Today’s weekend Etsy pick is for those of you who love interesting indie jewelry, or vintage maps – or even just for the woman who likes custom jewelry, made just for you!
Jewelry designer Anne Holman uses little pieces of vintage maps to create her unique pieces.  The maps are set into her hand-made sterling silver findings and then covered with a layer of resin to seal, protect and magnify the images.
She has map jewelry from all over the world, but if you want a map from a particular place, or places – she’ll make it for you.  You could have …read more

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.

I was so inspired by the color forecast that I had to get busy in my studio – want to see what I came up with?
Here are three new pieces from my steel & glass “Second Chance” jewelery collection:

“New Leaves”

“Spring Daze”

and last but not least, “Delft Blue“.

It’s kind of like hip-hop bling for the afternoon tea & crumpets set:

Enamel & gold-plated silver necklace “Me, Myself & I” necklace from Anthropologie

This is something that I would normally be drawn to, but there is just something unusual about it and it caught my eye.

The fact that it hangs from a velvet cord, just might have something to do with it. And you have to admit, if you are wearing a piece of jewelry this striking, you really don’t need very much else!

I have been seeing a lot of these lately and they seem to be catching on fast. According to the designers, “this mini initial necklace from Christie Martin is the perfect piece to mark your signature style. No wonder it’s already a favorite of celebs like Beyonce and Hilary Duff! The petite ½” charm and 16″ chain is small enough to wear at work, and we already know you’ll be wearing it on the weekends…Made in the USA.
