If you're a nature lover, check out the whimsical designs of Jennifer Sarkilahti, dubbed Odette New York. Taking inspiration from the flora and fauna around her, Jennifer creates a unique line of necklaces and earrings. In addition to the svelte snake are an abundance of bunnies, monkeys, birds, and other cute creatures made from sterling silver and solid gold.

You may not realize this, but making quality jewels is a lot of work. Jennifer's designs are all made from an intricate process requiring her to hand sketch everything, create a wax mold from the sketch, cast the metals, and polish the final pieces. Sounds like a lot of work, but well worth it!

Foolproof Valentine: The Ring and Perfume Gift Set

This Valentine's Day, two Brooklyn brands have teamed up to create one brilliant little present. MCMC Fragrances and Odette New York are a perfume and jewelry brand, respectively, which share a studio space in Greenpoint. And this year, they happened upon a simple but rather canny idea: why not combine their products for the ultimate Valentine's bundle? The result is this cute perfume oil and ring set ($99). It has MCMC's sexy citrus and magnolia fragrance, Love, and an adorable Cupid's arrow brass ring made by Odette. It should appeal to a wide range of giftees: fragrance lovers, jewelry hounds, fans of niche and artisanal brands, etc. So if you're still shopping around, giving this gift a look; it might just be your saving grace.
