Twine Pendent Earrings in Steel Medium
Two recycled steel intaglio pendants, inspired by a simple ball of twine, are hung from sterling silver ear wires. Fibrous and organic, twine represents the ties in life that bind us together with ease and a sense of belonging; these strings that we choose to connect to each other. These pendants stand out beautifully combined with a heavy cable knit cardigan, or hanging above a simple V-neck tee. Pendant is 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Ear wires measure 3/4 inches in length. Designed by independent jewelry designer, Joy O for Kyler Eco Designer Jewelry. Shop the full jewelry collection here.

All surfaces are ground flat but not polished, and each corner and edge is faceted. White resin has a very slight marbling. Very modern. Shop Go Robot’s full collection here.

Live Your Dream.
This thought is so who I am. I am such a dreamer. I try to live my dreams everyday. I will admit this isn’t always easy. It has brought me to tears many times along the way. My friends and family can vouch for this. Still, I wouldn’t change any of it for a second of it … not one second.
It is this sentiment that lead to my most recent purchase.
It is a beautiful necklace from Sima Gilady. She is an independent designer who loves her family, her job and her life. She also believes in the power of positive thinking.
I know this because I read her profile.
I like to know a little bit about the people I am purchasing from.
It makes every item I own special.
Arrival.
Inside.
A close up.
The saying on this beautiful silver disk written in Hebrew:
Don’t Dream Your Life, Live Your Dream.
On me.
The necklace hasn’t even been in my possession for a week and has already caused conversations to be interrupted by someone reaching out to touch it, tell me how beautiful it is and ask where I got it.
a gift.
You can purchase this necklace from Sima Gilady through Smashing Darling.
You can view her whole collection here.

Bag Born: 2009
The Bag is made of Envirotech Recycled Tire Rubber Clutch with Re-Used Lion Head Drawer Pull. The designer went on the hunt for a recycled rubber product and finally found it on the internet. Andres produces all of the bags himself and says that this recycled rubber is difficult to work with so there is a lot of hand finishing on each bag. We love his design philosophy of ‘less is more’. How appropriate for the winner of the Best Green Bag Award.
