Lapis Beach

Lauren Hoehn has been creating jewelry for two years, but only recently began selling her creations online. Lapis Beach showcases her one-of-a-kind creations that she strings & knits by hand. But she not only knits with yarn, as one might expect. Additionally, she knits beautiful pieces using wire and other elements. I love the fancy Golden Sunset bracelet that contains varying hues of cream and tan freshwater and glass pearls with Swarovski crystals sprinkled throughout. As a big fan of pink, the Pink Promise Thin Cuff also catches my eye. In addition to bracelets and cuffs, Lauren also creates unique rings and necklaces. The Fun Jade and Purple Ring is lovely, as is the GLAM Ocean Ring.

*GIVEAWAY: Lauren is giving away one GLAM ring. To enter the giveaway, simply visit Lapis Beach & leave a comment on this post noting your favorite design. Giveaway ends Monday, March 15 at Midnight EST.

juNxtaposition

Pennsylvania-based juNxtaposition features unique accessories created using a variety of recycled materials by Jeanne Cherry. She has taken old typewriter keys and converted into rings, pendants and bracelets giving them new life. The keys make great monogram pendants or, if you prefer a larger key with text, there's several to choose from. I especially love the bracelets that can be customized with seven keys of your choosing. juNxtaposition also offers bubble pendants that showcase pieces of dictionary pages and vintage sheet music. And if that wasn't enough for you, be sure to check out the vintage spoon jewelry that are not only unique in appearance but also have reflexology properties.
