Icon Bricks Are Sterling Silver And Gemstone Lego Like Jewelry & Cuff Links.

above: Icon Brick necklaces are an elegant version of the classic Lego toys

A lot of crafty people (and I mean skilled craftsmen not deceitful or underhanded people) have created jewelry inspired by or made from Lego® blocks. But many of them are either plastic or metal, giving them a novelty and juvenile look and feel.


above: sterling silver Icon cufflinks are the grown-up and upscale version of Legos for men.

The sterling silver Icon collection by jewelry designer Max Steiner is one of the more elegant and tasteful versions of the jewelry homage to the childhood favorite. Available with real gemstones, the sterling silver pieces are fine jewelry with a fun flair.



Available as thick or thin Icon Brick pendants /necklaces, cufflinks and earrings, the Legos aka blox aka bricks are cast in sterling silver and faithful to the classic toy's design in front and back:




The pieces are available in plain sterling silver or inset with emeralds, rubies or black diamonds:




In addition to the actual pieces, the packaging for the necklaces and earrings is a custom hand-crafted and laser engraved Mahogany box:

Mystical Yet Edgy: Unearthen's Bullets and Gemstone Jewelry

A little new age, a little punk and very unusual, Unearthen's jewelry combines raw precious and semi-precious gems and crystals with empty bullet casings suspended on 14k gold. oxidized or sterling silver chains. Unisex in their appeal, the casings are etched with the 'un' from their company name, and the semi precious and precious gems range from tourmalines and aquamarines to pyrite and quartz.

Each crystal has certain properties which are described in depth on the unearthen site and each piece is one of a kind, hand-crafted and takes approximately 4-8 weeks to receive.


Gia Bahm is the creator of Unearthen and lives and works in New York City, balancing her life between wardrobe styling and jewelry design, between summer nights in the woods and winter days on the streets.





The beautiful website by Base / Apex and the look books with photography by Steven Krebs and illustration by Amelia Bauer are worth checking out, even if the jewelry isn't your style.
