A Space Boy Dream

Although the inspiration for Sabrina Dehoff's whimsical jewelry ranges from ghosts to Lotus Eaters to residents of the moon, she knows how to translate all of it into wearable art. The Berlin-based designer's work is unique, employing materials like leather and plastic along with gold and silver. The ideas behind the pieces are conceptual and poetic, and Dehoff presents the jewelry equally as beautifully with amazing catalogue shots, thus making it both avant-garde and accessible. Her work ranges from cute (pure white hearts and a tasteful Mickey Mouse necklace) to sexy (gold serpents and slinky black panthers on gold chains) to fanciful (gold cutouts of gems) to tough (handgun necklaces and bracelets featuring cowboys) and everything in between. And though her jewelry and inspirations are varied, Dehoff executes her designs with a degree of sleekness and charm that makes her work distinct. For more info, see her website.
