Mesh Mash
MESH MASH
Summer is here. You want to show some skin...but not be gaudy.
Mesh done right is slick and stylish. And punk rock. And mysterious.
Be a rebel. Embrace mesh.

Denim Redux
Denim Redux
Denim is a mainstay…but have some fun with it.. do more than blue jeans...do something different… and wear it beyond 10 days in July.
Go street with safety pins and graffiti, glam it up with sequins, go dishabille with strategic tears, or do a denim + pearls mash up. It is all fabulous. Never boring.
If you are going to do it…do it differently in denim. This is denim redux.
Go Street.
Embrace your inner bad gal with safety pins and graffiti.
This style lets you express yourself and your opinions without uttering a word.
Wear out for brunch. Everyone will look up from their mimosas and talk.
Glam.
Glamour. There can never be enough glamour in the world...Pass on your black leather biker and grab a sequined denim jacket instead.

Dishabille.
French for "undone," and this means rips, holes, and tears galore. Elegantly wasted.
@vogue.com + @katehewko
Pearls.
Always be a lady. So why not mesh this ladylike classic with the workhorse of your wardrobe? Opposites attract. And denim + pearls will attract exactly the right kind of attention.

Launch Party
The latest Jewelry collection “Structured + Raw” debut, drew a lively crowd to the official opening of Bamboo Ballroom on September 17, 2015; a posh little clothing boutique featuring local designers in Inglewood. Bex Vintage homeware stylishly donned the shop; providing a classic warmth and ambience to the evening. The Calgary Bamboo Ballroom boutique opened it’s doors early July 2015, in Inglewood Calgary, and we decided to partner up to put on a party. Not only does the Bamboo Ballroom feature fashions from local Edmonton and Calgary designers, it also carries a wide range of established brands, and much more.
We’ve been known to describe our design vision as “earthy, edgy, and raw” and the 2015 STRUCTURED + RAW collection definitely explores these themes further.

Festival Style Essentials
The summer festival season has started and it's time to stock up on trendy bohemian outfits and striking accessories. Everywhere you look, shopping malls and online stores are bursting at the seams with festival fashion essentials. Look out for transitional pieces that would look great when you're basking in the sunshine with friends and dancing with strangers under the stars. With so much on offer you need to be selective. You want to make sure you've chosen the right pieces to channel your inner goddess and stand out in the crowd.I love festival fashion. Every event is an eclectic mix of past, present and future trends. You can't help but admire the ultra-stylish looks mixed in with the totally outlandish. Anything goes as you long as you sing along to your favorite band and party as if there's no tomorrow.
Get the look right and you'll not only impress your friends or the select few who you see every year reigning supreme as the queens of fashion on the field. If you make the right choices you could easily end up in the pages of a magazine or in an online gallery of who wore it best. If you want to get noticed then you need to be irresistibly fashionable and you have to exude a cool festival presence.
As I flick through this season's style magazines, I can imagine several pieces from my natural stone jewelry collection perfectly complementing this year's biggest trends at the festivals. Imagine yourself in a pair of denim cut-off shorts with a black crochet top over a halter neck bikini, singing at the top of your lungs as you sit on your boyfriend's shoulders. You have metallic gold face paint dotted across your forehead and you're swaying to the music with one hand in the air pointing to the sky. On your middle finger is the Candace Ring. Everyone can see it clearly as the afternoon sun hits the blue/black tourmaline. The colors in this striking raw stone flicker and steal the attention of the other dancers surrounding you. Tourmaline has the power to protect you from negative energy. Those who wear the Candace Ring will always feel grounded and shielded from harmful forces.
My Erica Necklace in Smokey Quartz, Lapis Lazuli or Clear Quartz would look so cool vertically perched between the lapels of a tan suede fringe jacket. The deep organic stone, polished to perfection, and the long silver plated brass chain would perfectly complement a white cropped t-shirt underneath the soft suede. You could complete the look with a pair of black or caramel-colored harem pants. This chakra stone has been known to bring the wearer good luck. It will guard you against jealousy and always fill you with serenity.If you're like me and you prefer casual chic rather than cheap and cheerful fancy dress then you'll love the Stalactite Statement Cuff - it's the perfect accessory. This slice of Brazilian amethyst stalactite on a silver plated adjustable cuff bracelet is a real showpiece. Look deeply into the stone and you can't help but admire its beauty. It looks great worn with a white bandeau top when the sun starts to sizzle or a short silk kimono with three-quarter length sleeves as the evening approaches.
This is the perfect contemporary piece if you want to look dressed down but at the same time cool, fashionable and ultrachic. Festival style is dictated by the fact that you absolutely have to stand out in the crowd and express your individuality. Make sure you're looking fantastic when those fashion photographers are roaming around searching for the best looks. Choose your accessories carefully. You'll instantly grab people's attention and attract admiration if you take it up a notch and wear striking jewelry and creative pieces.
You can't go wrong when you're wearing the Candace Ring, the Erica Necklace or the Stalactite Statement Cuff. The Kate Hewko jewelry collection has been designed to ensure you truly make your mark. I'm certain you'll feel super special adorned with any piece from my collection whenever you're partying with your friends at your favorite festival!

