ADORABLE MAYHEM
TARA MAGBOO [2001, Illustration]
Based in San Diego, CA
Artist, Tara Magboo, created a line of jewelry made in San Diego called Adorable Mayhem. Each piece of jewelry is expertly crafted out of bronze or recycled, tarnish-resistant sterling silver or gold. All jewelry pieces are almost completely made by hand from the pendants to the clasps or earring wires. The work is inspired by toys from Tara’s childhood as well as Japanese popular culture. The subjects of much of the jewelry revolve around animals, desserts or plant forms and is designed to bring a little humor and joy to the wearer for many years to come.
