Discover sophistication at its finest on La Brea Avenue as Recess LA, housed in an iconic Art Deco building, introduces Marie Monsod’s premier jewelry capsule collection. Renowned for a decade as a vintage haven, Recess LA has evolved under the Los Angeles-native founder Marie Monsod, now embracing a new realm of expression through exquisite jewelry.
Monsod’s journey into fashion was spurred by a life-altering event, redirecting her from a legal career to immerse herself in the world of vintage curation. With a curated range of dresses, jackets, and pants catering to diverse age groups, Recess LA has become a fashion landmark. The boutique boasts a mix of unbranded gems and red-carpet stunners by renowned designers like Jean Paul Gaultier, Valentino, and Chanel.
Venturing beyond fashion, Monsod’s store also showcases an expanded collection of interior design pieces, resonating with her love for flamboyant mid-century and Hollywood regency styles.
Recognizing a void in the jewelry market, Monsod embarked on her earrings project two years ago, driven by a passion for transformative accessories. Collaborating with Esme Hecht, co-founder of Lunch at the Ritz and a seasoned designer, Monsod found a mentor who played a crucial role in crafting her vision into reality.
The result is a mesmerizing collection of earrings, each featuring oversized shapes—thunderbolts to geometric prisms—suspended from a signature dome base. Crafted from non-tarnish, hypoallergenic resin in Asia, these pieces are plated in 22K yellow gold and adorned with hand-laid Preciosa Czech crystals in vibrant hues of fuchsia and emerald.
Available exclusively at Recess LA, these statement earrings are priced between $225 and $295. Looking forward, Monsod envisions expanding her collections, including designs tailored for men and a chic line of box bags.
Elevate your style and embrace timeless elegance at Recess LA, where each piece tells a unique story of refined fashion. Explore Marie Monsod’s debut jewelry collection and make a statement that transcends time.
