Geode to Joy

We think it's perfectly clear that geodes are the coolest things ever. Who doesn't like slices of semi-precious stones?

But let's face it - the Hall of Gems and Minerals at the Museum of Natural History is way too far away from Brooklyn. Luckily, we found another way to immerse ourselves in the secret world of stones.

Jewelry designer Erica Weiner's Geode Link Necklace! A cute little oval of agate is interlinked with a brass chain link and dangles on pretty double chains. It's so refreshing to see gemstone jewelry that doesn't look like you bought it at a tacky souvenir shop in the Adirondacks.

Erica Weiner uses vintage materials and antique pieces that she acquires at estate sales and by doing a lot of travelling and a lot of rummaging. Sounds like fun!
