A slightly different approach than the delicate scenes made of hair by Melanie Bilenker's jewelry, the latest offering from Brooklyn-based jewelry designer Chrishabana feature charms strung on braided locks of human hair. Drawing on the 18th century tradition of curling, plaiting and weaving hair into decorative motifs, Chrishabana's pieces return the air of sentimentality to hair as a medium. The collection features three versions of the Braided Charm Bracelet: the Gold/Blonde bracelet is adorned with gold dipped brass molar and heart shaped charms, the Vamp Red/Auburn Bracelet has red auto lacquered brass charms of encircled bull, molars and a skull, and the Matte Black/Black Bracelet features black auto lacquered brass charms of a fist, molar sand an encircled bull. The bracelets are $180 and available exclusively at All Purpose in Los Angeles. They're tied into to the store's spring theme "Whiplash," a limited edition collection consisting of torched and twisted metal chains on cord necklaces inspired by the loss of innocence following James Dean's death.

While the solid platinum version might be a bit too costly for most, the sterling silver ring should enable anyone to put their gangster nerd stamp on foreheads—or at least make it seem that way.via Computerlove...
Neon plastic lanyard evokes a summer camp nostalgia when counselors schooled us in the art of kitsch key-chains and friendship bracelets. But in the hands of Philip O'Sullivan, the designer of an innovative new jewelry line, these notions of yesteryear are all but a memory. Made from hiking rope, which is crafted into beautifully intricate knots and finished with gunmetal hardware, each piece is...
Refinery29 Shops offers up their latest collaboration, "Catch the Sun," an exclusive, limited-edition collection of jewelry by Lisa Levine. Levine's Mexican-inspired designs combine vibrant hand beading with her signature chain metal work to create woven earrings, pendants, and chains that are sure to inspire sun worship. We particularly like the crescent-shaped "Harvest Moon Pendant" (pictured right) that looks like something a hippie mom would...
For jewelry designer Derek Cruz, of Black Sheep & Prodigal Sons, vintage ivory piano keys proved the perfect canvas for his latest collection: a limited-edition line of necklaces made exclusively for BBlessing in New York.

Made by English knitwear designer Lucy Miller, we found these hand-tied beaded necklaces at The Rise + Fall store. (Miller's line is among the small collection of goods there that's not from their house label.) We love the way Miller simultaneously reinvents both traditional beadwork and chains for a necklace that's neither too hippie nor too fake bling. (Click image for detail.) "They're really...
