As the world’s economy worsens and the opulence of ‘bling’ becomes increasingly frowned upon as more eyes are opened to the human rights issues surrounding the mining of diamonds, jewellery has taken somewhat of a beating. Sterling Familia however offer an altogether more DIY approach with their unique brand of skater-punk jewellery which is designed by a collective of four individual designers each with a passion for tattoos, skating, sneakers, sub-cultures and kitschness. Having been spotted adorning the necks of the Kings of Leon, Lily Allen and Amy Winehouse, Sterling Familia have an instant rock n’roll gravitas that makes them one of the most sought after young jewellery labels around.
