One of my favorite jewelers on etsy, Beth of Rag Trader creates fabulous metal creations from vintage molds. Now all I have to do is decide which to buy first: the Octo necklace or wing earrings!

Neile
Neile is a jewelry design studio that employs the wings of naturally-deceased butterflies to create stunning rings and necklaces. (That show-stopper above? That’s a ring!) The wings are encased between panes of glass and surrounded by artfully placed silver solder. I love the way the natural iridescence of the wings is preserved — the perfect way for these transient insects to live on.
Cufflinks
Looking for a super fun gift for anyone from your man to your dad? Look no further than the handmade man-cessories at Cufflinks. From tie tacks made from legos to cufflinks from scrabble tiles, these pieces are sure to add just the right amount whimsy to any suit.
Molecular Muse
What do you get when you combine one part self-proclaimed science nerd with one part artistic metalsmith? Raven Hanna of Molecular Muse. She makes beautiful silver jewelry of some of our favorite molecules — seratonin, estrogen, caffeine and dopamine — and occasionally branches out into other mediums, such as the lovely ‘ethanol’ flutes below.
Jasmine Scott
Lately, I’m loving these retro resin rings by Jasmine Scott. Classically trained at the National Art School in Sydney, Jasmine’s work evolved into these whimsical wearables! Each one is cast and finished by hand, creating a unique piece every time. I love the depth of the color and the way she uses the medium itself to create the unique patterns that look like wisps of smoke.
