Mother's Day Jewelry
What: Customized Bracelets from Dillon Rogers
Why: By now you’ve probably seen all of the iterations of mom jewelry. Silver, charms. lockets, little people charms, you name it. Dillon Rogers is a design shop that offers a new twist on customized jewelry that’s so retro it’s hip. And irresistible. For Mother’s Day this year, skip the traditional baubles and charms and go for leather. From plain leather bands to leather with silver engraved accents, you can create your own customized piece of wearable art. Go simple and try a thin leather bracelet (in tons of colors) with your kids’ names. Or your husband’s name (how cute). Add beaded charms, or choose a symbol instead of a name. The choices are practically unlimited. Jennifer Aniston loves them, and so will you.

Tell Us: Human Hair Eyelash Necklace - Fun or Freaky?
Category:
Jewelry Poll
Thought you’d seen it all in jewelry? Think again. We found this little number, a sterling silver chain with a set of sleeping eyelashes made out of
human hair. That’s right, human hair. The lashes hang on a sterling silver chain and costs $38. The good thing is that if you wear this out, people will remember you. The bad thing is if you wear this out, people will remember you.
I’m all for being singled out for my unusual accessories, but I’m not sure I want to be “The one with the eyelashes around her neck.” What about you?

Mom Find: Be Your Own Valentine
Category:
Jewelry
What: Triple Delicate Circle Necklace from Five Accessories
Why: Our Valentines—they try, but sometimes they just don’t get it right. Venturing away from flowers or a spa day into selecting jewelry can get dicey for your man. Sometimes you need to be your own Valentine so you know you get it right.
Allow me introduce you to my new favorite item—the triple delicate circle necklace from Five Accessories. This sterling silver necklace is handcrafted by Atlanta jewelry designer Denise Disharoon. You can wear this piece three different ways, depending on how you attach the circles. I absolutely love how the organic shapes pair with everything from jeans and a V-neck sweater to a chic dress. Plus, this is a gift for a good cause—15% of each sale goes to charity. Either drop a serious hint or check this out on the
Five Accessories site. I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Price: $99
