my choice of accessory lately has been the stud earring. there’s just something so simple and sweet about them, don’t you think? i think they say you want to look nice, but you’re not overdoing it. i also usually end up wearing my hair in a top knot, so little studs seam to balance the look out, without dragging me down like a pair of dangles wood. they make for a great addition to daytime outfits and are so comfortable i usually forget i have them in until i lay my head down at night!

what’s been your accessory of choice lately?

i love the organic feel to lumafina’s beautiful jewelry. with hand cut pieces of metal, patina colors and the use of naturally shed deer antlers i think her pieces look feminine, natural and easy to wear. i especially love these dotted hoops and sweet chevron necklace.

has your breath been taken away yet? when brittany broas of homeground sent me her new greenhouse collection, i was speechless. not only is it one of the most unique and beautiful jewelry collections i’ve seen, but the photography and vision behind the pieces are so stunning, don’t you think? i feel like i’m walking right in the greenhouse with her, with a delicate necklace or bracelet just dripping from around my neck and wrist. inspired by her favorite local greenhouse, i think these pieces are just as lovely and colorful as the plants that surround them.

make sure to visit brittany’s beautiful blog and website to shop around, then head over to her facebook page to see more of her beautiful work!

no wonder i love nancy nelson’s jewelry, she lives and gathers inspiration from my sweet-home-of-homes- the appalachian mountains! i find her jewelry to be natural-rustic and feminine-chic all at the same time.  the woodland themes and dainty details evoke an emotion and tell a story for the wearer- and for me i think it would be a feeling of oneness with nature.  starting out as a display coordinator for the mother-of-all creative retail stores, anthropologie, nancy has evolved into a creative business owner and mom with an eye for design.

oh how sweet and simple! stuart & wright’s jewelry (found via one of my favorite reads, creature comforts) is elegant and sophisticated in a simple kind of way. handmade from los angeles to nyc, i really appreciate the crafted look they have. since i fell in love with pear shaped diamonds the day i saw katherine heigl’s engagement ring, you know my favorite is this sideways-set ring!

i feel as though this post hardly needs any words, as the photos speak for themselves! this most perfectly woodsy, feminine and detailed jewelry comes to you from woodland belle. the artist, mai mckemy, lives in asheville, nc (our home grounds) and if you knew anything about the city, you wouldn’t be surprised. it’s filled with the most eco-aware, mindful people that honor both the earth and the arts. i love the intricate detail in all of her work, the moss on these twig hair pins and the tiny succulents on this garden necklace.

visit woodland belle’s site to learn more, and shop the collection either on etsy or big cartel.

though i try to reign in on my use of this word, odette new york simple makes me swoon. there’s just no other word to describe it.

 
handmade in brooklyn, artist jennifer sarkilahti begins each design with a sketch, then carefully translates them by hand into a wax like tiny sculpture.  they are then cast into metal and turned into one of the most unique lines of jewelry i’ve seen.

 

 
with pieces that encompass an organic, natural, bohemian feel- i can’t decide which one is my favorite.  i believe that’s why i would like each of these little charms strung along a necklace. :)

visit odette new york here.
