Inherited Elegance It’s your greatest hope that your female descendants will inherit your wit, creativity, and ability to tie a cherry stem in a knot with your tongue. Unfortunately, the only material object you have to offer them is the rusted nameplate necklace from your Sex and the City / Carrie Bradshaw phase. Bypass the expected well worn strings of pearls and visit Anna Sheffield’s new website, home to all three of her collections: Bespoke, Fine Jewelry, and Bing Bang. Her affordable pieces are timeless : necklaces with dreamy blue topaz pendants punctuated by small diamonds, bold gold cuffs, and our favourite, the heart-piercing arrow two-finger ring.
