Obsession: Orange Peel Enamel

My husband is not stereotypical in any way—especially when it comes to buying presents. Without dropping a single hint, he has a knack for knowing what I'll like and a gift for introducing me to new artisanal talent. At Christmastime, we place a dollar limit on how much we can spend on each other. This little game has forced us to think creatively about gift giving.

This holiday, at the bottom of my stocking, I found the sweetest ring, made by Seattle artist, Jenny. In her ETSY bio, she writes “The thrill of 1500 degrees Fahrenheit...the lusciously smooth surface of kiln-fired glass...the rich palette of rich, saturated colors. Oooh. I love enameling.”

Well, Jenny, we love wearing your enamel creations. Dress those little beauties up or down, they easily and comfortably add the necessary bling to any outfit. And, because she offers such a wide-variety of colors and designs, my husband has managed to provide me with Obsession article-fodder for years to come. Details: www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=15105.
