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!

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!

It is encrusted with 18ct rose hold berries and the vines actually represent all sorts of new life forms that intertwine from old to new … and they create some beautiful lines.  The pattern goes throughout the ring and can be seen from all angles and inside the yellow gold are thirty-three brilliantly cut diamonds.

The cool thing about Clogau is that they actually use rare Welsh gold that actually gives rings like this one the beautiful and natural … and uniqueness that not a lot of other brands can do.

The 18k White Gold Rose of France Flower Necklace is nothing less than exquisite. The chain is both 18k white gold and Diamond Clover. The Rose of France stone in the center is 26.65 carats. All the clovers have diamonds, which make a beautiful contrast to the gorgeous lavender stone.

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 of the products of that is the Swirled Believe Inspiration Ring in 14k rose gold. The ring is three quarters of an inch wide and features intertwining letters which swirl and curve around the finger of the wearer. The message? “Believe.”

As you can see, these engagement rings prominently showcase a leitmotif of twists — that motif is very much on purpose. Some of the pieces are made of polished gold, or white gold as the case may be, and some of them are even made of diamonds. However, the makings of the twists are less important than the meaning behind them.

Tim Spanjer, speaking for Ritani, has been quoting as explaining the twists thusly: “The twist is the human genome, the double helix of DNA. It’s two hearts intertwining and becoming one.”

With a philosophy like that, what couple would not want to go with one of these stunning rings?

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!
