So Over Antlers

pine cones.jpg
Lately, you can’t walk down the street without seeing antlers – whether in jewelry, screen-printed t-shirts, or bar decorations.

We think they might be going the way of skulls, and so we’ve moved on to pine cones!

For some reason, New York and Hawaii-based designer Catherine Weitzman’s gold pine cone necklace and earrings are sending shivers down our spine. Maybe because it reminds us of dipping pine cones in gold glitter to make holiday decorations in kindergarten, or maybe because they are cast from real tiny pine cones, but we’re really into it.

maybe because my mom used to spray paint pine cones gold and put them in a bowl for the holidays...

Um, they look like my Yorkie's little turds. In gold! I suppose I can wear them as a symbol of my undying devotion to picking them up every day.

That's what you buy at a gift shop in New Hampshire when you're on family ski holiday.

Anyone in New England would have to wear those with a giant dose of irony.

I don't think you would want to wear them as a matching set, but I like the necklace layered with other ones of different lengths.

Two winters ago I stole a set of a leaf and pinecone dipped in gold from my mother (craft fair cool-ish in the midwest circa 1990). I've been wearing the leaf for 2 years but have just recently embraced the pinecone (which looks just like this.) Hmm. Apparently I was ahead of my time! :)

I actually really like these, and BlueLuxe has many similar designs from Catherine Weitzman. They are my favorite store for this type of handmade jewelry.

These are actually not Catherine's pieces. Catherine's are way hotter and the ones in the photos must be miscredited something. You can purchase the genuine article at www.catherineweitzman.com
