Hot Trend – Wood & Gems, Part 1

admin — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 16:00:26 +0000

We are starting to notice (and loving) the merging of wood and metal in
jewelry. This original fusion of organic and inorganic materials results in
such an aesthetic delight that is utterly pleasing to the eye and sure to be a
conversation piece among several friends.

PART 2, next week.

Ceramic Earings

I took a pottery class a few summers ago and often thought about making a few jewelry pieces for myself. Well, Tasha McKelvey put that thought into beautiful action.

These were my favorite earings from her site. Such delicate and insightful work.

Pop-Out™ Jewelry

I first ran into Melissa Borrell’s Pop-Out™ jewelry at a gallery shop last week. What a find!

Our favorite is this gold plated pendant.

Not only are Melissa Borrell’s pendants and earrings impeccably designed, but also their packaging is AMAZING! For example, the pieces just pop out and detach from their packaging, how ingenious! We also really love the colors; very eye catchy.
