I found Painted Metal Jewelry while obsessively trolling Etsy. Their motto is "if you like your jeans better after a year of wear and tear, chances are, you'll like Painted Metal" That's not always true of my taste, but this pretty jewelry certainly caught my eye. The matte paints and dark patinas have an organic appeal that is really eye catching. I can imagine wearing these pieces endlessly.
I love the clean lines and minimalist feel of this jewelry. It's organic shapes have a restrained and editied feel. Occasionally there is a touch of glitter with sparce use of stones placed just for a little touch of luxe. See the whole collection HERE.
I wish I had the guts to wear one of these. Perhaps to my next parent teacher conference. I am giving it serious consideration. I just think they are so awesome, check out all the sayings here. Warning, there is some "mature" content.
I always think of hand tooled leather as something someone on a Harley covet, you know that kind of old school masculine tough... Not so with Sunnyrising. It's mixture of color, vintage metals and hand-stamped charms is decidedly modern with a heady dose of femininity. We particularly love the colored leather and the eclectic mix of texture and shine.
Need a great handcrafted gift? We just got a beautiful box of Bonnie bracelets in! Each is one of a kind, so each is a little different, which adds unique character to each one. Like your favorite pair of jeans the more you wear them the better they get. In time they develop a deep golden hue (think ancient Egyptian gold), and will take on a weathered yet polished patina (think beach glass). We have them in brass and in sterling in several different weights. Wear them piled on or just one as a unique eye catching focal.
Simply Gorgeous modern jewelry arrived today from Amy Tavern. We love the clean lines and dark patina of Amy's "Steel and Gold" series of jewelry."Fashioned from hardware store tie-wire and rich 18k gold, this collection is a study in opposites. raw, industrial steel wire is reappropriated, making beautiful, wearable components that are strung on fine gold chains and delicately hammered ear wires."
We are loving the Vintage feel and cool French writings showcased in the Lola Collection. So chic and femine! Each is handmade and of course one of a kind. Stop by to see this great new additon to the shop.
Sometimes the work speaks for itself, and that is clearly the case for the glasswork designs of Caitlin Burch. A second generation glasswork artisan Caitlin work's out of her small studio nestled amoung the lush trees of Vermont's Green Moutains. Her work is at once modern and organic. Each is handmade by Caitlin and true to real craft, each is a unique.
It's getting harder and harder to keep these beautiful necklaces from California artist Kathy Bransfield in stock. We love their sweet and thoughtful sayings from notables such as Emerson, The Talmud, and Gandhi, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Oscar Wilde. They are really meaningful as well as just gorgeous to look at, plus the quotes are actually quotable, not sugary sweet "Hallmarky".
Beautiful new bracelets and anklets in from Island Cowgirl. We love the rustic elegance of these pieces and I am so excited that it is finally anklet weather.
