In the local spotlight!

I have a little mention in "The Goods", Philly Mags weekly scoop on shopping, beauty, travel, and home.

Good Morning, Philly Shoppers!
This week we wanted to share with you the fabulous jewelry designs of a local artist — one we’ve known since she owned a crafty Old City boutique. Check out Local Spotlight below to see what she’s doing now. We’ve also got a slideshow of some fashionable fall ensembles found on the sidewalks of Center City, and our latest batch of sales, deals, and events. Plus, there’s fall picks from our Style Squad.

LOCAL SPOTLIGHT: Typhaney B. Jewelry

The former owner of Old City’s Conspiracy Showroom is turning out designs we want to get our hands on

By Annie Monjar

South Philly jewelry designer Typhaney Shanker knows that when one door closes, it can kick open another — in her case, a thriving, homegrown enterprise that’s turning style-conscious heads across the city.

Since the February closing of Conspiracy Showroom, the Northern Liberties boutique that Shanker owned for three years with two other designers, the jewelry artist has been able to focus on expanding Typhaney B. Jewelry, her imaginative, bohemian collection of earrings, necklaces, and rings. She’s developed a website for the line and started showcasing her hammered brass hoops and howlite necklaces in trunk shows, galleries, and boutiques across the region. “I didn’t want to compete with myself when I had the store, so I never sold anywhere else,” she laughs.

Working from her home studio, Shanker combines natural and vintage materials to create quirky, whimsical pieces, like a copper chain necklace featuring a leather pendant and hand-selected sea shells. Her pieces can dress up an office cardigan or compliment an evening cocktail dress, and with earrings and necklaces starting at $25, Shanker backs up accessory style with sensibility. 

You can find Typhaney B. Jewelry at the Three Sirens Boutique, or in Rittenhouse’s Square Peg Artery & Salvage.  Be sure to check out the (new) website, too, at typhaneyb.com.
