Looking for something different to add to your jewelry collection? Well, you should probably get your hands on the Ija Designs “Skull” bracelet.

This bracelet has a very vintage feel with a touch of punk flare. A 14k gold plated skull offsets the brilliant, faceted gemstones. It’s a little out of the ordinary, but who wants to look ordinary fashion-wise? Get this bracelet and you’ll probably never want to take it off.

Sometimes, I really wish I could be a badass. I really wish I can break out into barfights and pierce my nose and drink whiskey for breakfast. But I can’t. At least with the Silver Double Fingered Ring by Ija Designs, I can pretend I have a little bit of badassness to me. Sleek and modern, this ring will be sure to knock others out. But the beauty in the ring is that it can fit in at a dive bar or at an elegant cocktail party. Because let’s face it, a girl can’t be a badass 24/7.

Ija Designs "Anchor" earrings in gold.

With the imminent onset of summer, I’m seriously feeling some of the lazy-hazy associated therewith. I picture a blindingly blue sky, an equally rich sapphire sea, a gleaming white catamaran. We’re just off the coast of Cannes, gently bobbing in the waves.

Right. Back to reality.

But I can still hold on to my seafaring fantasy. I may be wearing my most professional, respect-worthy work clothes, but just knowing I have a cheeky little hand-forged anchor dangling from each earlobe makes me smile.

Sure, I’ll finish that memo by noon. But my heart is in the Mediterranean.
