Emotionally Available: Alison Lou Jewelry

You’ve got to be more than a little curious about a line when its designer uses the words banal and intimate in the same sentence when describing her inaugural collection. Meet Alison Lou Jewelry, a collection of emoticon inspired expressions translated and tweaked into fine jewelry manifestos for the pop culture crew.

Embracing the voice of a generation, designer Alison Chemla became emotionally involved in emoticons with how they can effortlessly exude a feeling, an emotion, or a sentiment so many different ways to so many different people.

Sure to make you laugh, sure to make you relate, the line has something for everyone and then some. Chemla has emotional welfare, or perhaps emotional warfare in mind when screwing around with her sassy imagination which ultimately offers her customers a playing field of: word, symbol and emoticon punches in rings, stud earrings, pendant necklaces and of course, tech accessories (insert smiley face).
