I love the look of this wood resin circle necklace. What's even cooler is you can pick your colors and the order in which they are arranged. $55 at modica
My favorite part of this ghost necklace is the worried look in his little eyes. It's as if he knows that pacman is lurking just around the corner ready to eat him. $65 at Stars and Infinite Darkness

I love big, eye-catching jewelry, and of course birds! So, you can only imagine how much I love these vintage enamel bird pendants (circa 1960) strung on nylon, faux leather rope (perfect for you vegans!). Great way to accessorize a summer outfit. $54 at Lauren Haupt. Many thanks to my friend Karen for all her great tips!
I love seahorses and this pendant is so eye catching. It almost looks like the seahorse is glowing. $33 at Jewelry by Natsuko
If you enjoy pretty and simple (not to be confused with plain) jewelry then I think you will want to take a look at the pendants at Studio 9. Maple wood pendants are decorated with a variety of cool graphics. The pendants are either light, medium or dark in color and come in a few different sizes. Add a simple chain or cord or buy one when you buy your pendant and you are ready to go. $9-13 at Studio 9

Add a little green (and pink, and orange, and yellow...) to your outfit with these colorful repurposed earrings. Perfect for summer! $25 at Modify

I was so happy when I got a pair of glass photo pendant necklaces from the super cool shop FaniSong. The glass pendants are lovingly made and sturdy, and have a good weight to them. I was so impressed by the craftsmanship and beauty of each piece. The images - and boy are there plenty to choose from! - are also clear and gorgeous. And, if the variety of colors and images aren't enough for you, you can even get a custom pendant made of your favorite photo. The best part? The glass used to create each pendant is eco-friendly because they're made from recycled glass. You can also visit FaniSong's other website at www.fanisong.com for more choices that may not be featured in their Etsy store. Utterly affordable at $23 for regular pendants, $29 for custom at FaniSong. Highly recommended - they make perfect gifts, too!

Dear Readers, I am writing this from camp. Sleep away camp. We finally took our family vacation and are staying at a campground about 2hrs away from our city. A "staycation", if you will. Campfire smoke is drifting into the tent as I type, providing inspiration for these cute bonfire earrings. $4 at fabricatedrevolution!
So pretty and so perfect for us birdies - a sterling silver bird flying against a fluff of cloud. $40 at Giant Jewels. Also check out the equally fabulous Crow on a Branch necklace

I don't usually wear rings, but I've been totally fixated on them lately. This coral-ly, silver-y creation from one of my favorite Etsy artists is just the thing to satisfy my craving! It would be perfect on a tanned, manicured hand. Now I need to figure out my ring size... $35 at jeweledblossoms.

I have a weakness for nature-themed jewelry, so I adore pretty much everything in Amber Yearwood's etsy shop. These reclaimed metal earrings are made to order and available as hooks or posts. Lovely! $38 at Bijoutiful
I've been watching this shop on Etsy for a few days and it seems that they sell things as fast as they get them up. It's no wonder because they have some fabulous funky jewelry like the carousel earrings above. $12 at Untamed Menagerie

You'd never notice that Debby Arem Design's earrings and other jewelry used to be the insides of computers! It's like zombie jewelry made from computer brains! I first fell in love with her funky pins, especially the ones that look like little animals, but I think her earrings are fabulous as well. All of her jewelry, clocks, and other projects are made from recycled computer circuit boards combined with other bits she rescues from thrift stores and yard sales.
