I love rings and necklaces. They are my main pieces of jewelry. I wear earrings but keep those simple so when I want to put on rings and necklaces I want them to make a statement. I ran across Mica Bones on Instagram and it was love at first sight. Mica makes unique, one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry and they are beautiful and bold and definitely make a statement. For the purposes of this post, one-of-a-kind means not mass-produced. She may make more than one piece the same or as a custom order, but you can be assured she isn’t creating hundreds of a particular piece. I was lucky enough to get an interview with this talented silversmith and wanted to feature her work.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer remains one of my two most favorite tv shows of all time. Joss Whedon’s show started it all and was innovative in its day.

It was a revelation for someone raised on fairy tales, Poe, Carroll, and Dracula. I was obsessed. This post contains affiliate links. If…

We all have our favorite things. I am a big fan of Poe, Alice in Wonderland, Jane Austen, Emily Dickinson, Queen Elizabeth I, and history itself. In fact, this blog could well have been named with a combination of Poe-Alice-Austen since those are my TOP loves. I’m happy to say I’ve found an Etsy artist who satisfies all of these works of fiction and real characters. Tiffini Elektra X has a fabulous (I don’t throw that word around often) shop: Tartx . I have ordered 3 rings from here and they are some of my favorite jewelry. An Edgar Allan Poe ring, Alice and her crown, and I special ordered one of Jane Austen.
