The Bite Magazine - Spring/Summer 2021 - Issue 29

bitejewellery was made into a mould and thus, produced the Stiletto Stud. The cheeky, sexy and elegant Bite Me Stud has a matching pendant in silver, gold-plated, 9-carat yellow gold with a choice of pearls or not, and a ring in the three metals. Hand- made by Chloe herself, the first sample was a combination of hand carving wax and hand-drawn technical sketches that showed the design from every angle. These were combined to create the 3D CAD design, which was then printed and cast into the silver prototype. Finally, it was hand polished and finished with the authentic DFG touch. Hold My Spectacles Necklace is ideal if you do not want to wear your glasses all the time and need somewhere to put them, or you’re worried they will slip off your collar and be lost forever. It has a matching Magnet Bracelet in bronze, sil- ver, gold-plated, and 9-carat yellow gold from the hair salon Anne Veck collaboration, a bangle with hairpins, and clips on the magnet, between the cuff lips. The creative process for both these pieces is the same as the Bite Me Stud with hand carving, sketching and 3D CAD design. The solid silver chain and hand-beaded freshwater Lingerie Jewel Harness can be worn as a harness or necklace for any occasion. “Choose your colour preference, how many chains and which stones, etc., for a one-of-a-kind item you can wear in the bedroom, over a dress, a shirt, or as a necklace.” Channel your ‘90s inner queen with the black lava beaded Kazangan Choker available with a pearl skull or fist. “Feel like the ‘90s icon JenniferAniston and set the trends for others to follow!” I like the bracelets, such as the Elastic Cuff with lips and teeth around the band. “Ever worn a hairband on your wrist and find it has effectively cut off circulation to the extremity, you fear you might lose your hand?” DFG asks. The DFG and Anne Veck collaboration present a stylishly simply yet frivolously function solution with the Elastic Cuff, which has a unique groove running along it to hold hair bands and make sure you keep all your bits where they are meant to be. The Breakout Convertible Mini Chain can be worn as an extension to the trouser/necklace chain or as a standalone bracelet. It is 22 cm long, with a large silver barbed wire piece and a medallion engraved with DFG and CC logos. The Breakout collection is a collaboration between fashion designer Charli Cohen and Dirty French Girl inspired by the eating disorder recovery, a subject through which the two designers met. 10% of the profits from each piece sold are donated to the BEAT Eating Disorder charity. Shibari is the beautiful Japanese art of being tied up. Dirty French Girl encourages you to show your love of the exotic and erotic with the discreet Shibari and Complex Shibari in- spired rings. The Complex Shibari Ring has matching hoops to complete the look. On the subject of breasts, the brand declares, “All bodies are beautiful and deserve to be celebrat- ed; imperfections are what makes us special.” The Wobbly Boobie Ring is hand carved in wax and available in any size and colour crystals for the nipple. Dirty French Girl also produces body chains, piercings, men’s jewellery, apparels and bespoke rings for weddings. All jewellery pieces are made to order with 6-8 weeks for delivery. https://dirtyfrenchgirl.com Images courtesy of POP PR
