Rugged and worn, the COURAGE/SURVIVOR ring embodies what it means to survive. While it’s intended as a cancer awareness piece (with 10% of proceeds going to the American Cancer Society or Susan G. Komen Foundation), anyone who has faced hardships can appreciate the message. The jagged edges, imperfect lettering and uneven surface give it character and show its strength. To achieve the unique distressed look the ring has been forged and hammered. The lettering is hand stamped and oxidized to give it that stark contrast.

Big and bold earrings can be light as a feather if you choose the right pair. Willow Works Jewelry has a lovely collection of beautiful feather earrings, each adorned with complimentary charms.

Yes, “keys” as in plural. Because my heart is way more complicated than most. Actually, it’s because there are 3 keys in this cute collection of jewelry by Elle est Jolie.
If the typical “key to my heart” pendant is too delicate for you, then this might be a better fit. These humble handmade accessories feature black metal keys and green glass beads that compliment a fun and funky style.
Elle est Jolie is really on to something here, not only with cool handmade accessories, but great presentation by laying the jewelry across open books, rather than a plain white background. It really adds to the smart style of these pieces.
A rather loquacious blogger and self-described shopaholic named Mango (aka Mandy) who blogs about fashion and life experience has opened up a store that’s full of flavor. As a shopping addict she ends up with more stuff than she can fit in her closet and jewelry box so she sells it to her readers.
Not everything Mango sells is second hand, some of it is handmade. The Wish Candle Necklace makes a cute birthday gift or something to wear whenever a wish might come in handy. Check out more cute stuff from Talking Mango.
Kissy Couture was started by Maile (pronouced like Miley Cyrus) and Gabby (pronounced…Gabby, hahah). Two teenage girls who got bored and needed some money.
