Wear-and-Tear

This was loveage at first sight:

Sculptural triangular necklaces, US$92 each

wear-and-tear is a line of accessories designed by Cheung Lik, who studied Fashion Design at Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Upon graduation, she gained a wide range of experience in jewelry, costume, photography, art direction, web design and cultural exhibition. In 2006, she made her debut at the Paris Trade Fair and London Fashion Week, selling her accessories under the brand of Daydream Nation. In 2008 she launched wear-and-tear, which experiments with various materials from fabric to metals to create tactile handcrafted designs that are both modern and delicate.

On a sidenote, I've developed a newfound appreciation for accessories, which was apparent on the runways too - a lot of designers seemed to play it safe with their garments but go over-the-top with shoes, bags, belts, headpieces and jewelry. Why's that, I wonder?
