rings of many shapes and sizes

i'm desperately in love with these custom multi stone rings from mociun. desperately.

check out more of her custom work here, or go shopping for her goodies here. while i continue to drool over jewelry i hope to own someday.

all man things, all the time

i have SUCH man envy. when i was a little girl, i tried VERY hard to pee standing up (much to my parents dismay... they had to reign it in when i had peed all over myself at a family event) (to new readers: i have no shame). i like textures that are typically directed towards men in design - clean, fresh, sharp. i get squirmy around soft things (like fleece, and that gross weird feeling of those super soft socks that girls wear), but i love crisp cotton sheets, and the cool feeling of leather.
needless to say, when i stumbled onto kaufmann mercantile, i was in love. and when i realized it was primarily for men, i said, 'too bad gender roles! i'm coming for you and all of your manly things!' and then promptly chose all my faves.

they're beautiful. gotta catch them all.

some of my faves

hat   //   from L to R: EDC kit, waxed canvas kit, iPad stand, tote bag, pewter flask, driving gloves, knife, socks, iPad sleeve   //   weekend bag

rings. for moi.

i'm looking intently for a few thin rings - stackable or non.... just looking for something to spread out on my fingers. i love the simplicity. the delicacy. so i've been scouring all the sites i know of. the ones at the top of the list?

the pia ring from palomarie

custom initial ring from pale fish NY

silver heart ring from punky bunny

barely there ring from terra stratum

beautiful rings by mociun - square ring  //  stacked sapphire ring  //  double triangle ring

i will most likely end up with at least a few of these... and in the meantime (while waiting for etsy to ship to me) i'm going to research silversmithing classes.... perhaps make a few of my own.
