All the Good Metals

Kaisa and Paternoster Designs can't be missed for its incomparable handmade, one-of-a-kind jewelry and watches made from brass, copper, and sterling silver. Jewelry runs from $40-$200, watches $95-$195, and rings are $45. This talented husband and wife team are the designers and makers. Here's a sampling of ladies (left) and men's watches (right):

And some necklaces and rings:





I love how many of the necklaces and rings feel unisex without sacrificing elegance and beauty. I'd share these with a loved one.
But I wouldn't let him wear my earrings, below. Kaisa's designs are lovely and very chic. I really want a pair of those hoops. Yet another special item not to be shared with your guy? This copper choker, which can be stretched to full width, showing, or scrunched up smaller, depending on your mood and your neckline. Clever!
