I first met Amanda a few years ago at a trunk show she was doing at Hangr 16 boutique, formally located on 16th st. I remember seeing her and thinking she was some sort of rock goddess. I loved her jewelry, much of it sand-casted by hand, and her incredible personal style {her interview totally nails her influences to a T}. When I opened Crown Nine, Amanda was one of the first designers I wanted on board, I felt like Oakland women would really vibe what she is doing. She has a loyal following here, including probably one of her number one fans Erin D {who has become one of my favorite people!}.
I figured that EVA KOLENKO would really dig Amanda and her line VOCE KEEN. Eva's jewelry taste is definitely on the rock/ gritty/ pretty-masculine side {a girl after my own heart!}. Eva and I met up, drove out to San Francisco's Mission neighborhood to see Amanda's studio and talk shop. See Eva's photo tour {here} and shop Voce Keen stunning silver pyramid necklace {here}. Enjoy!
