Christmas Covet List pt. 5

I am so loving animal inspired jewelry right now, and for Christmas I would love nothing more than a fantastic cocktail ring adorned with some sort of bejeweled exotic cat. The three photos below are all awesome examples I've found through Etsy (though I wish the second one was a little more clear - it looks gorgeous!)

I found this one a few weeks ago and, regrettably, forgot to copy down the seller's name... When I went back and did another search tonight, it was nowhere to be found. I'm assuming such an awesome piece was sold pretty quickly... I love the "diamond" accents on the fur and the "emerald" eyes. Sweeeeet...

However, my less-than-successful attempt to give credit to the seller of this ring did lead me to a couple more beautiful rings:

This piece is sold by ChezVous and is a vintage piece from the 80's - loving the 80's right now (who would have ever thought that I'd be craving a blazer with shoulderpads??? that's for another day...) It reminds me of the jewelry they would display at dig museums when I visited a few archaeological sites during my summer in Tuscany - Roman-era rings were very similar!

Finally, my absolute FAVORITE piece - a handmade knuckle duster by Fleathers... agh I even have the perfect outfit to wear this with. It would also be a perfect addition to a "Modern Dorothy" look - Lions, Tigers, and Bears indeed!

*ching*

Lately I've been surfing Etsy to find the perfect necklace made with typewriter keys. In my head, I'm picturing a giant bib necklace made with an entire set, just a typewriter keyboard on your chest (at this point, I'm going to search for my own keys and make one!) I also like the idea of one spelling out "DIAMOND" in a loose choker...

Anyway, even though I'm on a budget and not really buying anything right now, I wanted to post my favorite typewriter jewelry finds. There are some really amazing creations (as always...)

I found this one at Reworkd - she has SO many pieces that I absolutely love that I need to start saving so I can get one in time for my New Year's trip. This watch necklace is absolutely my favorite - I love the death imagery, especially the skull & crossbones charm (which I'm totally into right now)

This next piece is by Metalembellisher. I am SO loving the plate that the charms are hanging from. Even though this necklace only has the one typewriter feature, I really like the juxtaposition of "love," "secret," and "shift"

I don't run, but I'm a big fan of typewriters and I'm a big fan of jewelry made out of antique flatware. So.... I present to you a wonderful combination of both, courtesy of Jennifer Perez Designs. Such a winner, especially with the double chain (you can't see it much in the photo, but it's there!)

Ok. Now, obviously this isn't a necklace, but the second I saw it I thought it would be an adorably amazing way to propose - a ring with a question mark built right in! Of course... a diamond would need to follow :-)

Finally, while this is neither a necklace nor made of typewriter keys, I think this is one of the most amazing rings I've ever seen. The gears of the antique watch make such a great texture, and the screws look like little jewels. I think I'm in love.
