  "yes, they are antlers on my neck and ears,
done by Dandi Maestre, an amazing designer"

“I see my pieces as artwork, where there isn’t anything too outrageous.” Dandi Maestre

Rated an accessories genius and A-list by fashion magazines,
Colombian-born, Toronto-based Dandi Maestre is a visionary.
Her large-scale works -- cuffs, rings, necklaces and earrings --
are crafted from organic materials such as antlers, bull horn, rough amber and emeralds, reclaimed wood, natural seeds and nuts, elements found on shores, in rivers, jungles and forests.
