Metal Allergies? No Problem! January 6, 2007

So a good friend of mine is very allergic to metal- all metal, as far as she can tell. Ergo, she doesn’t really wear jewelry.

This shall cease! Behold, my Etsy wanderings have found the answer!

This granite ring was fashioned from leftover countertop material. It’s sparkly, shiny, indestructable, and contains no metal! Created by RobandLean for $15

Yet another piece of jewelry with no metal. This one pulls it off by utilizing an elastic nylon chord with jade and glass beads. Created by Kalam for $15

To finish off the perfect outfit, how about a red necklace made from a real orchid and… no metal! Created by Hanami for $44.

Direction January 5, 2007

So I’ve decided to use this blog as a place to collect items that I’ve found around the internet that I love. This way I’ll be able to find them easily, show them to others, and catalogue gift ideas for others.
