I want em! Wait, I have em...well kinda.
My favorite sunglasses designers at Dita, and the Xanadu style glasses in White/Gold. I just picked up a similar pair in brown at the South Park Flea Market. I really like the white ones for summer, but mine were $15..and these are $350..so I think I can live with the brown ones for a while.
Check out this 10k gold skull pendant from Dogeared, available on Moondance Jewelry. A cute take on the skull design!
One very exquisite cluster ring (thanks Jess!). This is the 18K gold and mixed semi-precious and diamond "Aruba" ring from designer Marco Bicego. Its runs for $1200+! Out of reach, but very amazing...
If I had the extra $500.....I'd go out and find me some Alex & Chloe jewelry...possibly the 14K gold Antler Charm Necklace...or one of the other unique pieces from their new Black Diamonds collection.
My friend turned me onto jewelry designer Dominique Cohen. She's lucky enough to own some of her jewelry, and I am a big fan. I love this look with the varying large link gold bracelet and the coin ring. Her looks are simple, classic and stunning. Dominique Cohen works in 18K rose and yellow gold and fine gemstones.
"Dominique gets her inspiration from Audrey Hepburn; as she had the elegance and chic tast that she wants to portray. She also looks to artists and art from the late 1800's and early 1900's such as Tiffany and Lalique for inspiration..."
Her line can be found at the flagship LA store, the NY store or Neiman Marcus. You can also find the Dominique Cohen for Target line at Target stores.
...that's the name of Digby & Iona's newest line of Vermeil, Gun Metal and Sterling Silver jewelry with "a more acidic take on the popular deer-in-the-woods motif". This is one of my favorites from the line, the 14 point stag ring. Digby & Iona is the creation of NY based designer Aaron Ruff. Ruff originally wanted to be an archaeologist, but ended up at Parsons studying furniture design. Now he is applying his natural talents in his Cobble Hill apartment where he approaches jewelry making with an open mind.
“I didn't go to school for jewelry and don't really have a formal education on it, so it's been a lot of trial and error,” he says. ”Every time I find a new resource like a gold plater or a really good engraver, a whole new set of ideas opens up.”

Add Berlin's Sabrina Dehoff to your list of funky favorites. Sabrina's lines of fantastical jewelry are quirky and have a great sense of humor. She started her company in 2005 and now has four collections: The Little Dreamers, The Little Helpers, Eratic Blocks and her newest line Epigenetics vs. Atomists. The latest line includes dangling gold wrapped pom-poms, gold plated charms and plastic animal charms with gold detail. Sounds a little funky, that's why I like it. The designs are positively ironic and unique. This piece is from the Eratic Blocks/Inhabitants of the Moon collection.
Check out the Sabrina Dehoff site.
Find her jewelry on Creatures of Comfort.

I finally found a piece from Jay McCarroll, Project Runway #1 winner and crazy star of Project Jay. Every few months I do a search for him to see if I can find anything available from his line. I just found this cute canvas and vinyl bowling bag with his signature colorful circle patches on fredflare.com.
How cute is this robot laptop bag, found at Rare Device.
Like all adorable laptop bags, its not cheap. But $120 will get you this cute bag designed by Highway NY in green or white, I'd be happy with either!
