I’ve come across Caitlin Mociun’s Hexagon ring a few times recently and every time I let out a little sigh. To me it looks like the chemical world (elemental structures) meets the animal kingdom (honeycombs). And it’s lovely.

My paternal grandfather was a gunner’s mate in the navy and carried the nickname Sailor with him for the rest of his life. He had an anchor tattooed on his forearm with carrying his ship’s name, and I’ll forever associate the emblem with him. I guess that’s why I’m so drawn to this hand-forged steel anchor necklace. I love the rough edges and that it will develop a slight patina over time, just like a rusty old sailor himself. {via Shiny Squirrel}
I love the idea of a lightweight fabric necklace from Thief&Bandit resting gently against my collarbone. And the fabric? Completely hand painted.
I love the unexpected, slightly dirty feeling of these rings from Polly Wales.
Slowly but surely my jewelry box is opening itself up to yellow gold. Let me amend that, yellow gold that is done correctly. Delicate and clean, where the lines do the lifting. Just like these pieces by Jules Smith that I spotted at South Moon Under.

Conroy & Wilcox is an independently owned New York-based company specializing in heirloom-quality jewelry. To say that I’m enamored with their unusual stones and cuts would be an understatement. To say that I’ve changed my mind yet again about gold would be nothing new around these parts.
I wore a watch religiously starting in junior high and continuing throughout college. And then when I hit the workforce ground running I stopped. The world of keyboard trays has really managed to cramp my watch-wearing style with all of its banging, clanking and pinching. I’m hoping to get back in the saddle sometime soon, perhaps with Orient’s CEV09002B or CFM00001B. In the meantime, the ladies out there have the chance to win this pink-faced BNQ1P001M.

Bario-Neal Jewelry is a new to me shop, who uses reclaimed precious metals; ethically-sourced stones; and low-impact, environmentally conscious practices in crafting their gorgeous pieces. I love the raw feeling each one evokes, sort of like it was dug straight out of the earth. PS: Isn’t their packaging ridiculously amazing?!
