If you had been paying attention to Bauble Bar last month, you’ll remember the whimsical charm necklaces from Samantha Freedman’s jewelry line Samantha Faye. (Who can forget that pineapple? Swoon!) Samantha is a third-generation jeweler who left her career as a lawyer in 2011 to follow in the footsteps of her grandfather, father, and now, brother. There are dozens of charming – and affordable – designs to choose from.

*The Fractal rings were just released today and you’ll have a chance to win one tomorrow! Bec’s team graciously sent one over to me earlier this week and I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s the perfect everyday ring.

Designer Emily Wheat Maynard explored the relationship between Italian Renaissance and ancient Greek and Roman jewelry for her Masters thesis at The Bard Graduate Center for Decorative Arts, Design, and Culture in New York City.
