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!

I signed up to receive email updates from Wabisabi Brooklyn when I saw their enameled decoupaged penny rings at Mongo on Smith Street. Looks like the Wabisabi-ers will be out in full force at the Brooklyn Indie Market tomorrow until sunset or so.

Straightforward beauty.

Fun fact: if a gemstone exhibits Aventurine-like qualities, it is said to demonstrate aventurescence. I love that.
Extra party bonus fun fact: the name Aventurine comes from the Italian “a ventura,” or “by chance.” (Same link as above.)
Tack så mycket, Smosch : )

I love that it’s sitting atop an open book of quotes.

I totally agree — a great way to enjoy buttons without wondering how to wear them.

I could spend hours poring over Etsy. Who am I kidding? I do.
Here are three new favorites I recently discovered. Each bring a unique perspective to vintage materials.

Aside from taking the most incredible product shots — works of art themselves — her jewelry is lovely. It was impossible to pick one piece to show off. [...]
