Au Natural

Couldn't choose my top pick, so here's a little Smorgasbord of my fav necklaces from Nallik. The designs are made of natural materials including semi-precious stones, found objects, and metals.

Learn Your ABC's

Why not sport your initials? This weekend, I just nabbed a letter necklace from Kris Nations. I am embarrassed to say, that I also wear a "n" earring stud as well ... Maybe, I've gone a little overboard. Above is a little sample of jewelry designers who make some awesome letter pendants.

Pinpoint

Things have been kinda crazed the past few weeks, so unfortunately, I have neglected to post any new jewelry finds.

A month or so back, a friend asked if I knew of any designers creating brooches. I went on a search and found the brooch or "pin" has sadly descended into extinction. My grandmother's coats and sweaters were always adorned with a beautiful or whimsical brooch, but nowadays, you rarely see people donning them. However, I did just come across this bronzed lotus brooch by St. Erasmus. What appealed about this one is its amorphous shape and materials. It looks like molten rock at first glance or meshed stones. The pin is actually acrylic flowers covered in crochet and topped with Swarovski crystals.

Sky Scrapers

A little architectural influence ... these earrings are named after famous New York skyscrapers, Chrysler and Empire State.

Arrow heads

This pair of earrings look like something that has been excavated from an archeological dig.

Wrap it Up

I tend to not be a huge fan of leather wrap bracelets, but this silver mirrored one caught my eye .... it's a little mod, and a touch of space age glam.

Redefining the Necklace

This necklace-meets-scarf from Saako Design is the perfect way to dress up a basic tank or tee. Plus, love that they are made locally in Barcelona.
