Cyber style
Who needs words when you have emojis? Succinct and expressive, there’s one for pretty much any occasion. Blogger turned jewelry designer Wendy Brandes has been turning your favorite emoticons into studs and rings since 2008, back when emo hearts <3 reigned supreme. With the birth of the iPhone, emojis are more detailed than ever. Keeping up with the times, Brandes releases a line of intricate hand-gesture emoji jewelry, including thumbs-up, a peace sign, and an OK symbol. A pair of these would make the perfect gift for any child of the internet.

A sausage necklace compliments any outfit!
Ever pass by a sushi joint and ogle at all of the fake food in the window display? Those little California rolls just look so real and appetizing, it makes you wonder how they get them to look so perfect. Fake Food Hatanaka, a company specializing in (you guessed it) fake food confections, is taking their tasty-looking art to new grounds. The Japanese company now turns your favorite snacks--like ramen noodles, sausages and fried eggs--into mouth-watering jewelry. OK so the pizza necklace might be a bit overbearing, but we’re thinking the ketchup-dipped french fry earrings might be totally appropriate for a late-night diner date. No? Hmm.

Jewellery High School
Thursday, March 28th, 2013
Omg, Becky, you’ll never guess what
Picture day during high school can be a stressful experience. (Hair up or down? Jean jacket on or off? Toothy grin or sly smirk?) But these girls play it off like it ain’t no thing. For its Spring/Summer 2013 issue, Gentlewoman got four teenagers to pose for their editorial Jewellery High School. Photographer Daniel Riera captures the awkward charm of these teens, embracing braces, fly-aways, and that wide-eyed enthusiasm.
Not only did the girls get to dress up and wear some fancy jewels, they also get to brag to all of their friends that, ya, they were like, totally published in a magazine.
Check out the rest of the Jewellery High School editoral from Gentlewoman’s s/s ’13 issue below.
BFF Bracelets

Share them with friends, or keep them all for yourself
Jewelry designer Venessa Arizaga’s newest pieces have got us feeling a bit nostalgic. All beaded and braided by hand, these bracelets remind us of lazy summer days spent with bffs, back when we didn't have to hold down summer jobs. “I like to think of each piece I create as a treasure and a good luck charm, something special you want to keep close to you to reflect upon good times and evoke your fondest memories,” says Arizaga.
Done in bright colors, complete with teenage slang, Arizaga's bracelets are now available at LustCovetDesire.com. And while you’re at it, grab an extra one for your bestest gal pal.

Rock Paper Scissors

Good ol' rock
Rock paper scissors isn’t just for settling bets anymore. The short clip, directed by Susan Locht, uses footage of competitive hands in motion to showcase a collection of new chunky jewelry designs from a variety of brands like Lizzie Furtunato and Heidi Gardner and the latest nail colors by Illamasqua. With a concept that feels new and engaging, the video is a playful take on the run-of-the-mill lookbook format.
Watch bejewelled hands duke it out in "Rock Paper Scissors" below.
