Modern Friendship Necklaces

The second I saw these kicked up modern friendship necklaces on HonestlyWTF I knew I had to make them for a few ladies in my life. The first batch included eight, although there are a few more waiting to be made and sent on their happy ways. Each one used colors that matched my friends individual personalities and styles, so much fun. Easy too, I think each one took me less than two hours to make. Here are a few of the unknowing models…


Clockwise: Duhmericana, Old Sweet Song, Crow and Canary, Design Milk

Can’t wait to make a few of these Hex Nut Bracelets and Woven Chain Bracelets, too!

Raw

 

 

 

I don’t know what it says about me, but I’ve been incredibly drawn to the imperfect lately. The tarnished, the ragged, the rough-around-the-edges in life. For me Jessica Ricci’s Raw collection falls into that lovely category. Her rings looks so much like hard candy that I’d be hard pressed not to pop one into my mouth. (Her collection of keys is also exceptional.)

Fashion Box

 

I love classic fashion almost as much as I love a good coffee table book. Pair them up and meet Fashion Box by Antonio Mancinelli. Over 479 pages of drop-dead gorgeous photography covering sixteen essential wardrobe items, from the miniskirt to the little black dress, and the women who made the pieces iconic. Just consider it your textbook on Fashion History 101.

Signet Stardust Rings

I have small hands, so while I appreciate chunky cocktail rings my day to day jewelry consists of more delicate pieces. Pieces like Andrea Bonelli’s Signet Stardust Rings. I love the hammered stardust points that take these rings above and beyond with some extra sparkle. All of Andrea’s jewelry is made from recycled metals and ethically mined gems, so not only can you look fantastic but feel great about doing so. (I’m also crazy about this bracelet!)

Rain or Shiny Umbrella


I’ve been looking for the perfect bubble umbrella these last few months. I once even bought one, only to take it home and find out it was broken. I like the little extra something this one brings to the table with it’s coppery raindrops.

mociun

Every piece in mociun’s jewelry collection is incredible. But then you notice that one little thing that makes you realize how much conceptual thinking went into it all. Like the necklace with the intentionally missing stone in the setting. Or the diamond earrings that have a silver diamond cut stone instead of a rock. Smart. Smart. Smart.
