Jewelry:

Tom Binns, Alice in Wonderland Collection

I'm loving the collections that the new Alice in Wonderland movie is spawning.

Here we have Tom Binn's red-and-black jewelry -- lots of hearts, dark chains, and graphic touches. The keyhole-shaped element in the first piece is particularly apt.

DIY:

Knot Bracelets, from Martha Stewart

Soft "chains" have been a trend lately - there are some nylon ones available at jewelry supply stores that look a bit like this, but some of them are held together with some pretty unsightly glue. This could be a good alternative.

Jewelry:

Digby and Iona Stump Ring

A customizable Valentine's Day gift pick that's reminiscent of Shel Silverstein's The Giving Tree. (I can barely think about that book without crying.) While I'm not sure that The Giving Tree is the best model for a romantic relationship - one person giving all of their self to another, until there's nothing left to give, is probably more appropriate in a parent-child relationship - this ring is certainly sweet, and different. (via Refinery 29, who has another Valentine's gift story here)

I also like their Lost Love Compass Necklace - although if I gave it to someone, I would frame it as a "Love Compass, for finding you, my beloved, etc, etc."

Jewelry:

Pretty necklaces from Lemon Grove, at Fey Handmade.

Love, From War

Jewelry by Yassai 7. Take a close look at the letters that spell out L-O-V-E, and you'll see that they're actually weapons of war. Clever.
