You may remember my previous feature on Laurel Hill Jewelry. Now, Laurel Hill is Esser Vesper.
“ESSERvesper is hand cast out of bronze and sterling utilizing the lost wax technique. The pieces are intended to be worn daily and age through wear, thus increasing meaning and attachment. The line is sculptural, seasonless, and wears to the wearer.”
No piece is exact. Like works of art, every flaw, shine or glimmer, is testament to the piece’s original character.”
I’m obsessed with these bronze stacked rings, and the way the lovely Una Portland (their only current stock list) mixes them up online.
Erin Considine Jewelry is my newest hand dyed obsession, aside from Shabd of course. Based out of her Brooklyn New York Apt (her kitchen to be exact), all or Erin’s jewelry is hand-made using all natural dyes and fibers and reclaimed materials. Favorites are her ‘Asiode’ necklace made of hand dyed cotton with logwood, turmeric, onion skin+hibiscus copper+brass, and the hand dyed ‘Tower’ bracelets and fun bolos. Yes, bolos. Hee Haw!
Erin Considine is available for purchase online at Beklina, Una and the artist’s own site.

Berlin-based clothing label Anntian collaborated with jewelry designer Arielle de Pinto on a collection of necklaces and bracelets a while back, and until now I thought that was their only venture into jewelry design. Wrong! Anntian designed a large and colorful collection of jewelry for their S/S ’10 collection entitled ‘PHASE’. The jewelry is just as bright as the clothing. Some of the necklaces look like giant pieces of candy — Don’t you want to bite into them?!
They did another small Arielle de Pinto collaboration this season as well. Visit Anntian online for more info.
Shop ‘PHASE’ in store or online at Creatures of Comfort. GO GET IT…
As many of you may know, I’m crazy over Etten Eller’s incredibly delicate jewelry collection. Designer Tini Bloom just sent over a sneak peek of her newest Fall/Winter 2010 collection which utilizes reclaimed brass bars dangling delicately from fine gold chains, as well as casted brass snake vertebrate featured in a surprising elegant way. So refined…I’ll never think of snake vertebrate the same again! Here are my favorites, available for purchase in the fall:

Google Tina Frey and you’ll be asked if you meant “Tina Fey”. But if you keep searching you’ll find designer Tina Frey’s gorgeous hand-sculpted resin jewelry, vases, and other great pieces, not the 30 Rock star. I quickly fell in love with one of her Macy bubble necklaces but was just as impressed with her white flower necklace, and while it’s not her characteristic translucent resin…her new leather handbag collection, made to order.
Shop the collection online at TinaFreyDesigns.com or in Portland at Una.

I started putting together a Valentine’s Day gift gift guide a while back, but kept coming back to Mociun’s fine jewelry collection. It’s so delicate and gorgeous and would make the perfect Valentine’s Day gift…

Please file this under: how in the heck did I not post about this sooner?! I did a little mailbox cleaning today and found an email from the lovely Hanna Sandin of SAMMA. She attached her spring ’10 lookbook and a cute video short produced by her friend John Sebastian Vitale.

I’m a little speechless when it comes to the entire collection: all I can come up with is love, love and love! That aforementioned email also had some info on an upcoming interview I’m doing with the designer so if this collection isn’t enough to satisfy your appetite…stay tuned!
SAMMA Spring ’10 is available at Maryam Nassir Zadeh
