INSANE DOUBLE-SIDED WIRE WRAPPED PENDANTS

My jaw dropped when I saw that these pendant had not only 1 side of insane jewel and wire wrappage, but 2! 2 crazy sides to a pendant is definitely better than 1. I'm in awe... youtube showcases them the best, but here's the website of the amazing Sarah Williamson.

NATURAL WONDERS

I think these pieces are a beautiful form of nature-worship.
Thanks for the beautiful work Mike Andrews...

POWERFUL AND FULL OF LIGHT

The incredible work of David Joaquin

TRIANGLE KEEPSAKE

I love the idea of a locket or personal keepsake, or just a pendant that's infinitely customizable. It'd be beautiful with a feather, snakeskin pattern, or butterfly wing. by GemSaloon

THE GOLDEN MEAN (LITERALLY GOLDEN)

Earrings by Alibi, gold nautilus silhouette by Ka Jewelry, gold nautilus by Erica Weiner 

HOW TO MAKE SCRIMSHAW

GRASS JEWELRY

These beautiful, sustainable pieces of jewelry remind me a lot of crop circle patterns -- often the grass is pressed in spiral patterns. Apparently the glossy grass used in the jewelry is grown in Brazil. by Nugaard.

SACRED G, BABY

As a crystal lover, it's natural that I also love the platonic solids. Most crystals basic structure reduce to either an octahedron (or cube), or a tetrahedron. Here are some beautiful examples of jewelry by Lotus Lazuil.

SCARF OR NECKLACE? PART 2

More corded necklaces/scarves! The top 3 are by Isobel and Cleo. I love the innovative knit ruffle locket necklace/scarf! As for the 4th image, I'm loving the southwest right now, so this really appeals to my sensibility. And it looks so darn snug! by Ohsomilla

(And let's not forget the Necklush, which is made from jersey instead of wool)

BEAUTIFUL ART DECO NECKLACES

I love the chevron pattern -- whether it's in native american patterns or in art deco patterns, it looks awesome. Somehow these beaded pieces by Fiona Paxton remind me of both...
