The second Studio Series is Richard Chai x JewelMint, an exclusive collection by CFDA award winning designer Richard Chai. 

Richard Chai commented, "I loved collaborating with JewelMint. It was really interesting as I have never designed jewelry before, so it was a great learning experience overall and I'm thrilled with how the pieces turned out."

The RCxJM collection includes two necklaces, two bracelets, three rings and two pairs of earrings. All the pieces in the collection are priced at $29.99 with the exception of one necklace priced at $59.98. The limited edition capsule is available to JewelMint members as of October 9th, 2013, only at www.JewelMint.com.

Chai added, "For this collection I was really inspired by nature and wanted to design pieces that wrapped around fingers, wrists, and necks like branches, creating an organic yet graphic look. I liked the idea of showcasing a fine jewelry aesthetic, but in a more distressed way to give the collection an edgier, downtown feel."

BeachMint CEO Josh Berman stated, "We are extremely pleased to follow up the successful launch of JewelMint's Studio Series with Richard Chai. Bringing our members Richard's first ever jewelry designs at JewelMint's incredibly accessible price point is precisely the kind of benefit they have come to know and love."
