"    Photo: Geraldine Baron    Denver-born, New York-based designer Rammy Lee Park&amp;#039;s industrial chic jewelry line Wanderluster is not for wallflowers. &amp;quot;I launched Wanderluster in 2011, with a few goals in mind,&amp;quot; said the self-taught Park, who has an MFA in film and a BA in English from Columbia University. &amp;quot;I wanted to create unusual yet elegant statement pieces at a reasonable price point, and I wanted to limit the production quantity of each style so that once it&amp;#039;s gone, it&amp;#039;s gone. For me, costume jewelry should make you stand out in precisely the way you want it to, that&amp;#039;s why it&amp;#039;s called costume. And if everybody is wearing the same costume, where&amp;#039;s the fun in that? The original goal was to somehow bridge together original, affordable and exclusive.&amp;quot;   She&amp;#039;s done just that with a collection that is modern, architectural, and elegant. The overall line finds inspiration in travel and adventure (hence the name Wanderluster) and each season is based on a different locale. For her early collections, Park looked to the organic geometry, harsh sunlight and hard angles of Death Valley in pieces such as the Amaranth I necklace, which features double rose gold and silver plated strands that can be worn three different ways, sparkly Smoketree Crystal earrings with glass crystal stones that recall sunlight glinting off rock, or Rock Daisy molded resin earrings that take a cue from the salt flats of Death Valley.  Spring 2013&amp;#039;s Istiklal Istanbul range features colorful clusters of stones and playful floral silhouettes, while Fall 2013&amp;#039;s Iceland-inspired outing includes icicle-like Snowgrass earrings in cool shades of blue and silver, Alpine Pearl silver bar rings with mint and ruby crystal details, and Park&amp;#039;s signature bar-and-chain necklaces, which can be easily converted to a multi-strand, day-to-night look. &amp;quot;Many of my basic components\u2014necklace clasps, earring backs\u2014are all custom made,&amp;quot; Parks said when asked what makes Wanderluster different from all the other jewelry lines out there. &amp;quot;Our signature bar clasp, for instance, you won&amp;#039;t see anywhere else. Another really exciting element about the brand is its versatility. Many pieces are designed to be two or even three different looks in one. You can even build on pieces you bought in past collections, layering them all on one bar clasp, or stacking rings from different seasons together.&amp;quot; Look for a Pacific Coast Highway-inspired collection next season (following the designer&amp;#039;s recent drive up California&amp;#039;s picturesque coast), and a soon-to-be-unveiled collaboration with a major fashion retailer. Wanderluster retails from $35 to $265 and can be found at American Two Shot, Condor, Space 519, Urban Outfitters, and online at wanderlusternewyork.com.
