I'm still enjoying the mixed media wave. Yes, sometimes I think people get a little carried away with mixing up materials that don't always make for a fashionable and functional piece of jewelry, but there are designers out there that seem to be able to handle the mixed media trend. Take, for example, the Vitra collection from Sepia, which includes a mixture of glass, metal, and even suede. Way cool, and these are pieces you can imagine actually wear comfortably.

The company works to support and promote Latin American designers, though it has a show room (pictured) located in Minneapolis, MN:

Sepia is a fashion company. Our mission is to bring the latest fashion trends from Latin America supporting emerging artists.

We want to offer the best and latest Latin American designers' styles in a wide range of price points and make them accessible to the women of America . Specifically, we support those young artists that prefer to incorporate alternative materials and colors in their pieces, reflecting the latest fashion tendencies.

This bracelet has a glass cab in the middle with a suede strap.




Then there are lots of fused glass earrings to pick from too, as well as rings.
