Drawing inspiration from nature, Ayaka Nishi designs are fascinating and perhaps a bit bewitching. Take this rib and spine bracelet, for instance. It features components cast from actual bones and yet there’s an undeniable beauty to the unsettling piece.

A myriad of gemstones is an easy recipe for a knockout statement piece, but it can be more interesting to strip away the glitz and really focus on thoughtful design. I admire the honesty of Cynthia Jones’ organic, rough-hewn jewelry. They’re really pieces of art. In fact, her collection reminds me of the gifts I purchase at art fairs, but ultimately keep for myself. With metalwork this beautiful, who could blame me for being selfish?

There’s a relaxed elegance to Meg Galligan’s designs, which makes her collection of colorful gemstone jewelry so appealing. But don’t be fooled by her carefree aesthetic. This is one savvy business woman. The entrepreneur launched Margaret Elizabeth while attending Boston College. (She even hosted a trunk show in her dorm room!) After working in an online advertising job with Google, Meg pursued her dream full time in 2011.

Samantha Wills’ designs aren’t my usual style, which is exactly why I adore about this boho-meets-vintage-meets-glam line. Entirely self-taught, the native Australian has been called “Australia’s biggest export since Vegemite” and was named a “break out star” by The New York Times in 2011. Despite her rising star status, Samantha is still a down-to-earth gal. She remains the spokesperson for her brand, has a charming blog, and can’t resist salted caramel. What’s not to love?
