Strength & Unity

In the fast paced world we live in, its hard to slow down and appreciate our surroundings without life chipping away at us. But with travels planned and marked in our calendar, we find that we are forced to be logged off from any sort of social media and really absorb our environment, surroundings, interactions and more importantly be mindful. On our recent trip to Sri Lanka, we were simply awed by the way of life. The raw imagery displayed by the people and even the earth itself touched us deeply.   A country once torn by war, still standing strong. People displaced and relocated, still standing strong. Women on the streets pledging sisterhood and voicing their pain, yet still standing strong....

Drippn' in Gold

Although introduced in our Summer Time Fine collection, our Drippn' Gold Wire Oval Hoops is one of our most versatile piece to date.   A simple addition of CZ stones to these thin, wired hoops has transformed a simple hoop to something more.

The commonality found amongst these pieces is the color gold. The significance of gold...

Depending on where you would like to wear your silk scarf there are a few things to keep in mind: 1.

What is a statement piece?

For years we have used clothing and jewelry as a way of conveying something about ourselves. Whether it be the color of a shirt, the size of the necklace, the pattern in your pants -- they all say something about the wearer which is then assumed by the viewer. Statement jewelry is unique and bold. We decide to wear a piece consciously because we want it to say something. By consciously deciding what statement to make, we hope that these statements are then communicated to the viewer. Here at By Banu Co. we want statement jewelry to be more than communicated. We want this piece of jewelry to be something you hold dear to your heart, something that encourages you and...
