashley Pittman Collection reinterprets the power and simplicity expressed in the shapes and textures of centuries-old African jewelry. 

The collection features natural horn carved by a women’s cooperative, fair-trade semi-precious gemstones, bronze and other materials indigenous to East Africa. 

Ashley Pittman donates 10% of all profits to help fund the operation of a health center and school in rural Kenya in an area particularly hard hit by prolonged drought.

One of my favorite pieces in this collection is the simple gold chain Ashley Pittman created to go with her bangles and horns. This piece can be worn with a simple white button up shirt, leggings, and riding boots or a black dress and heels. It is a simple piece that can go from casual every day to a great function in the evening. I can see it with a great Rick Owens leather motorcycle jacket with my favorite rag & bone motorcycle boots and a floral skirt. 

The necklace is available at Bergdorf Goodman for $300. Her Spring 2011 Collection is arriving in stores in the next few weeks.
