Marquis & Camus was started by recent Parsons School of Design alum Sarah Kang.  She loves to mix old with new by incorporating found and vintage pieces into her modern pieces.  The jewelry really says it all, so here are some images of some of the fabulous pieces that are currently on sale at ideeli.  I would get them fast because I think this line is going to be too hot to get in the future…

Jewelry Discovery: Marquis & Camus on Sale

Their work is a combination of cutting-edge style, blended with vintage materials.  Their necklaces all seem to have a sense of humor as well as tons of impact.

Want to see what I mean?  Check out some of the jewelry titles…

“Chivalry” – with the added tag line “chivalry is not dead”:

Raw brass and silver plated chains draped from a beautiful raw brass filigree on one side and attached to detailed raw brass shield and a silver-plated dagger on the other side with side lobster clasp closure.

“International Metal“:

Mixed metal foreign coins hung from multiple oxidized raw brass chains with lobster clasp closure.

“Harold Hughes”

Antique medal dated “1931″ suspended from a gunmetal chain hanging from multiple gunmetal chains and a sterling silver plated thick chain with lobster clasp closure.  You can also get a different name placed in the medal as well.

This is however, the necklace to wear when you want to wear something that makes a statement and makes you feel fabulous!

Ranjana Khan’s multi-chain necklace is created using dozens of strands of fine brass chains, in fact – there are so many strands that I can’t count them all from this photo.  I can’t help thinking that the necklace looks like it would feel great to wear too
