I love quirky handmade jewelry. There are a few designers I adore, like Keeley Smith (I buy a small piece in Nantucket every summer, and I’m budgeting my way to her “Little Things” charm necklace), St. Kilda, Jessica Hicks (another Nantucket designer), and Pyrrha. I discovered Pyrrha a few years ago, long before they garnered the attention of the glossy mags and the venerable New York Times. I bought their dog pendant … it’s a subtle way to display my love of dogs.
Last month, Pyrrha’s announced a little contest … “Take a photo and show us how you wear your Pyrrha jewelry.” Two seconds after I received the newsletter with the announcement I was outside taking this shot:

The text translates to “Lead, but not with force.”
