Stephen Dweck Turquoise Jewelry

Filed under: Jewelry

I love these big chunky jewelry creations by Stephen Dweck, featuring hand-carved turquoise, sterling silver, and a little bit of coral. Jewels are pretty but I'm a little more casual, so even though it's big (it measures 1" x 1 3/4") a statement ring like this would be much easier for me to wear than a diamond or other sparkly gem. The set, if you wanted them all, includes a bracelet and earrings, all carved in a similar floral pattern with sterling silver. $560 - $870

Lux List: Favorite Egg-cellent Items

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Designers love eggs. Eggs have beautiful, clean lines and a great shape. The egg shape is perfectly symmetrical when cut vertically, but has a soft slope that draws the eye along its curves when viewed as a whole. Egg shapes can and do appear just about anywhere anwhere, in both small and large sizes. We've noticed this, as egg-shapes have come up repeatedly on Luxist, but we still have our favorites. Let's face it: some egg designs work better than others. These are some of the good ones:
