Every craft room in North America has witnessed the creation of some derivation of kitschy jewellery, so it’s refreshing to see Corrine Anestopoulos’s Biko refine the practice by focusing on edited designs with minute, quirky elements. The designer takes found objects—vintage optics, magnifying glasses, kaleidoscopes—and transforms them into functional pendant jewellery. We stumbled upon this working kaleidoscope necklace at Love of Mine, which we liked for the Logan’s Run colour blast and the reminder of a birthday party loot bag. The kaleidoscope necklace is available with a classic rolo-style chain that accommodates extra doodads, baubles and charms. No assembly required. $159.
