The Wonderful World of ByRogue

When I saw this ByRogue's rings, I fell instantly in love. The three finger rings are so dope and inspired by old hip hop and 80's style. They could not be more perfect if they tried. I had to stalk their creator Bee...

NIKKI: Tell me about your jewelry
BEE: The first collection is based on two and three finger rings, silver gold plated. I see it as statement jewelry for girls with fierce street style and definite undeniable, individual character. Its an intro to byrogue and the brand I want to develop to represent these girls.

NIKKI: What influences your pieces?
BEE: Early 80s music and style, hip hop, freestyle, graffiti, pimps, rappers Salt n Pepper, Big Daddy Kane, Gangstarr, Snoop, Biggie, the list goes on and on and on.....for me- three finger rings are the ultimate hip hop accessory!

NIKKI: Did you study jewelery making?
BEE: Yes, I took a course a few years ago in design, then when traveling in Bali, I was taught some real design tricks by the most incredible silversmith in Ubud. Rather than travel on, I spent months shadowing him watching him create the most beautiful pieces from silver by hand with astounding precision. It was a real education.
I try and base all my pieces on something that I would love to wear, that I would keep and treasure and hope my customers do too.
NIKKI: Where do you sell your pieces?
BEE: I sell online at www.byrogue.tv and soon coming to www.kabiri.co.uk

NIKKI: What are your plans for your range next?
BEE: The ideas for jewelry keep flowing I am constantly mocking up new samples and taking influences from everyday life. I'll still focus on two and three finger rings It will also include necklaces. I am slowly developing the concept of the next collection which I hope to deliver in August 2010.
I am also designing a range of headphones and will be buying in sunglasses for www.byrogue.tv
