Shapeways, The Missing Piece

Jan 10, 2011

Finding interesting pieces of jewelry on a Staffer’s budget can be difficult.  This is why I, and so many of my readers, love Etsy.  So when I discovered another website that allows you to purchase handcrafted, artists designed jewelry at surprisingly low prices, I knew that I had to share with the class.

I miss you! Ring (Shapeways, $14)

Shapeways is a community of designers who create 3-D custom pieces at reasonable prices.  I love this little ring, and at just $14, I don’t have to feel guilty about buying it.

If you’re really creative and/or tech savvy (not me!), you can design your own pieces.  If you need a little help operating the site, Shapeways will pair you with a designer who can help you craft a piece that distinctly yours.  What a great way to give your loved one a personalized gift.

Also, the site sells a lot more than just jewelry.  You can find housewares, decorative items, games and gadgets.  For example, I love this little egg cup.  The bird’s nest design would be perfect for an Easter brunch or as a placecard holder at a wedding.

Shapeways is definitely a great resource for anyone who wants to own (or create) a unique piece of jewelry, a piece of art, or a meaningful memento.  Now, if I could only stop myself from ordering all of the neat little trinkets that I find on the site.  Must use self control…

Beauty Review: Bondi Boost

As I age, I notice many changes in my body. Most are fine. Some are frustrating. Like many women, I lost a lot of hair in my postpartum phase. Being anemic for more than a year after, it didn’t grow back in to its former glory. So I’ve tried any number of shampoos, pills and […]

The Find: Shirts That Don’t Gape

I remember when Rochelle Behrens launched The Shirt — a button-down blouse with anti-gape technology (a patented internal button that keeps the look smooth). The idea seemed brilliant, but at the time, my bust didn’t require an extra button. One baby later, I understand the need for some extra security.
