Uncommon Goods Jewelry Contest

Uncommon Goods is hosting a monthly contest to find unique handmade jewelry for their website. They are looking for fresh designs, interesting materials and jewelry that tells a story.  Do you have what it takes?  Enter your favorite design today and see what happens - you never know!

Here are some of my favorite handcrafted picks from Uncommon Goods to give you a feel for what they are all about.  You can also see some of the current designs from last month's challenge here.

Above, clockwise:
Blue Pinecone Necklace from Nancy Nelson are brass pendants cast from real pinecones, so sweet and precious!
Reminder Breath Necklace by designer Yayoi Inada is etched sterling silver and handcrafted.
Parchment Blossom Earrings are the creation of Margaret Dorfman. The flowers have petals and leaves are crafted from thinly sliced vegetables! Not that is uncommon!
