Hometown pride with Maya Brenner Designs

Maya Brenner Designs may have been shot by the paparazzi more times than Katy Perry! The jewellery line, worn by countless celebrities like Eva Longoria, Penélope Cruz, and Cameron Diaz, is more popular than ever.  

The company was founded in 1998 by Californian native Maya Brenner. She started off with her classic and simple US state-shaped necklaces in 14-carat white gold and 14-carat yellow gold. However, they have come a long way since then – and are now dripping in diamonds! All the designs show a little hint of who you are, or where you come from.  

We know big statement pieces are in, but we’re really digging the initial necklace. With its barely-there chain and delicate, off-centere letter, it a pretty piece that can be worn everyday – not unlike a signature scent. Layer that with your other necklaces and you are good to go. 

For those who don’t live across the pond in America, Maya Brenner Designs offers an international necklace collection. It’s filled with country shapes that include England, Australia, Italy, France, Canada and more. If you are not into expressing where you come from, there is an amazing list of charm necklaces, rings, bracelets and earrings to choose from.

The designs are all delicate and simple, but pack so much punch you’ll want to own one for sure! They are also perfect for layering with other pieces. For more information, check out Maya’s website here, or follow her on Twitter @MayaBDesigns.
