Spotted: Organic Jewelry With a Creative Touch The story: While most of us size up jewelry by its look and style, designer Chloe Benjamin takes it one step further by striving to create pieces she feels tell a story. It's a fitting approach for the Madison-based designer who not only has her hands full crafting eye-catching jewelry, but is finishing a master's degree in fiction and working on a novel as well. The look: Reaching for smooth, stunning stones in a variety of or- ganic shades, Benjamin adds a hint of glint by pairing them with sleek gold and silver accents, creating an overall look that is elegant but earthy. How to wear it: As pieces that toe the line between structured and organic, Benjamin recommends pairing her jewelry, or simi- lar styles, with ensembles that do the same with natural fabrics in architectural cuts. Her one-of-a-kind (and custom if you ask!) jewelry can also serve as a quick way to add an edgy or playful boost to classic wardrobe staples like a feminine top or classic shift dress. Where to buy: Benjamin sells select items through local retail- ers such as (shoo), 109 State St., Madison; (608) 467-6325; and A Woman's Touch, 600 Williamson St., Madison; (608) 250-1928.
