Inspired by nature, jewelry by Pamela Tuohy will nurture your sense of style without hurting the wallet. Made of brass with a resin image and adjustable chain, this necklace would look great with a simple, open neckline, be it fancy frock or a casual tee. The vintage motif will have you thinking that old Aunt Sally set it aside just for you. And the cuff is sheer fun - an instant classic and quirky conversation piece in one.

As a designer, Tuohy believes in creating hand-made jewelry (eliminating the waste involved in mass production) that is ecologically and socially friendly. She uses discarded objects, found pieces, scraps of metal, stone, vintage jewelry parts, and antique medals, beads and materials.  Starting at $85.
