The J.Crew x Paula Mendoza Jewelry Collaboration Delivers the Finishing Touches We All Need For Fall

When the fashion and art worlds collide, sometimes the result is something so far-fetched, so unrelatable that it is difficult to take seriously. But then there are times when unexpected pairings go very right to create a line that is universally beloved by the wider public across a range of aesthetics, lifestyles and price points. Case in point: the new collaboration from the illustrious Colombian jewelry designer and artist Paula Mendoza and J.Crew. The exclusive collection, launched today, brings together Mendoza’s reinterpretation of pre-Columbian art with J.Crew contemporary style.  Mendoza founded her eponymous line in 2003 and has been vastly celebrated for her signature pieces that take inspiration from her Colombian heritage. Her designs combine ethically-sourced gemstones and precious materials from Colombia into a symbolic and aesthetic storytelling of elegance. The label’s DNA also focuses closely on the significance of sustainability by giving back to the local artisans who hand-make every piece. While Beyoncé helped the brand rise to fame, the bold Colombian identity of her label has captivated the attention of many other A-listers, such as Sarah Jessica Parker, Alicia Keys, and Katy Perry. The 7-piece collection features a range of bracelets, rings, and earrings with a price point of $120-$215.
