Thank goodness for jewelry designers, they give us new ways of adorning ourselves.

And that is what you will find in abundance in our online jewelry auction, well, not buttons, but hundred of rings, necklaces and bracelets to adorn yourself, or adorn that special someone.

“Gorgeous Brazilian designer Simone Coste takes a unique approach with her designs. She uses stones mined in Brazil, quartz, onyx, chrysoprase, amethyst and others and instead of merely mounting the stones in gold she uses the stone as the sculptural concept for the ring, letting the sold serve as an inner support. The effect is striking, although perhaps a tad bulky on the finger. But in a world full of designs that look increasingly similar it’s refreshing to see someone step out in a new direction.”

From the jewelry designer, Sarah Hood:

“In the Spice Series neckpieces, I work with whole spices, including cardamom pods, fennel seeds, and saffron. I am constantly surprised and inspired by the completeness and innate elegance of these small natural forms and try to highlight them effortlessly with the clean lines of silver and glass. These pieces blur the lines between studio, kitchen, and laboratory”

No, you are not seeing double. Your viewing an interesting experiment by jewelry designers Mike and Maaik’s ‘Stolen Jewels’ collection.

“The printed and scored leather “jewels” tell an interesting story, they’re based on actual stolen jewels, in fact pixilated images of the stolen gems from the web, and printed on scored leather so that each facet/pixel can be bent out.
Using Google Image Search, we browsed through some of the most expensive and often famous jewelry in the world, the resulting low-res images we found were stolen, doctored, then transferred onto leather, creating a tangible new incarnation. With the expense of the jewels and the intricacy of their construction stripped away, their essence and visual intensity are extracted.
Stolen Pieces include the Hope Diamond Broach, the Golden Jubilee Diamond Broach, the Great Chrysanthemum Necklace, and Imelda Marcos’ Ruby Necklace with Diamonds by Van Cleef & Arpels among others.”
