Love LetterYour pieces are fabulous: trendy, quirky, priced right.  Where do you come up with the designs? 

When I purchase new materials for the line, I usually lay every piece out in front of me and just start putting pieces together to see what works and what doesn’t.  Sometimes, I have dreams about a specific design and I immediately wake up and start putting it together.

You take mundane everyday objects and turn them into great focal points on your pieces.  Do you come up with the concepts first, or do you see something and then come up with the idea for a piece? 

Most of the time, I am so inspired when I come across random or vintage treasures, my mind will start envisioning a million ideas and then I can’t stop creating new pieces.

I think your layered necklaces and bracelets are my favorite.  Do you have a favorite, or a piece that for one reason or another is more special than the others?

Most recently I have been wearing my "Love Letter" necklace.  There’s a hidden note that says, “I Love You”, when you open it.  So, it feels like my little secret. I am wearing my "Winged Secret" necklace for my girl’s night out.

What items seem to be popular amongst Leviticus fans?

The favorites are: "Cut Up", "Love Letter", "Elegant Balloon", "Cops and Robbers" and "Hello Lover"

What jewelry trends are you into right now?

I love that jewelry makes for a great statement piece.  My favorite trend right now is longer chains and over sized pendants.

Q&A with Tara Levitin of Leviticus Jewelry

What is it about jewelry that seems to bring out our inner rock star?  Not all of us may be all that rock-n-roll in the way we dress, we may not even listen to it, but somehow we can layer chains, bracelets, and rings just fine.  I'm convinced that's why I've come to love Leviticus Jewelry and designer Tara Levitin so much.  Her pieces seem to be a cross between rock goddess and 18th century wild west sheriff, and amazingly, they work well together.  Grant it, those of you only opting to wear the most delicate of pieces, might find it a little hard to don the Dramatic Digit necklace but rest assured, there's something for everyone (try the equally unique, but a little less bold, Chain Chain Chained).
