Line Lust: Odette NY Voyager

Odette NY's fall collection is a little heavier, darker, and bolder than our summer jewelry and boy, are we ready for this fresh change. Designer Jennifer Sarkilahti’s Voyager collection layers beautifully and offers those lucky enough to wear it, a whimsical and mystical look. Check out the images from the beautiful lookbook below.

Do or Don't? Jewelry for the Wee Ones

I found the found the story behind these chubby little hands over on Odette NY's blog.  Apparently the daughter of a friend of a friend started trying on her Momma's jewelry and they snapped a pic. There is no question that these soft little bejeweled fingers are cute! But how young is too young for jewelry (aside from playing dress-up!)?

"DIY Friday": My Little Eye

This is a slightly different take on DIY Friday as I don't have step by step instructions for you, dear reader. I definitely "did this myself" but I don't expect most people to have the tools and materials to make one themselves. I hope that you'll still enjoy seeing my DIY below!

As long-time readers know, I love evil eye jewelry. Not for any supersitious reasons, I just really love the way they look. So the only rational thing to do was to make my own eye shaped ring.  I scultpted it in wax and cast it in silver. The result is less than perfect, but it's all a learning experience. This ring is one of the more difficult pieces I've made and am already thinking of ways to perfect it next time.

Some other evil eye jewelry that I am loving lately.

Line Lust: Odette NY

I've loved Odette NY for so long that I can't believe I haven't featured them in a Line Lust post yet! This is just crazy to me.  I first fell in love with the Odette NY Arrow Cuff Bracelet, which was the gateway to lusting after the Ojos cuff and ring. And finally, now I have my sights on the Klaia ring.

Jennifer Sarkilahti is the desginer behind Odette jewelry.  Each piece is designed and crafted by hand in her Brooklyn studio. With an emphasis on artistry and craft, each design begins from a pencil sketch that is carefully translated by hand into wax like a small scale sculpture before being cast into materials as varied as recycled sterling silver, brass, bronze, diamonds, and 14K gold.
