Things y'all may think are interesting:

The vivacious Tina Tang is giving away of two of her sterling necklaces.  Take a look and sign up at www.blog.tinatang.com.

The talented and insightful Lori Ettlinger Gross at www.jewelhistory.com has book recommendations and another ethical jewelry site.  Eons ago, I said I would post on the subject, but she beat me to it- and wrote her post very well.  Anyone with an interest in the subject should check out her site's posts and recommendations.

Lastly, from The Sartorialist, www.thesartorialist.com, a number of wonderful, end of summer beach fashion shots and this photo of over the top earrings. 

Wait- that may be a necklace; I love it.  The energy, the movement, the childlike colors with the very adult chaotic concertina wire references- fantastic.  I couldn't wear the Mousetrap Mouse, but the bigger piece/pieces are fabulous!
