She get mad? Get MADEBy Candice Chan
In the (likely?) event that you forgot yesterday was, you know, that big romantic day, then be your own savior and invite your lady friend out on Sunday, February 17th for a night at Poleng Lounge. In all their glam and glory, the designers of MADE Jewelry – Debbie Sheen and Abigail Rivamonte – will be debuting their handmade feminine designs at a reduced price for all the event’s attendees.
Zeebos will save you!
With two lines of earrings (AM and PM) and a separate necklace line (Wrap), there’s likely to be at least one dangly item, if not many, that appeal to women who are constantly on the go. Each of the pieces has their own unique story – like the PM line’s Zeebos; a striped sequined homage to women who have paid their dues, earned their stripes and worked their way to the top – and are meant to represent the journeys of the ladies who don them.
As law students in the midst of preparing for the bar, Debbie and Abigail are no strangers to the plight of go-getter girls longing for reasonably priced style, and jewelry that won’t give their ears unhappy allergic reactions. After years of designing their own pieces, these two now scour the streets and Internet to find various charms, beads, and unique gems to pair with either sterling silver, gold filled, or gold vermeil wire to create pieces that help women feel classy and elegant even in spite of their rough and tumble lives. With all of the jewelry set around $20-$50, everything is accessible, even to students with limited budgets.
The line itself has great potential to grow as long as these two continue to follow jewelry trends and stick with their clean designs. My hope is that they will get a tad more experimental with thicker wire and more jewels. In the meantime, I’m rocking my beaded gold hoop earrings, and looking forward to holding myself back from the treasures that Poleng holds. Plus, there’s more to go for than just bling. Get your groove on as the night promises to be a spanking good time, with DJ Yusai and DJ Frantik spinning among others.
