What began as neckwear has since expanded into a full-fledged clothing line for the NYC-based brand Timo Weiland. But, thanks to a collaboration with Anna Sheffield (the designer behind Bing Bang) it looks as though the brainchild of Alan Eckstein and Timo Weiland will soon be adding jewelry design to the labels' repertoire.

Style.com says that they'll soon be expanding the collaboration into its own capsule collection.

Hey, remember that kid in high school who you were all like, "wow, they’re really going to be something someday?"

We’re not jealous though, cuz we totally have our own line coming out soon too.
