There is something beseeching and poignant about the way these carved bodies cling to one another to create designs.

For the most part, it seems, this collection — called “Stories” — is done up in 18k gold, occasionally with gemstones acting as accents.

The carved gold silhouettes definitely do tell a story. This is jewelry that actually means something, and that is truly rare these days. When you find pieces like these, you have to appreciate them — and hold onto them if you have one.

I have reviewed a lot of pieces of jewelry since I began writing for this blog, and I have never, ever seen a piece quite like this one — nor have I come across any piece of jewelry that has struck me in quite the same way.

This is the Bijules Curved Bar Ring, from Bijules NYC Jewelry. This particular jewelry company is well known for producing incredibly unique, one of a kind pieces, and with this ring, it is easy to see why it came by that reputation.

Classified as a variation on a them, the ring circles only one finger but it slopes and curves over the wearer’s entire hand. It is like a stylish interpretation of brass knuckles — definitely a piece for someone with the killer instinct!

This elegant, sinuous Snack Necklace is a gorgeous example of her work — and it explains why celebrities like Salma Hayek, Nicole Ritchie, Eva Longoria, and Lindsay Lohan have all worn her jewelry.

It is slick but dainty, not to mention completely one of a kind. The necklace is double stranded, plated in 14k gold, and it features a smooth little snake charm.

This gemstone Panagea Pendant is a great example of his gorgeous, intricate work. It contains green peridots, white diamonds, and green chrysophrase, all put together to create an exquisite final product.

Though normally not a fan of yellow gold, even I have to admit that the green peridot makes a stunning complement to the gold.  The necklace is bright and bold without ever veering into the realm of gaudy.  It is at once antique looking but edgy.

Freshwater seed pearls are actually strung together on this 2 ¾ (7cm) choker with an extension chain that can be adjusted to fit all sorts of neck sizes.  The hard is actually a touch of the rare Welsh gold – as usually that can really only be found in all of the Clogau collections.

The greatest thing?  This little beauty is on sale!  £300 is the price, which is actually one hundred off!  You should absolutely jump on this deal!

The design company is known for creating stylish and fashion forward accessories and pieces of jewelry. Specifically, they are meant to reflect the current fashion trends featured all over the world. Although the company only launched during the fall of last year, it is already extremely popular, especially in the many trendy boutiques dotted around Los Angeles.

It is no wonder. The pieces from Yukester Jewelry are extremely distinctive. They are worldly and charming, yet completely unique at the same time.

You only need to take a look at this gorgeous Snake Necklace to see that. Made of a gorgeous matte, it is now one of the jewelry company’s signature pieces, partly in thanks to the one of a kind coiling which allows the necklace to hold its distinctive shape.

You can bend or twist the necklace to create all kinds of different looks. It is forty two inches long and you can get it in both gold and silver.

One thing that I have to say about the jewelry market is going to be that while it is constantly changing, constantly updating and constantly trying to come up with new things, there are still some things that are just timeless and classic and one of them happens to be the drop necklace.  This amazing necklace is honestly one of the sexiest pieces of jewelry in the world.

Not only does a drop necklace look amazing on any neck, but really think about it, a woman shows up to a date in her amazing little black dress and on her neck, plunging downward is a drop necklace.  Think about amazing that would look, not only would she feel beautiful, but the necklace will become the focal point of her entire outfit and it will look amazing.

So the next time you are in the market for an anniversary gift, birthday gift or Christmas gift, get her something that she will not only love, but look incredible in as well.

That’s right folks, the hottie host from Top Chef is combining her love of fashion with her love of creating and is coming out with her own line of jewelry!  Now, in the picture is of course just a sample of what is to come and to be honest, these beautiful pieces are just that … beautiful and to be quite frank, they are freakin’ awesome!  I did not think that the lovely Padma Lakshmi would come up with something as beautiful as this!

Her line, which should be premiering soon is going to feature all sorts of gold necklaces, cuffs, earrings, rings and a whole lot of bangle bracelets!  May is the month when these amazing gems are going to hit the Bergdorf Goodman stores, but if you want to sneak peek at what Padma has up her sleeve, go to PadmaLakshmi.com and you can see all that she has to offer!

Now of course, with Padma being who she is and the price of gold soaring on up, all of her beautiful gold pieces will most likely be between $375.00 and $6,600.00, so watch out when you are looking!  Make sure that you can definitely afford this!
