I want…no, I need this cuff. This version is from Anthropologie, available for $198, but Lucky also has a more cost effective option for $62 if you’re digging it too.

Thanks to Alix Rose for catching my attention with her post about jewelry you always wanted, but never knew. She was totally right!

As a big fan of Wendy Brandes’ swear rings, I told her about six months ago that if she ever came out with a “<3″ ring, I’d be the first in line to purchase. I’ve always wanted one as I feel it’s the ultimate accessory to represent someone who loves fashion and all things digital.

Leave it to Wendy Brandes to steal my heart again with her “talk to the hand” jewelry smarts (you might recall her swear rings). The newest additions to her sterling silver collection are the OMG and LOLz rings, now available for pre-order. The best part is that she is selling them through Kickstarter, a great site where people share businesses/passions they want to pursue where others can help fund…because every little bit helps.
