WORDS BY FASHION JOURNAL
Unisex jewellery made without the gender binary in mind.
It’s true – most jewellery is genderless by design. With no darts, seams or stitches placed to fit the body, the majority of pieces can be worn by all, but recently we’ve seen the rise of specifically unisex or genderfluid jewellery.
