“There’s a relationship between the satisfaction of purchasing jewelry for yourself and the high you get from having chocolate. It’s luxurious and gratifying.”
Philadelphia-based designer Anthony Lent has teamed up with a chocolatier to create gourmet chocolates that mimic his sculptural jewelry.
Lent’s “Kiss me” ring and “Moonface” motifs are the first to be candied by Francisco Migoya of Hudson Chocolates in Poughkeepsie, N.Y.

Lent’s 18-karat gold necklace from the Anatomy collection rests on its chocolate counterpart, which is 6 inches long.
