Chunky enamel designs bring back spring’s favorite haute hippie style.  In deliciously eye-popping colors, these cocktail candies take on a casually chic approach to statement style at an affordable price.

Here’s where to find them on MyJewelryBox.com.

Courtney Romain kindly suggested me this wonderful necklaces from Artfully Elegant. It is a successful mix of citrine, lavender chalcedony, carnellian and gold fill. Something pretty that would go perfectly with my outfit today or my best friend Cristina would positively love to have (giggles).

So, yes Courtney, I like it a lot. Thanks for the hint!

Echo of the Dreamer

You may find this strange but spring may be less colored than the creations of Margaret Thurman and her team from the Echo of the Dreamer.

The designs are a burst of minerals and colored stones. The jewelry is inspired by the cultures of the world and the collection seems to hold all the treasures of the earth.

The variety of the stones and materials is amazing: sterling silver, amber, amethyst, rutilated quartz, carved bone, laguna agate, sugalite, citrine, carved agate, iolite, boulder opal, kyanite, obsidian, river rock, petrified sea shell, stalactite slice, spotted drusy, green moonstone, vintage buttons, glass, rhodocrosite, keshi pearls, pink tourmaline, mexican jelly opal, citrine, sunstone, mother-of-pearl, topaz, pearls, coral, geode, asian tile, onyx and many more that even haven’t crossed our mind.

This necklaces of spring flower is the creation of JillBliss art+creation+design. The artist presents the story of this creation and says “this necklace just make you want to skip in a field of flowers”. She has paired hand-cut and hand-sewn floral gems with a green hemp cord and teh result is a  a spruced-up hippie necklace!

I also like these three flower necklaces:

This simple pair of earrings are sleek and modern with a little added texture and interest to the hanging dome of silver. These are easily an everyday staple. They are so light and easy to wear with anything!

This lovely pair of earrings is hand formed out of sterling silver wire with a fine silver crocheted bead, set in a sterling silver bezel. These earrings are light and easy to wear. Perfect for any occasion!

These sterling silver classic hoops are simple and easy to wear with anything. By adding a hammered texture it puts a little spin to the classic style.

These black lace-like earrings are beautiful! The earrings feature a black enamel coated copper crochet bead set in a sterling silver bezel. They are light and elegant and hang beautifully from the ear.

Brilliant idea for a brilliant diamond ring

Jude Frances came up with the Cipriani ring, consisting of 5 center diamond put together in a wonderful shape. Maybe you can’t have that precious single perfect big diamond, but you can have setting of five with the same effect and a better price. You can get the ring you desire for much less. Brides.com says “To get an idea of the price, the 1 carat total weight ring costs $5,907 while the 3 carat total weight ring costs $7,638″. The same style can be applied to earrings and pendants.

After browsing around and looking for noteworthy jewelry designers on the web this morning, I came across Ashley Hilton.  Nice work he did with those fruit alike pendants and rings! Here’s a taste.

To make things better, his creations is not only fabulous, but eco too. He makes his jewelry in New Zealand in the kind of closed loop manufacturing that makes you feel great about buying something so unique.

Ashley Hilton is one of those jewelry designers that strongly believe in “ethical gold”. This means that the production of his eco jewelry makes  “as low an impact on the world at large as possible” byfabricating his own metal or  recycling old and heirloom jewelery and makeing new pieces. A green jewelry designer he is.

Heart-stopping free-form right hand ring has a truly unique design. It displays 10 exquisite heart- shaped fancy yellow and white diamonds, and several bands of pave’ set diamonds, interweaving to form an outstanding design. Love it! Love it! Love it!

Heart Shaped Diamonds Right Hand Ring

Total weight of the natural fancy yellow diamonds is 2.00 carats. Total weight of the round full cut white diamonds is 0.45 carats., H color grade, VS2 clarity grade.

You can find this precious heart shape diamond ring and many more surprinzing designs at JR Jewelers online Store under the section Fancy Yellow Diamond Jewelry.

Definitely not the same old men’s rings are brought to you by Andrew Nyce Designs. With a fresh masculine touch, the rings are accented by distinctive patterns. The Mokume Gane Collection has a satined pattern and a wonderful mix of colors and tones, while the Damascus Stainless Steel collection has a more rugged feel to it, due to the finger printed texture.

Mokume Gane is an old metalworking technique that originated in Japan in the 1700s. The words translate to “wood eye metal,” which accurately describes the topographical patterns that appear when metals are twisted and forged using this process. The look is similar to the swirling, watery patterns of Damascus steel or ancient Chinese lacquer work.

Andrew Nyce Designs handcrafts unique wedding, engagement, and men’s rings. “We craft intricately patterned rings that reflect the unique interpersonal relationships of our customers. No two pieces of jewelry are ever exactly the same”, he says. While incorporating classic materials, they apply ancient Japanese and Middle Eastern metalworking techniques. The distinctive, yet elegant rings address any fashion-forward, modern man.
