Custom Eco-Crystalline Jewelry by Shawn Pilgrim (Circa 2017)

In 2017, I was commissioned to create custom jewelry for an international feature in Period Magazine. Rather than just providing existing pieces, I was hired to design and handcraft specific necklaces that would anchor the visual narrative of this high-fashion editorial.

Collaborating with photographer Carrie Strong, I developed these pieces under my brand, Eco-Crystalline, ensuring they met the rigorous aesthetic standards required for a global publication. This commission was a defining moment in my career as a designer—it shifted my work from a private craft into a professional, commercial service. Being sought out by an editorial team to bring a high-concept vision to life confirmed that my work had a unique, professional appeal that translated perfectly into the world of elite fashion photography.
