From USA Weekend, July 4, 2010:
I love the Fox series Bones. Where does the show get the jewelry worn by the character Bones?
Marta Sturgis, Redford, Mich.Two Los Angeles designers are the primary sources for the jewelry worn by Emily Deschanel's character, Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan, on the crime drama, Bones costume designer Cynthia Summers tells us. Most of the jewelry is from Aklia Chinn of Aklia (aklias.com)....
The myriad films and television shows where Aklia's creations have been featured are too numerous to list. "Party of Five", "Living Single", "Ned and Stacey", and "A Different World" are just a few.
Queen Latifah, Debra Messing, Spike Lee, Cree Summer, Lisa Bonet, Mathew St Patrick, and Lenny Kravitz, have all been happy, loyal clients of Aklia's Jewelry line.
