wild thing! | fallon labyrinth maze cuff

i’ve fallen pretty hard for this. what can i say? we met on the internet. some would say it’s a little dangerous—i would have to agree. yea, there’d be some precarious moments—but i don’t think we’d ever break up. and besides…what’s life without a little risk involved? 

more killer—literally—accessories from fallon jewelry that will make you fall in love. (click) 

(and the ring below screams: "PERSONAL SPACE PEOPLE!" when you're riding the crowded metro. the perfect city commuter accessory.)

treasure chest | missoni earrings

wasn't that caught up with the missoni for target merger. am impressed with these though. the mismatch completes their perfection.

treasure chest | minoux

love these pieces by minoux. so spunky and colorful.

treasure chest | goldenink

individually hand painted gloss-glazed bangels by aussie company goldenink. the casual imperfections in each handpainted design make them irresistable.

treasure chest | day birger et mikkelsen

intrigued by this unexpected trio of bangles by day birger et mikkelsen. the range from edgy, to patterned color block and then tribal catches you off guard. back from unexpected hiatus! expect more consistent posts from now on.

onyx feather | the marseilles necklace

had the opportunity to make this custom marseilles piece (from the paris collection) for the 16th annual PILA auction and awards dinner in seattle. PILA (public interest law association) is an organization that raises revenue to provide grants to students who pursue unpaid public interest work and funds social justice programs at the university of washington law school.   the necklace will be auctioned off and all the proceeds will go to PILA (85%) and invisible children (15%).

the marseilles piece consists of a vintage bow clasp, layers of vintage chain, clear multi-faceted quartz stones, and a strand of shimmering pewter Czech glass.  usually a piece like this would be hard to let go, but these organizations are worth it.

all ears | cement pearls

cement pearls by metsa. a cheeky, industrial response to the uptight, preppy pearl culture that pervades dc.

wild thing! | white turquoise + gold spike earrings

been playing a lot with white turquoise stones for the cyprus line. so imagine the delight that washed over me when i saw these little daggers of joy by new york-based jewelry designer kim dulaney. each earring is a piece of white turquoise wrapped in gold-plated metal with a flirtatious addition of a vintage chain. check out more of her pieces here.

treasure chest | orit hadad

love all things onyx. (as if you couldn't tell.) currently mesmerized by this crocheted onyx necklace by orit hadad—a tel aviv based shop that specializes in knitted jewelry. how in the world do you think to yourself: i'm just going to grab a bunch of onyx and turquoise stones and knit around them until i make a stunning necklace? these days whenever you hear about israel in the news it always seems to be in conjunction with politics and peace talks. it's refreshing to hear israel and think something random like: knitted jewelry. like the originality. and the product. retails for $298.

treasure chest | eninaj

 

am quite partial to this teffillin bracelet ($85). the addition of the leather strap introduces an element of warmth to its industrial vibe. also basking in the beauty of this red leather and silver necklace ($125)—perfect for fall/winter accessorizing. check out the rest of eninaj’s products here.

treasure chest | ca & lou

 

this piece was created by milan-based label ca & lou. it's gold-dipped bronze complemented with swarovski crystals (retail $565). decadent right?

been tinkering around with swarovski crystals lately. they are so incredibly ::radiant::
expect to see them pop up in the next onyx feather collection...
