Horn Necklace, $62, with a copper tone center bead, black glass bead disks, polished cow horns and silver coils on a nylon rope.
This holiday season, watch out for the Little Feather SF Winter 2011 Collection by San Francisco designer and Academy of Art alum Melinda Rodriguez, who combines an array of exotic materials (feathers, horns, sequins, bones, crystals, glass beads and even rope) to achieve a result that skillfully balances elegant with bold, fragile with strong.
In her latest pieces, Rodriquez juxtaposes delicate and strong elements to create a new line of jewelry that makes a statement while maintaining its feminine appeal. We think the rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings are perfect for gift-giving or treating yourself to a little something special. Because gift giving feels just as good as receiving, doesn’t it?
Amethyst Crystal Necklace,$36, with Amethyst crystal, copper plate cable chain and Bali copper clasp.
White Paillettes Necklace, $74, made of vintage paillettes (sequins), snake vertebrae bones, carved horn bead and gold-plated pyramids strung on a silver serpentine chain.
Wool tunic dress from Kathleen van der Spek does cozy with a touch of gothic formality, thanks to lace detail that allows the nude modal jersey lining to peek through.
Our very-visual, (almost) chatter-free snap judgment of the day: the delicately feminine and surprisingly cozy black and charcoal sweater dress,$149, hand sewn with lace detail in a wool blend by San Francisco designer Kathleen van der Spek.

Our very-visual, (almost) chatter-free snap judgment of the day: the shutterfly-friendly hand-stamped charm and antique brass chain of the Oh Snap Camera Necklace, $27, from San Francisco designer Holly Doden’s Scene, Not Herd line. She’ll even personalize a charm just for you.
The charm's flip side calls out a familiar phrase.
