Bling bling and a pinky ring.

My friend Ainsley makes these super-awesome chunky stone rings.

See?

Pretty, right?

Here’s another one (pay no attention to the scary, scaly, dry editor hands…good grief I need some moisturizer).

I like these so much, and Ainsley was kind enough to haul a whole bunch of stones into work for me to ogle the other day and she’s making me another ring from a dark blue and red stone that I selected.  I’m considering it a Christmas gift to myself.

(Incidentally I’ve been trying to convince Ainsley that she needs to come to Chicago for BlogHer ’09.)

I’m pointing out these pieces today because Ainsley is giving away a really cute little cell phone charm that she made.  As described on Artisan Beaders,

Bright and sunny, this cell phone charm features a glass bead and Swarovski crystals, and is sure to make your phone cheery.

So head on over to Artisan Beaders to check out the contest, and don’t forget to stop by Ainsley’s shop, Kaskaad Homemade Jewellery, to see her other pieces for sale.  (Buying homemade is a great way to save a few dollars this holiday season!)

    Thanks for posting that link! Her stuff is beautiful and affordable! I found something perfect for my sister in law for Christmas. Now, I just have to remember it when we get our bonus money in. LOL.

    Would it be rude and weird and creepy of me to pimp my site in your comments?? If so, delete away… But I too love handmade stuff — so much that I have a whole blog for it. http://tryhandmade.com I hope you like it ;)

    Lovely! Also, if you’re looking for a good hand cream, try ‘helping hands’ from Lush. I looooove it. So thick. Smells awesome. Lasts through at least one hand washing.
