Once again Etsy has proven to be the place to go when you want to find unique trinkets and gorgeous hand made jewelry by independant and very talented designers. I spotted these necklaces by EmBound and just had to showcase them here.

What’s better than summery, bohemian jewelry?

Why summery bohemian jewelry on sale, of course!

What am I drooling over?

I love the bold design of the “Patchwork” necklace.  It’s made from a combination of 18kt gold and copper wire, accented with glass beads.

I would happily give this crocheted copper & gold wire flower ring a home too!  It’s on sale for $42, normally $87.

Key necklaces and pendants are so trendy right now.  There are tons of variations on the metal vintage key.

But what if you want something a little different?

CBT’s Closet has taken the classic, elegant skeleton key shape - but then laser-cut it out of acrylic, for a hip edge.  The key is 2.5″ long and comes strung on a silver-plated chain.

You can also choose your own color, from a selection of solid, clear or mirrored acrylic colors.

Tomorrow is the first full day of summer, and what’s more summery than plump, juicy cherries?

Especially if you can wear them as jewelry!

The “Coral Cherry” necklace is a combination of hand-cut sterling silver leaves and stems and coral “cherry” beads.  The leaves have been hammered, to give them a leaf texture and then treated with a black patina for a soft vintage look.  Each necklace is handmade by indie jewelry designer Rubygirl.

I recently discovered the jewelry shop, “Sorrelli” - it’s a team effort by a trio of sisters.  They create lovely jewelry, with a slightly-old fashioned touch of style.

I love this necklace, made with Swarovski crystals.  It reminds me of piece of jewelry that you’d find in a really great antique shop:

The matching cuff bracelet is equally lovely, and features crystals in a pale yellow “lemon drop” color:

I’m trying to keep my caffeine intake as low as possible these days, which means I’ve given up my afternoon cup of tea.  Yes, I realize there is decaf tea… but it’s just not the same.

You’ll forgive me if I’m fixating on tea cups these days, but I thought this little tea cup necklace was just too cute not to share:

It’s even got a little spoon!

It may not make up for my afternoon tea break, but it’s sure adorable
