It’s the only company in the world that produces 'Skin Jewels'; adhesive jewelry that is applied directly to the skin. Glamour, innovation, sensuality, femininity, creativity and individuality come together for an exciting and trendy product that really goes beyond all standards.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhASE8kD7N4hyphenhyphensUFurMc-cRnEeYqDG5bFGWtAsFtfFG1mo4AfaBHRPKCn3-FQ2MK4zEdsSDvZgmo9IeZ0IJ5SvIEhdBT_pgN6tBMHU33svXCHvJF8B2ogFUZnFAwzeowhyx2nTZBRuWEmJU/s1600/NEWd+jewelry3.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5653748672360613010" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhASE8kD7N4hyphenhyphensUFurMc-cRnEeYqDG5bFGWtAsFtfFG1mo4AfaBHRPKCn3-FQ2MK4zEdsSDvZgmo9IeZ0IJ5SvIEhdBT_pgN6tBMHU33svXCHvJF8B2ogFUZnFAwzeowhyx2nTZBRuWEmJU/s400/NEWd+jewelry3.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 526px; height: 318px;" /></a><br /><br />For those of you who don't wish to permanently pierce or tattoo yourself , NEWD is a fun alternative for body ornamentation. They carry simple geometric shapes in various sizes, the requisite trendy shapes such as butterflies and hearts, and some bolder and more unusual pieces. White, rose, and yellow gold, polished or satin finished, gold-plated, enameled, embellished with pearls, Swarovksi crystals, precious stones and more can be applied on your back, neckline, arms, belly or wherever you deem desirable.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKJSXQQFXEIYRAITAE9JcsuJxhm76-Y8YHpM3xvdQgnK-X5EbriooOUAYvaN480Xgm5w8P9pgqSK3VczAop7lq5f-ZrYP3EAZXxxQpzfXwIdmEjk29tQpMVy5LlTV2ZhbLEfF5YPrPc_qx/s1600/NEWd+jewelry2.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5653748731658626770" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKJSXQQFXEIYRAITAE9JcsuJxhm76-Y8YHpM3xvdQgnK-X5EbriooOUAYvaN480Xgm5w8P9pgqSK3VczAop7lq5f-ZrYP3EAZXxxQpzfXwIdmEjk29tQpMVy5LlTV2ZhbLEfF5YPrPc_qx/s400/NEWd+jewelry2.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 528px; height: 300px;" /></a><br /><br />They have five collections of different shapes, styles and metals.

In Landscape, I’ve taken a break from the real natural materials--leaves, pods, seeds--which have compelled my work for many years to create miniature, artificial worlds within the context of jewelry. Working with model railroad landscape materials lets me create tiny snapshots of the natural world, scenes that can trick the eyes into believing they are seeing something much larger. In several pieces, this deceit is challenged by the combination of these small constructed natural forms with full scale, cast sterling branches, buds and leaves which, in material, are equally unreal and illusionary." -- <a href="http://www.sarahhoodjewelry.com">Sarah Hood, Jewelry Artist</a><br /><br /></span></blockquote><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.sarahhoodjewelry.com/"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5644609921710709906" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlr4LU6G1yLi0cWFd90PlwuqTFt2k0IS9cKmOq6rFSxlcbm9FZl9ZGAyjB5-d-8bc5sfUIWEhXQp1KI4tkqrNtyLZv6LpYDFOsP-V9Is3gpkeqzVzQAvU2oi8SyjWwbRZh5dFeLhsdTW3O/s400/Screen+shot+2011-08-24+at+8.46.01+AM.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 349px; height: 132px;" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />In addition to her inventive landscape jewelry/art, she creates what one might consider 'more wearable' pieces in gold, silver and enamel.
