Apparently all you have to do to make me want something is make it look like candy, especially when it comes to jewelry. These pieces from Portland-based Sticks and Stones are mesmerizing.{via Poppytalk}
Note to self: I really need a dual finger ring…
Posted In jewelry, wear itOne of my favorite parts of the design blogging community is the rampant creativity that gets shared. A lot of this shines through in do-it-yourself projects that people take the time to figure out, organize, and explain. And lately? Just wow. The past week alone has been a minefield of amazing ideas that I can’t wait to bring into my own home and wardrobe.

A few weeks ago I undertook the task of purging/organizing my jewelry box. It had been living in my closet, but I tend to only wear what’s out and accessible so that didn’t seem very smart. I pulled together a few little white bowls and dishes for rings and bracelets, got out my necklace tree, and moved it all to my dresser. I even found a few earring displays I had squirreled away somewhere. Now I can see all of my favorite pieces and accessorize accordingly.
I really like these jewelry stands from Polli, both are made from salvaged wood and look like pieces of miniature folding art.

Each of these leather bangles from Mariebelle Campa’s shop is made from ultra soft Greek leather cord and plated tubing. They come in sets of twelve in tons of colors. (The turquoise reminded me of my friend, Karey.)

I’ve seen quite a few artists reaching out and donating proceeds from heartfelt goods being sold since last Friday’s disaster in Japan. This is the first piece of jewelry I’ve come across. wsake created this spray painted copper pendant hung from silk, reminiscent of the country’s rising sun emblem.

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…

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

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.)

Meet the Clover Cat’s Eye Ring, just in time for St. Patrick’s Day. A pretty excuse to be festive if I’ve ever seen one.

Little clustered necklaces from the little dröm store? Yes, please.

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!)
