Meet Anna SheffieldJewelry
designer, Anna Sheffield, hails from New Mexico where natural environs
and a deep respect for traditional Native American metalwork would lay
the foundation for her future. Having lived in both Saudi Arabia and
San Francisco, she landed in New York in 2002 and founded her haute
costume jewelry line Bing Bang. Her design aesthetic is a culmination
of New York's many influences and her divergent interests in art,
culture and collected relics of bygone eras.
Sheffield
mingles contemporary devices like layered chains with the charm of
curious objects and antiquities. Her collections reflect a departure
from the traditional devices of jewelry design that are evident in the
hand-hewn aesthetic, innovative design, and emphasis on detail. Every
piece embodies Sheffield's unique, personal style; chic and
individualistic, edgy yet feminine.
A
favorite of fashion insiders, Sheffield has collaborated with design
luminaries Marc Jacobs and Phillip Lim. Celebrity fans of Anna
Sheffield include Cameron Diaz, Julianne Moore, Mandy Moore, Uma
Thurman and Whitney Port. In addition, Sheffield was one of three
nominees for the 2007 Swarovski CFDA Award for Accessory Design and has
collaborated with brands including Cole Haan, Target, and Urban
Outfitters. Her collection of modern keepsakes continues to expand, all
crafted in her downtown atelier.
