I’ve wanted a necklace with my name on it ever since the Carrie necklace on Sex and the City. But up until now there just hasn’t been one that’s struck my fancy quite like the CAJA custom nameplate. Each piece is hand calligraphied and cut with a jeweler’s saw and available in both vermeil and silver. Well worth every penny I suspect. {via Pretty Little Things}
Broad Street has the sort of jewelry that looks like it came from your grandmother. But so, so much better and fashionably sustainable. The Mysteries of Love bracelet is my favorite piece in their shop at the moment.
House of Dots purveys some killer vintage-inspired frocks, but what really strikes me is their incredible site concept and design. Here are a few captures, but you’ll need to swing by for yourself to get the full effect. {via Love. Obsess. Inspire.}

I’m the first to confess to my love/hate relationship with The Martha, but I also know when it’s time to man up and admit she and her staff have done something noteworthy. I’m completely smitten with this series of projects on how to make handmade jewelry and accessories. Here are a few standouts that I can’t wait to try my hand at…

I’ve finally found the perfect necklace for a modern design geek such as myself. Tiny Little Chairs is a series of collectable pendants celebrating mid-century design. Each pendant represents a vintage chair that revolutionized design as we know it today. The first series consists of five chairs: The Scoop Chair, The Pavilion Chair, The Dining Chair, The Work Chair. All are available in solid gold, silver and bronze. {via Design Milk}
The vial necklace collection has such a magical amulet feel to it. Choose from compost, crude oil, holi powder, Pacific ocean and sand to wear around your neck as your own personal protection from the wrongs of evil. A collaboration between Alexandra Cassaniti and Unearthen.
I was lucky enough to miss the first massive winter storm that rolled through OKC Christmas Eve, but I don’t think I’m going to have the fates on my side come Thursday. Yup, another one. With lots of snow and ice. Which immediately takes me back to my days growing up in Pennsylvania and throws me into Winter Mode: lots of layers with a heavy coat, hat, mittens and a scarf. Particularly one of these scarves from Spratters & Jayne. They’re handmade from 100% Peruvian Highland wool and come in three styles: cowl, lapel and tube. So chic it hurts.

I’ve had my eye on these customizable Ego Award Rings by Jimena Rios for a few months and just keep going back to them. The metal is gently curved to fit your finger comfortably. And you get to choose not only the word, but also the elastic ribbon you want the band of your ring made from. Oh so pretty.
Side Note: I believe the one with the orange band on the left says Bizcocho, which means cake or pastry in Spanish and is slang for cutie pie. Coincidentally, it is also the nickname I gave my MacBook… must be a sign to order today!
