N.E.R.D’s own, Pharrell, takes to the design world again, this time in the form of jewelry. He has created a line of necklaces using a Mario Kart aesthetic, but far more posh. Seeing him wear these makes me want to sing, ‘ooooooh, I think I love you….’. via high Snob

From NerdLike’s hometown of Los Angeles comes designer Toni Bennett. Coming from a long lineage of jewelers, three generations worth to be exact, she became famous for her one of a kind jewelry and love of bringing a new look to old pieces. Bennett’s passion for history is strongly reflected in her work, creating an aura of gentler times through jewelry.
Last year over the Holiday’s my husband purchased a few Toni Bennett pieces for me that I am absolutely in love with. One of them, a raw Ruby necklace that hits just below the clavicle, is my absolute favorite item [next to my InnyVinny jewels and my wedding ring].
Just because Toni Bennett may not be a name you recognize doesn’t mean you haven’t seen her work. She has sold to tons of Hollywood celebrities as well as their stylists, and her work as been featured in quite a few motion pictures. With something for everyone, Bennett has items for frugalistas and Park Avenue Princesses alike…and the beauty is, no one would ever know the difference.
Toni Bennett is giving one lucky NerdLike reader this one of a kind necklace! This silk threaded beauty is made of Semi Precious Stones, accented with Fresh Water Bewa Pearls and Crystal Brillolet. The length is adjustable, but made to hit at the clavicle. Valued at $125, I can’t imagine anyone not jumping at this!

After getting her industrial design degree and working in several corporate design departments, Molly decided to explore and pursue her love for jewelry design. Molly’s style consists of feminine and flirty jewelry and art, while exploring nature and graphic arts. While Molly is concentrating most of her efforts on selling online, she is already starting to sell in (brick and mortar) boutiques. I am not shocked, as I immediately fell in love with her Geek Collection.
Molly’s Shop is called Molly Stuff, and features a variety of items inspired by different walks of life. Currently displaying six separate collections; Fashion, Glam, Geek, Tree, Initials and Stamped, each one carries it’s own personality as well a definitive aesthetic. Here is a taste of what is in each one.
Molly has been gracious enough to offer one NerdLike reader a piece from her Geek Collection. This collection includes four pieces that you are guaranteed to love. Check them out here:
The Tie Pendant gives you the option to make any outfit office appropriate. It is about 2″ long and hangs on a 16″ sterling silver chain. It looks classy with a blouse but also dresses up a tee.
The Spec’s Pendant is for when you want to accessorize with glasses but can’t find the right pair for you. This sterling silver pendant is about 1″ in length and hangs delicately on a 16″ sterling silver chain.
The Binary Initials is one of my favorites, because it is not only handmade especially for you, but it’s personalized as well. The necklace is stamped with the binary code translation of the letter of your choice. The pendant shown features “m”, or 01101101!
The Favorite Tee pendant is a way to carry around that favorite tee of yours that you just can’t get enough of. This pendant measures about 1″ tall and comes on a 16″ sterling silver chain.
One of these fabulous necklaces is going to be yours, all you have to do is enter!

I could totally see this in Downtown LA or in New York’s Fashion District, but instead…I found this on a blog that I totally couldn’t understand. Either way, you don’t need a translator to understand the awesomeness of these photos. via Fubiz

Three Horses is a fairly new Etsy shop that specializes in creating unique and beautiful objects from ordinary materials. While their shop contains some one of a kind leather bow cuffs, currently, Three Horses is working with various dye elements on fringe. Each piece is all hand done and lives on its own.
Three Horses sent one of their signature pieces [the hand dyed fringe necklace] out to us for a review. This particular necklace transforms from black to gray to nude; from the top down. Featuring black leather straps for neck closures [with additional brass chain for adjusting], this is by far a beautiful and classy piece. Everyone whom I have shown it to has inquired about where it came from, and amazed at the high quality of work. The fringe is also amazingly soft, and feels great against the skin.
While a sad day for me, it’s a great day for one of you, as NerdLike x ThreeHorses will be giving away this necklace to one lucky reader!

Atlantisak calls herself just a ‘lowly beader from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.’ After browsing her shop for a few minutes, some might say that her product is much more, and speaks for itself.
Lucky for you NerdLike ladies [and men who like to gift] she has been gracious enough to give away one of my personal favorites from her collection. The Keyboard bracelet. I am completely jealous of this winner.
This bracelet [valued at 22.00] is made completely of keyboard keys and jump rings. Completely handmade, it closes with a lobster clasp and is the perfect accessory for any occasion. Did I mention I was jealous?
