We’ve found the perfect summer accessory that’s affordable and way chic. The Knaughty Summer by Cleeo Collection jewelry are hand-crocheted black nylon and silk bracelets with matte black seed beads, vintage clear rhinestone, sterling silver clasps, charms and more (prices range from $30 to $40).
Costa Mesa-based designer Lori Epner says she draws inspiration for the bracelets from her girlfriends (each bracelet is named after one) and that every woman has a little bit of naughtiness in them. The bracelets can be worn solo or paired with your own jewelry to make it more personal. The Cleeo Collection represents what is near and dear to Lori’s heart: her friends, family, fashion, vintage and classic glamour. Her one-of-a-kind pieces are often repurposed from rhinestone necklaces, oxidized chains, base metals, brooches and earrings.
