Destiny Ray Jewelry: Look to Portland-based designer Destiny Ray for simple, organic silver pieces that give your look a subtle shine. From cascading, hammered silver-disk earrings to an open-circle necklace, these pieces each have a one-of-a-kind feel. Destiny will even tag specific pieces, like her Word Necklace, with personalized inspirational phrases to encourage you to follow your own—you guessed it—destiny. (destinyray.com)
Fallon Jewelry: Super-size your accessory style with a piece from this chunky, punky jewelry line from New York City designer Dana Lorenz. Lorenz originally made waves with her head-turning Fenton line; this more affordable spin-off features reclaimed ivory and vintage charms incorporated into brass and sterling pieces. Every piece from polished brass bangles to an oversize ring has everyday appeal whether you’re wearing a slick suit or your weekend jeans. (fallonjewelry.com)
Listen Lady Jewelry: Brooklyn-based dishware designer Lorena Barrezueta makes porcelain wearable with her new, conversation-starting Listen Lady line. The sign-language letter pendants come in five styles in basic black or white and arrive adorned with your choice of artwork: the American Manual alphabet, or a love, peace, fist, thumbs-up, or thumbs-down sign. Slightly cheeky, yet still entirely office-appropriate. (lorenabarrezueta.com)
Mani Designs: Unique materials ranging from glass-powdered enamels to vintage embellish Amber Mahler’s fresh, sophisticated jewelry line. Her pieces are sculpture-like with a focus on natural elements like berries and flowers, making them perfect for the office. Bonus: She’ll even accept your old gold and silver to rework into a new design of her own. (manidesignsjewelry.com)
