Topping my Christmas wish list this year are these gorgeous rings by Emily of Tre Anelli. Sold as a set, these individual silver rings feature bezel set iolite, amethyst and gray moonstone. I love the subtlety of this combination of purples and grey, but she has a variety of color combinations to suite any taste.

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!

The testing grounds for the creative genius of Bob Feyereisen, feYerwerks is an innovative oasis for those looking for smart handmade items. Each piece is thought through from beginning to end and exceedingly well designed and crafted. As a designer these are the types of pieces I wish I had bopping around in my brain: beautiful in their execution and perfect in their concept.

Sorry, couldn’t help it. I’m so in love with my newest cards! They’re available for custom printing in my etsy shop and this color combo is available at Iconi Interiors. Yup, that’s right, just tonight I dropped off a whole mess of cards at Coni’s and they should be on display soon. Go check ’em out!
