She is Dorkas

Meet Marianna Dorkas Jamadi. She has got to be most of the most beautiful and talented girls I know - photographer, stylist, crafter, and the list goes on. I recently met her through a mutual friend, and small world, turns out we actually went to the same college! It's crazy to think that we're both from southern California, yet we didn't meet until we moved to New York.

I want to introduce you to her latest project - love, Dorkas. It's a collection of jewelry made in collaboration with her boyfriend, Armando Rafael, another photographer and creative mind. Inspired tribal adornments and cultural traditions, they call it "modern jewelry for the ancient soul".
