Metal jewelry designer Jamie Spinello's recent creations are inspired by a time that has always intrigued me - ancient Egypt. This is a new fashion trend - you heard it here first. OK, maybe you didn't but I'm putting it out there!

We're revisiting the work of Natalia Gomensoro, otherwise known as metalnat. We first discovered her work when we fell for her plus and minus rings.

3D printing has taken design where we never thought it would go in recent years and it has boldly set up shop in the jewelry world. For companies like Toronto-based Hot Pop Factory, it makes the ability to produce affordable and unique jewelry a possibility, all from the comforts of their own home. Architecture school graduates Bi-Ying Miao and Matthew Compeau began their collaboration and Hot Pop Factory was born with its first collection, Stratigraphia.
