We're nearing the end of our CFDA showcase, but, there's good news: we're going out with a (rose-cut) bang by featuring Australian-born, Brooklyn-based Scosha as we wind down. With a nomadic spirit and a love for both the raw and the refined, this designer's collection has all the perfect little things you didn't know you wanted, but you're now going to need. Her jewelry journey started when she was traveling the world and ended up in a storefront/workshop at 64 Grand Street in the Williamsburg neighborhood of New York City. Every piece is handcrafted in-house using ancient techniques for metalsmithing, stone setting and weaving techniques. What started as one small signature braided bracelet with a stone accent has now gone global: Scosha is sold in more than 125 select department and specialty stores, and the brand has collaborated with designers such as Ralph Lauren and Club Monaco. And, look, the jewelry is just really, really pretty. On to the images!

What does it mean to you to be a member of CFDA?
To be a part of a great community that can understand your vision, support your creativity, and that can also help with incredible resources, providing crucial information is priceless in this industry. I feel like I now have somewhere to turn when I’m in a bind or have a concern or question. I’m so stoked to be in this family of creatives!
