Best Bet: Winning Hand

After years of designing wallpaper, Carly Margolis turned her attention to jewelry and began producing a line of metal pieces, All for the Mountain. Each item in the collection, like the delicate Hand Chain, is carved by Margolis and then cast in bronze. A trademark pyramid shape ties the line together; in the Hand Chain, it connects the middle finger to the wrist with a thin but sturdy chain. We love that the look is more feminine and sexy than bondage-tough, making it wearable for a range of ages or style types.
