HOORS

The folks over at Banana Republic have been ripping me off for a long, long time. Their chunky, multi-media **mass produced** jewelry comes dangerously close to replications of the pieces I've been creating since LNF began. The fact that I hate Banana Republic just exacerbates the injury. Here's hoping they choke on their $200 cashmere sweater wraps, the yuppie scum.

Nomi, I Love Your Nails

Has it really been almost a month since I've posted here? Holy balls. Sorry about that, guys - the holidays are a huge time and energy suck. Let this piece herald my return.



Don't let this girl walk behind you when you're walking down a flight of stairs. The piece starts with a long strand of Italian marble cubes, sweeping below a rope of gorgeous and glittering smokey quartz chips. A polished few dozen black soapstone beads bring some clarity to the situation, while silver-plated oval link cross chain twists and binds everything together. A length of gunmetal chain, all perfect circles, adds some modernity and edge. Eyes will stop on the hand-wrapped silver wire sphere, positioned mischieviously at the top left portion of the necklace. Length is adjustable by way of a sturdy silver lobster claw clasp that fits comfortable over the supporting lengths of silver cross chain, so wear it long or close to the throat.

Like all Lad Named Felix™ pieces, this comes "signed" with LNF's hand-stamped sterling silver tag, ensuring your one-of-a-kind piece is an authentic LNF creation!

Components:
Italian marble cubes
Smokey quartz chips
Black soapstone round beads
Silver-plated oval link cross chain
Gunmetal circle chain
Hand-wrapped silver wire sphere
Silver lobster claw clasp

No Regrets


The Regretsy-sponsored Holiday Regrets shop has been up for a bit over an hour, I've drank a bottle of cheap red wine, and one of my pieces has already sold! Lincoln Park Sellout is currently featured at the TOP of the shop, which of course made me moist in the pants, and I've watched views of my shop's items absolutely skyrocket. It's all too exciting. I need more wine.

Humans Helping Humans


I'm an advocate of people helping people in whatever ways are available to them. We all have something to give, and I'm lucky enough to have a treasure trove full of original jewelry with which to do what I please. It's one of the fun parts of being an independent designer.

Miss Mary Max, that tidal force behind the blog of the same name, asked for my assistance in driving donations to the Blogging For Sofia campaign, which you'll remember I contributed to in an earlier post. We schmoozed, we collabo-ed, we decided on a piece, and now it will go to one lucky person with a little to give to Sofia's treatment and a huge heart. Wanna win? Click here above for details.

Asphalt Rodeo


For the boldest among us, two large faceted raven black Chinese crystals (1" x .75") hang dangerously by sterling silver jump rings from two surgical steel earring hooks. There's sexiness in simplicity, and complexity to be found in the sleek.

Components:
Raven hand-cut Chinese crystals (2)
Sterling silver jump rings (2)
Sterling silver headpins (2)
Surgical steel earring hooks
