By Orly Necklaces For Sweata Weatha

Don’t mind me, I’m on a bead kick. My hobby is taking longer than expected 🫠…so in the meantime, I went ham on By Orly—they’re actually the perfect price point, IMO? (Invariably, we want to buy two or three for layering…planning to “mom it up” and wear with a V-neck or scoop sweater this fall.)

Venerable Beads

Delightful: the tiny bead mosiac pins of hares, swans, droopy tulips, and fruiting branches made by Venerable Beads (and bonus points for using the Venerable Bede for name inspiration).

COOLEST charm shop, Brooklyn

Haricot Vert — you can make amazing personalized jewelry. For my sister’s birthday, I made a necklace of all things she loved, and she flipped out.

Traci Fleming

Nut & Spices Brooches

I love everything Jess Wheeler makes, especially her lighting but these, these are special. Brooches made from recycled brass in the forms of cardamom, star anise, beech nut, walnut and almond. Your brooch will arrive nestled in British sheepswool in a hand-turned wooden box. My goodness...I want them all!

Tantrum Skinny Dip Ring

Been circling this for years- I always conclude that it is actually a former version of Lena, stacked inside me like so many Russian nesting dolls, who desires it. But maybe it’s current you? (To be read alongside with Raymond Carver’s The Swimmer or Emma Cline’s The Guest.)

Mosquito Pearly Hair Clip – Oyster Shell & Italian Pearls

Discovered and promptly bought this at Mohawk. From a little Spanish accessory and jewelry brand called Mosquito. Going to swap the hair clip for a pin back and wear it as a label pin.

La Raison Rings

I don’t need it (I do)

Ali LaBelle

Abril Ring

Simuero is a jewelry brand out of Spain you need to know about. This ring is in my regular rotation.

Arthritis Support Hand Rings

For wobbly or arthritic joints- your splints can give 70s silversmithing, luxury hippie. I’m actually asking my father to do some similar pieces in the welding studio with protruding curly daisies because too much is never enough!

Skylar Hauge

Marc Jacobs Fortune Fish Cuff Bracelet

It’s “in love”

Fixed Air book jewelry

Very into these metal doodles by rest (objects) created to adorn books and magazines; so charming in person. Also covet the paperclips and heart book clip and spirally hair clips. Many enchanting squiggly things!

An Analog Watch

The number-one way to be cognizant of time passing WITHOUT being obsessed with it is by wearing an analog watch and NOT LOOKING AT YOUR PHONE. I have worn this watch by March Hare every day for about three years. I love how I can easily swap the bands out myself to go with whatever I'm wearing, but more importantly, it brings me back to an earlier and slower time, particularly in the summer. FEWERBETTER20 saves you 20%.

Victorian Mourning Pins

The first time I met Alissa Bennett, she was bedecked in Victorian mourning jewelry, the covertly snipped off hair of the deceased now glimmering against her black cardigan. She told me she was writing her thesis on “the erotic aesthetics of tuberculosis in the late 1800s” and I thought “this is love at first sight.” I don’t personally collect this stuff, but if I saw it laid out on your dresser I would think highly of you.

Mudd Pearl Jewelry

Maybe my favorite small jewelry brand. I got my first piece from them “the little kiss necklace” when I turned 30. Unique pieces. I want so many.

Louise Buckley

Mondo Mondo Tropicana Necklace

My new necklace that I’m obsessed with that makes me feel like a princess and I think will bring me special powers 👑🌴

Victorian agate specimen jewelry

Never not looking for agate specimen jewelry. Erica Weiner's description for this piece made me laugh: "FACETED CYLINDERS of colorful agate are lined up to showcase the wonders of geology in one necklace.Smoke a joint and ponder the eons it took for stratified layers to harden within agate. How can the red and yellow stripes in jasper mimic a sunset? Only God could create a microcosm below to match the macrocosm above. The Victorians, sick of fussy monotone gemstones and high on laudanum patent medicines, decided to exploit nature's infinite wisdom when they mounted these specimens in gold. Now you can vibe out, too."

Dalmatian with Ruby Emerald Ring 925

This object is the most satisfying weight imaginable. It’s exactly heavy enough to feel like you’re a Disney villainess and light enough to forget about. The price/beauty/satisfaction ratio feels like you’re getting away with something- like I feel guilty, even though I literally paid the listed price.

1970s Vacheron Constantin Opal Dial

Mind blowingly beautiful opal dial in a unique face shape on an ultra classy white gold dial from one of the best houses to ever do it. This watch has everything.

Mari Giuliani Sheep Pendant with White Wool - 18K Gold

Wow. Made for me?

Space Camp

OK (santa monica, la brea, silverlake)

OK is a legendary gift destination in LA. There are several locations, and some of my favorite objects in my home are from OK. A tiny wooden statue of Frida that I couldn't not buy? Yep. An excellent, modern set of salad tongs? Also yep. My beloved comme des garçons wallet? Yeppppp.

$25 Angelina Jolie Watch

Finding treasures like this is an art. Luckily you have me.

Sophie Buhai Moonrise Cuffs

These cuffs by Sophie Buhai stopped me in my tracks.

Aurate New York Fine Jewelry

I’ve loved buying pieces from Aurate for many reasons: the quality, their approach to a less wasteful way of producing jewelry, and keeping production local. I am not precious about my jewelry because I don’t want to be thinking about it—if I’m wearing something, I’m wearing it, and I’m not taking off earrings because I’m going swimming or I’m sailing. I need my pieces to hold up to everyday use, and I’m happy to say that all my pieces from Aurate do! You can also save 20% with FEWERANDBETTER20.
