I own two particular necklaces that I am complimented on every time I wear them. One piece is a simple sterling silver hibiscus charm my husband bought for me on our honeymoon in Hawaii. The other is a corded necklace randomly beaded with different wood beads; some round, some oval; some natural wood colored and some metallic and colorful. Either of these necklaces will match with anything I own and I wear them all the time.

My simple hibiscus pendant is not so much a unique piece—at least I didn’t think it was. Apparently here on the mainland it’s a treat for the gazing eye. The wood beaded necklace, however is colorful and unique and always makes for a great conversation starter.

Unique jewelry is all the rage today. From funky rings to mysterious necklaces and even hair jewelry, the fashionista is on the lookout for something different. In my recent jewelry news combing, I read of one Maine man who creates jewelry from muscles, which are first polished and then wrapped in a sterling silver bezel with a nickel backing.
