This specific jewelry collection is one among several by the designer, and I love this bird inspired series for its rich, bold colors and imagery. This necklace […]

While I’m desperately trying to branch out into gold and bronze jewelry, I can’t help but love the cleanliness and brightness of silver.
Not too long ago I found Handmade by Hapa, an Etsy designer who specializes in handfolded metalgami jewelry. Who doesn’t want silver ninja star earrings to show you’re lethal and feeling pretty, […]

I’ve been spending maybe a little too much time on Etsy lately. I know that’s the case when I find myself looking at favorite shops over and over and I eventually break down and buy things. But I’ve been trying to be thrifty!
