Geode Jewelry

If you are looking for an interesting piece of jewelry, go with a natural look. Nature's geodes and turquoise are beautiful and unique. I have a blueish gray geode wire wrapped ring from Revolver, a local upscale consignment boutique. Every single time I wear it, I get tons of compliments and people asking where they can find it.

However, if you aren't in the Raleigh area, you can still find natural jewelry.

Dara Ettinger graduated from Parsons School of Design. Upon graduating, she worked for a multitude of clothing companies, including Polo Ralph Lauren, Cynthia Steffe and Anthropolgie. She moved to Los Angeles from New York to work on her jewelry line, which is lucky for us since her jewelry is fabulous! Her unique creations can be worn casually during the day, or can be easily worn at night.

Next time you are looking for an unexpected, yet beautiful, strong, yet feminine accessory, look for jewelry made from natural materials that haven't been altered (too much!) from their original state. These natural jewelry pieces can be worn day or night, in casual settings or more formal. Just know that you will be answer the same question all night: "Where did you get that?"
