CAN’T-MISS COLLECTION
Lust & Found
When Beth Bugdaycay yearned to make a more meaningful consumer product, she abandoned the popular Rebecca Taylor clothing line she cofounded in favor of making fine jewelry. Foundrae, her Victorian-inspired line of 18k gold jewelry with enamel and gemstones, features mystical and spiritual symbols that evoke notions of protection, strength, karma, and dreams. “I use symbols to express that we all have the ability to change and the capacity for growth,” she says.
