Piano Keys Necklace
(11 December 2007) - Browsing through the new Norwegian online store Hunting Lodge, we came across this Piano Keys Necklace by the illustrious British label Tatty Devine. Pop, surreal and referencing the classic '80s piano key tie, what's not to love about it? While we admittedly have a penchant for such statement-making neck pieces, usually wearing it is another story. In this case we think it would be...

Speckled Quail Egg Necklace
(19 October 2007) - I think I might like Stephanie Simek's latest creation even more than her Tammy Faye Eyelash necklace previously featured on Cool Hunting. Yet another eerily unusual necklace, this time she makes the pendant using an actual quail egg, which she purchases from a woman who raises quails in her backyard in Texas. Varying slightly in size but approximately 1", the entire shell is reinforced...

Blackbird: Seattle Men's Shop
(25 September 2007) - In recent years, Ballard has become a destination Seattle neighborhood for those in the know, thanks to Scandinavian industrial charm, a few new bars, restaurants, a gallery, music stores and boutiques—including the standout men's clothing boutique, Blackbird. With a good selection of the labels we know and love, some of the more obscure and lesser-known brands, like the Italian shoemaker Marsèll, put the two-year...

Lanyard Necklaces
(30 August 2007) - 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...

Peace Under Fire Jewelry
(16 August 2007) - DUMBO-based designer Brian Crumley's jewelry collection, "Peace Under Fire," was inspired by the "futility of the peace sign," as well as "a reaction to the glamorization and ubiquity of guns, knives, and the such in our culture," he says. Hence, the "Knot a Rifle" pin he created as a part of the latest five-piece collection. Made from sterling with gunmetal plating, the subtle embellishments...

The Tammy Faye Necklace
(16 August 2007) - An homage to the world's most well-known mascara user, Portland artist/designer Stephanie Simek's Tammy Faye Necklace uses real human hair and sterling silver. It's an unusual and delicate piece of jewelry that, alternatively, has the calm look of sleep. Versions with freshwater pearls (pictured) or beads suggest faux tears, lending an emo feel. Available from artez'n starting at $30. You can also contact the...

Tobias Wistisen Shrunken Heads Necklace
(03 August 2007) - Creepy, beautiful and cute, these necklaces by Danish designer Tobias Wistisen feature silver mini shrunken heads. Their mix of highly detailed garish features (like the stitches over the mouth) and hair made from delicate silver chains makes for an unusual accessory that's tough to categorize. We recommend the many-headed version for rockstars or review mirrors, but the single pendant works for a more subtle...

Lucy Miller Beaded Chain-Link Necklace
(10 July 2007) - 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...

Alex Palma Jewelry
(06 June 2007) - To call jewelry designer Alex Palma prolific seems like an understatement when you take a look at his Fotolog, which he updates almost regularly with the most current of his work. Every day it's a different piece, an exhibit of sophisticated artistry concocted from a jumble of materials that he says comes together to imitate the perfect harmony of color, shapes and proportions found...

Sarah Graham Metalsmithing
(05 June 2007) - A rising star on the jewelry scene, Sarah Graham's medium is precious metals and jewels. The rings are what caught our attention so it's not surprising that Graham herself reports them as some of her most popular work and they're "collected fanatically!" Looking at the individual pieces it's not in the least surprising that the California artist reports drawing inspiration from works of antiquity...