Jewelry for All Occasions
Have you ever wondered why some women always look so effortlessly stylish? The secret lies in the details and choosing the right accessories. Beautiful and eye-catching jewelry not only tells a story, it can also inspire you and redefine you as a unique individual. The right necklace, an alluring pair of earrings, a big ring, or a charming bracelet can also give you confidence, make you look and feel happier, and attract the right attention.
The Kate Hewko collection has been designed to complement you and your lifestyle as the natural stones and precious metals create harmonious vibrations. These healing gems can provide peaceful and positive energies in your life. Each piece is sublimely raw and appealing. You'll feel truly special every time you receive a compliment because this natural jewelry really does stand out in a crowd.
The beauty of the Kate Hewko collection is that it's designed to be chic and contemporary but it's also timeless. Every piece is versatile enough to be worn with a basic t-shirt and jeans on the weekend, throughout the week in a business suit at work, or to a black tie event in a ball gown. Accentuate your look with a few pieces from the Kate Hewko collection and mix and match them throughout the day to suit the right occasion.
Let me introduce the Paris Necklace. It's one of our signature pieces featuring a large agate stone, making it a true fashion statement. Its concentric layers are set against a double chain of silver plated solid brass or plain solid brass. This is the only natural stone in the world to feature such beautiful and artistic stripes. Imagine yourself in a strapless summer dress with this stone set just below your heart. True style queens will even wear this striking necklace to offset their bikini! Some say the agate stone will protect you from danger and it will give you courage. Please let me know if you're feeling braver when you wear this piece. I'd love to hear your stories.
Take a look at this amethyst Brazilian druzy quartz double finger ring. We've called it the Kate Ring. This quartz has been formed over millions of years. The glittering effect is thanks to a combination of tiny crystals on top of a colorful mineral. The metaphysical properties of this ring will give you energy and uplift you. The amethyst color really complements a monochrome black, white or navy outfit. I'm sure you'll feel empowered and ready to take on everything and everyone at work if you wear it with a suit or a cap sleeve dress during the day. At night, the soft lighting will pick up the sparkle of the quartz and the 24kt gold-plated finish. At the same time, the cool double ring effect will draw every pair of eyes towards you.
If you work in fashion or if you just love looking ultra-fashionable all day long, you'll adore the Brett Earrings. You can customize these earrings to get the color that suits you the best or you can get all the styles and wear a different pair of Brett Earrings throughout the week. If you've been flicking through fashion magazines lately, you'll know this style of earrings with a double chain is really cool right now. If you're a fan of the boho and vintage styles then these earrings are exactly what you need to match the stylish clothes in your wardrobe.

We have lovingly created each piece in the Kate Hewko collection for you to cherish and enjoy. We want to make sure you feel gorgeous no matter where you are or what you're doing.
