4. Enamel Statement Pendant – Clare V.

Let’s talk about a cool founder story. The inspiration behind Clare V. came when founder Clare Vivier couldn’t find a chic laptop case that suited her style, prompting her to design her own. Since 2008, this brand has been handcrafting totes, clutches, backpacks, and other luxe accessories in Los Angeles. Each piece brings a pop of color and personality to outfits—and the Enamel Statement Pendant is no exception.
