Answer the siren song of Kimberly Baker's new jewelry
The Seattle designer's latest creations, including pendants, bracelets and necklaces, take a cue from the sea

Seattle jewelry maker Kimberly Baker draws inspiration for her gold and silver designs from the life of her seafaring fiancé (a fisherman), and her new collection is no exception.
Bold, nautical-themed pieces swashbuckle the line between punk rock and pirate chic. The "Tamara" sailing-ship pendant hangs at the end of a chunky cable chain with a tusk clasp and comes in sterling silver ($215), silver with gold-vermeil rivets ($300), and 18-karat gold vermeil ($395).
The "Victoria" bracelet, a winged heart that could double as a medal of honor (or dishonor?) for Captain Jack Sparrow, has a flat beveled chain and a tough-girl aesthetic ($225 in silver, $400 in gold vermeil).
A pair of seahorses with an anchor on a cable chain, the "Sally" necklace ($415 gold, $230 silver) lends a treasures-of-the-deep aesthetic to a day on the yacht or a night at the sushi bar.
Baker's designs are available at her Fremont shop, online and at boutiques around town, such as Olivine and Sway and Cake.
