Don't you just crave something unique? In a world where celebutantes look like mannequins and trends are tired by the time they've just started, I am constantly trying to seek out new and exciting designs that are fresh, original and yet still eye-catching.

LilahV Jewelry on Etsy has uniquely modern designs, all handmade from vintage materials that are stunning statement pieces while maintaining their minimalist refinement. Whether you're looking for necklaces, earrings, bracelets, something for your wedding, or a fantastic gift, the extremely talented creator Amanda Uber has got it all.

Amanda has a fantastic eye for making pretty pieces that have a modern edge and yet harken back to simpler times. She also offers a wide range of looks and each piece, because it's made from hand is completely one-of-a-kind:

- If swoon for ethereal, you'll be lusting after this magnificent Amazonite Necklace with honeydew beads  on a delicate sterling silver chain and the Blue Skies Necklace that is a alluring amulet that will bring peace despite the stresses of your days. 

- Are you a design minimalist? Then you'll fall hard for the Barely There Necklace (that also happens to have appeared on one of my favourite TV shows, The Mentalist) and the heartbreakingly beautiful Silver Necklace.

- Want something a little bolder? The Infinity Necklace with its black links, silver chain and charming  vintage bead gives your work wardrobe a much-needed lift and works with everything from basic tees to LBDs. The Danish Necklace straddles between bold and minimalist. And the Betty Necklace is striking without ever being overbearing - a hard balance to find.

I am currently rocking the exquisite Happy Go Lucky Necklace (pictured above), which makes me happy from head to toe. Bright blood orange, milky white bar, turquoise blue and classic black vintage beads are strung onto silky 16" sterling silver chain, that's less than 1mm wide,  finished with a spring load clasp. Because of the range of colours and its delicate nature, you can wear it with absolutely everything. IN fact, this is one of the few necklaces you'll have in your collection that you wear again and again, yet never tire of it. It's just that amazing.
