An update on konzuk and their very awesome stainless steel and concrete rings.
My contractor friend bought the round concrete SS sandwich ring and the concrete disintegrated after about 9 months of wear. Granted he IS a contractor and works with his hands all day long, he admits he beats up jewelry. And he liked the ring enought that he is planning to get another one. But a word to those who like the way it looks: jewelry at the jobsite may not be the best idea. Especially when you think about a ring getting caught in a bandsaw blade and yanking your finger through too yuck! (it happens)
also a little bit rich - but worth checking out if you're in the neigborhood http://www.tedmuehling.com
the work is really beautiful, but they want you to come to the place and see it.
for such an apparently beautiful store, ted muehling has to have one of the worst websites i have ever seen. plus, there is not a single photograph of ANY jewelry. can i get a wtf?
etsy.com you will find real creative designers, home based jewellers there.. not some rich dude who can't design for shit but calls himself a professional jeweller because he can afford all the machines and tools his uncle handed down to him xD

Jewelry Designers.
Bling ain't my thing, anyone know any good jewelry designers?
What kind of jewelry?
elsewares has some nice stuff.
i was kind of hoping some other people would respond to this as well.
try this site
i like smallthings and fire opal if you're around coolidge corner. i just got a philippa roberts necklace as a gift (from fire opal).
oops try this one instead
http://www.chihapaura.com
nice! i like the elsewares stuff.
While some of it is amazing, all of the stuff at chihapaura is too rich for my blood at the moment. I love "Necklace Little Mat."

But the Konzuk stuff is really cool.
konzuk is a little pricey too (at least on my meager salary). i got my girlfriend one of the bracelets. but it's quality stuff.
