Bamboo can grow three feet a day. The United States produced more than 110 million tons of steel last year.
Despite this profusion, a square of bamboo framed in stainless steel can feel rare and precious.
This striking pendant is a good reminder that worth and value are often as much in the intention as in the raw materials.

7 bucks from analiese’s esty shop
Need something classic yet fun to wear for your job interview at the circus? Or maybe to the funeral of a clown?

75 bucks from stars + infinite darkness
A skull necklace made from a recycled vinyl record could be over-the-top, air-guitar, rock n’ roll!
But the fact that the design is anatomical rather than ghoulish — more hamlet than ozzie — makes it subtle and sexy.
15 bucks from vling
What’s the difference between something very nice and a treasure? I think it is that treasures are hidden and somewhat secret.
Take this clever Japanese-inspired box, for example. Like cotton orgami, it unfolds into a soft container. What little thing wouldn’t seem finer for being secreted here?
