Once designer Sandra Mardini saw these green chalcedony stones, she instantly designed the Petra necklace in her head…and then created the necklace while listening to her favorite Bob Marley CD.
Fun fact about Sandra? She’s absolutely obsessed with music and has over 1300 CDs. Her taste in music, which ranges from techno to classic Springsteen to Arabic pop, is as eclectic as her jewelry collection.

For a delicate, feminine look, wear the Mossy Green Apatite Ring alone, says designer Anne Maa. But for a little more spark, you can stack this simple ring with another style.
Anne’s best jewelry tip? Try jewelry that you like but that you think is "not you." If you’re a silver person who likes the looks of a gold piece, or if you like a bold piece and only wear less showy items, go for it. Jewelry shouldn’t be too serious–it should be fun.

Designer Tracy Matthews loves things you can layer, so when she set out to create her Asha Hammered Rings, she designed them to layer with other jewelry.
Fun facts about Tracy? She’s a part-time yoga teacher, and she loves doing crazy yoga party tricks–handstands, backbends and cartwheels. Oh, and her favorite breakfast foods are bananas and peanut butter (together).

While at the hardware store, designer Erica Anenberg was inspired to recreate everyday objects–such as the tab from a soda can–in jewelry form. Pairing the soda can tab with a nail, drill bit, and a nut, she created a "junk" necklace that looks anything but.
Fun fact about Erica? Although she’s creative and fashion forward, she has a super geeky side. She’s been known to take apart radios and other electronic devices, just so she can put them back together.
