McKry T. Owens is a Chicago-based jewelry showroom specializing in the representation of international designers. Several M.T.O. clients have been featured in prestigious fashion publications. Shannon Carney, whose necklace is featured on M.T.O. founder McKenzie Maher below, even earned a mention in American Vogue. One of my favorite pieces at M.T.O. was a fluorite and recycled wood ring by New Zealand artist Nga Waiata. Another client, Upper Metal Class, uses delicate angular metalwork to create their signature pieces. M.T.O. is the place to go if you are a boutique looking to carry classic jewelry with a unique twist.
I included this photo with the MODA Chicago review but you had to click through the jump to see it. Last night I was looking through my old posts and thought the picture of these Cynthia Rowley barrettes was too adorable not to highlight.
