Ach Ach Liebling


Ach Ach Liebling (http://achachliebling.com) is a one woman independent jewelry company based in San Francisco that I recently discovered through a fashion blog. Ach Ach Liebling is German for “Oh Oh Darling!” According to the designer Joanna Petrone, “it’s an expression of spontaneous delight and tender feelings evoked by something small and unexpectedly beautiful.” Petrone further describes that, “the name Ach Ach Liebling was inspired by a sweet song by the crazy-good European techno-pop-y band, Stereo Total, who in turn translated the lyrics from a French song from the '60s.” I love the totally unique and affordable vintage inspired pieces, which feature motifs from nature, books, and old postcards and movies. One of my favorite pieces is the pair of earrings above that are named Robot vs. Computer. I also love several of the necklaces, particularly the dog and nautical themed ones, and the Gypsy Owl earrings.
