Graham Greene once famously noted of himself and men, “I had very good dentures once…some magnificent gold work…It’s the only form of jewelry a man can wear that women fully appreciate.”

If only this were true…of both men and women; then I should not find myself drooling over the hand-made necklaces from New Orleans artist Dejarnette? I wantsies so badly, and fortunately for me, the prices are reasonable.

My favorite is the Paisleys, which is a mere $44 and I certainly covet it. Yearn…Yearn…Yearn.

Dejarnette makes jewelry from natural objects, as well as found vintage objects. Uber drools! While the unique set of necklaces are a bit more pricey, they are certainly worth it for the one-of-a-kind artistry. What’s more, you can also make custom orders. Everything is hand strung and made with everything from shells and bone, to semi-precious stones and modern materials.

File Under: Giftage, anyone?
