Shop our guides to Sorel winter boots, Marni under $100, and Selena Gomez’s tribal sweater.

Her look is feminine and classic, without looking outdated, so her Delicate Raymond Leaf Shell Earrings ($90) go well with her signature appearance. We like how the multiple gold chains are dainty, while the ivory shell leaves almost give it an whimsy feel. Pair these with a floral cocktail dress to keep things sophisticated, or add them to a casual look to dress things up.

The artist, Heidi Gardner, modeling her designs.

We sat down with Heidi to discuss what its like to design for the Queen of Pop. “It’s an honor,” Heidi told us. “Just to get on Madonna’s radar, and to hear that she requested this specific piece that has my name on the mouth – I was like ‘you’re kidding me.’ Major.”

So how does one get the attention of an artist who has, pretty much, seen it all? For starters, Heidi finds beauty in places that aren’t already ‘tapped out’ by other jewelry designers. During our meeting, I couldn’t keep my eyes off one of her new designs: a 14K gold and purple diamond cast of the female pelvis.

“All of my pieces are an homage to the naked skeletal form,” she says while examining the pelvis. “I love animals, human anatomy and animal anatomy.” She even sites old German lithographs and Grey’s Anatomy as some of her design inspirations.

The gold skull ring Karen Elson wore in September’s W.

Her attention to detail is what also sets her apart from other designers. Her signature pieces, cast mostly in silver and brass, receive several rounds of hand-crafting: from black rhodium or gold finishing, to the clever use of gemstones — like rubies for eyes, black diamond nostrils and moonstones for brains.

Before jewelry, Heidi was always sketching and painting skulls and little creatures. She even has a name and complete bio for each of her beloved characters. “Günther is a prehistoric hummingbird skull ring,” she tells me. “He is as sexy as he is dangerous.”  A vivid imagination is another thing she and Madonna seem to have in common.

nOir Jewelry designer Leeora Catalan, who recently teamed up with L.A.M.B. to produce a line of necklaces, rings, and bracelets, says she and the Stefani are of “the same tribe,” meaning, we can only hope, that nOir and L.A.M.B.’s collabo will bring us more of the out-there, statement-making accessories we’ve come to expect from our favorite red-lipped singer. The goods:

Based on the images that have been released thus far, it looks like the designers’ collaboration has produced just that: A huge bib necklace encrusted in red stones is the “crown jewel” of the line, and the standout spikes and tribal influences are scattered throughout the collection. Our favorite? The spiky collar necklace, sure to toughen up even the frilliest frock.

L.A.M.B. for nOir is slated for release at the end of February, and will be sold at select department stores and on nOirjewelry.com.
