Ben-Amun and the Anthropologists: A Romance



Isaac frequents flea markets, has a love of other eras, and tends to keep his imagination trained on far away locations. His mood board is as much a mix of found objects as it is an exploration of other cultures, and he is forever thinking of the woman he designs for. That woman, however, is not someone that he gets to keep to himself, because while we all want a monogamous muse, sometimes we have to share. It’s always best to share with friends though, and so it’s not with jealousy but with joy that Ben-Amun and Anthropologie design and curate, respectively, for the same woman.

Like Ben-Amun, Anthropologie seeks to please the woman who appreciates both artfulness and soulfulness and who treats her wardrobe as a place to escape into beauty. This woman wants to discover what charms her and she wants to be inspired by what she wears. Ben-Amun prides itself on creating jewelry that this woman not only wants to buy but to experience, and so it seemed fitting when Anthropologie started carrying one of our most transportive pieces.

Featured in Anthropologie’s July catalog, the Venetian Glass necklace, dubbed the “Mudmee Necklace” by Anthropologie after the Thai dye technique, appears to be both vintage and otherworldly. Styled by the brand for their most recent catalog, the necklace added an air of intrigue to an otherwise politely feminine look. Check out the picture below, or see the entire Anthropologie catalog here!

I know that sometimes one piece just isn't enough, so for those of you craving more from our upcoming collections, Anthropologie.com also offers Ben-Amun's Byzantine Kaleidoscope Earrings. Pictured below!
