Sydney Evan debuts a new collection of pieces inspired by travel

- LAURIE BROOKINS

WANDERLUST NEVER fails to inspire Rosanne Karmes, a notion abundantly clear with her latest collections. The founder and designer of L.A.-based jewelry label Sydney Evan, Karmes has built something of a cult following among fans of her beaded bracelets and wide-ranging selection of charms and pendants. Starting with a horseshoe motif with pavé diamonds when she launched her brand in 2001 (Sydney Evan is named for her two children), Karmes has since created a vast array of themes focused on luck, spirituality, the stars, love-and that's just for starters.
