Becky Hosmer’s love of jewelry started back in college when she had the opportunity to explore the globe, but it was her time in Bali that led to the Anna Beck collection. She was struck by the intricate metalwork techniques that appeared both ancient and modern. Working alongside a Balinese artisan, she began designing her own pieces and eventually launched her collection in 2003. All of her pieces are still handmade in Bali and leave me yearning to jetset to a far-flung, tropical destination.

Becky is offering B&B readers a 20% discount through Jan. 1 with code ABHoliday. Let me know if you treat yourself!

Beautiful, sensual curves are a hallmark of Karen Hsiang’s jewelry collection, so it wasn’t too surprising to learn she was a former dancer! Her delicate designs are meant to be worn everyday, but they’re even more breathtaking layered with other pieces from the line—or with pieces from your own jewelry box. Better yet, each item can be customized with the metal and stone choice to suit your style. 

Karen is offering a 30% discount to B&B readers through Christmas with code BKAB. I’m actually pretty eager to add a piece to my own collection and finally settled on the crevice ring (gold-plated, moonstone) after spending the better part of an hour winnowing down my choices! Tag me on Instagram (@bedknobsandbaubles) if you place an order, I’d love to see what you pick out!

Ironically, the older I get, the more likely I am to reach for a whimsical accessory. However, it’s imperative that it’s juxtaposed with a sleek ensemble. Brandy Pham nails this sweet-meet-modern aesthetic with her namesake line. I’ve certainly been crushing on her black cat ring, but the needle cuff from her latest collection quickly won me over – almost as much as the heart-melting smile of her newborn! image

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.
