Ladies of the COSMIC Club: the Rings of Legge & Braine

.

 Rose Medusa by Legge & Braine

I noticed it in an instant-dancing on Lisa Fine's hand-a big beautiful sphere- catching the light-catching my eye. Occasionally Lisa would tap it on the table-I would look again. I was even-I might say-fixated on that ring. The creator of said ring sat across from me with a translucent porcelain complexion sipping on a whiskey sour wrapped in make-up colors-Charlotte di Carcaci of Legge & Braine.

Legge and Braine is the brand of Charlotte-the"Legge" and Kate Braine. Their collection of rings-hand blown Murano glass- are big & baubly- eye catchers-but substantive.

after our meeting last month-I sent Charlotte a note & jotted down some questions for her-

Your favorite Legge & Braine Ring?

Charlotte: My favourite ring changes with the seasons but the Emerald Green Medusa which was one of our first designs is a perennial favourite. The colour is so strong it bites the eye
