Barneys New York On Location | Spinelli Kilcollin's LA Studio

Their proliferation within the Vogue offices has been called a “phenomenon.” We’re talking, of course, about Spinelli Kilcollin’s galaxy rings—stacked sets (each named for a constellation) of precious metal and delicate diamond pavé bands that can be piled up on one finger or worn across multiple. Slip one on and it’s clear why they’ve become the jewels du jour: A mix of textures and gauges means theses pieces are highly versatile—a perfectly modern mix of tough and tender. And then there’s the fun factor: Each ring is a bit like a Jacob’s Ladder, a supremely chic wearable diversion to be worn differently each day, or heck, each hour. The Window went on location to Los Angeles to meet Yves Spinelli, one half of the design duo behind the line, to learn all about his big bang moment.
