I love this necklace. I tried it on in a store about six weeks ago. Makes you feel like you’re the princess of some small but chic nation-state. Keep waiting for Shop it to Me to tell me it’s on sale.

I saw this prenhite and sterling silver ring featured on Etsy’s homepage Sunday. McFarland Designs‘ store features many gorgeous semi-precious gemstones set in silver. If you’re into cocktail rings like I am — wow. Look at those facets!

Mollie Dash has a lovely website and blog. I love that the website’s home page incorporates not just images of her jewelry, but also architectural details — a shadowed chandelier, letters on the facade of a building — that speak to her aesthetic.
Here’s one of my favorite pieces currently for sale.

I got a really nice email from an up-and-coming jewelry designer and former Brooklynite, Lauren @ Urban Bloom. Her latest pieces feature real leaves covered (dipped?) in gold and sterling silver.
An early favorite:

Look, it comes in a cute box, too!
*No idea. But doesn’t the music on her website sound weirdly similar to the opening bars of “No Surprises” by Radiohead?
Urban Outfitters (home of the lovely and previously noted branch tree stand) is featuring quite a few jewelry holders these days.
Some of them are a bit too cutesy for me, but among the many hooks & such on the Apartment/Furnish/Pretty Little Things page, you will find this one. They’re not advertising it as a jewelry [...]

I’d go for the big dog:
