Babies just love to pull, bite and suck on jewelry, and thus wearing jewelry while holding a baby can be potentially dangerous for both baby and the jewelry.

But is it any wonder that babies become interested in your bangle or necklace while sitting on your lap? It’s all straight in the babies face screaming “come and get me!”

This is why I think the concept of teething jewelry is simply brilliant, as it replaces all those potential dangers with safe teethers.

SmartMoms Teething Bling is a series teething jewelry consisting of teething bangles (12.75 USD), teething pendants (19.10 USD) and teething keychain charms (15.90 USD) in many fashionable colors.

The teething jewelry is made from a food-safe, phthalate-free and federally-approved silicone, making it completely safe for the baby to chew on.

There are gift boxes available, containing color matching teething jewelry. These gift boxes cost between 28.75 USD and 36.00 USD, depending on what’s in them.

You can buy SmartMoms Teething Bling at the SmartMom website.

I love the way some creative minds uses worthless waste to create beautiful things. It’s like they take what you throw out one day, and sell it back to you the next day, only it looks fantastic when you buy it back! It’s ingenious!

Free People is an online store, and a brand, offering fabulous clothing, accessories and shoes, with a sort of modern hippie look.

My favorite part of their site is the selection of stylish sunglasses. The use of color and round feminine shapes in their glasses are so lovely, and it makes me daydream of summer flirts, sunny beaches and road trips.

What’s so great about the Free People store is that it offers everything you need for the “hippie style”, so you’ll have no problem finding what you need to make your own fabulous outfit.

I just came by this gorgeous Skull Pendant by Lyie Van Rycke. It is on sale right now at kim&maki for USD 55, compared to the USD 88!

The skull is vermeil, which is gold-coated silver, and it is hanging on a cotton cord.

The Skull Pendant has a slight rough touch to it, which makes it a perfect everyday necklace.

It looks like kim&maki has a lot of good bargains, so if you’re looking for some nice jewelry for teenage kids this is a great place to check them out.

When kids only need to take small stuff like keys, wallets and phones with them, it’s great for them to have a small pouch to keep it all in. Anatomy Of A Skirts handmade Robot Pouches are small, practical and cool looking.

The Robot Pouches are made out of silver or gold vinyl, which makes them water resistant and easy to clean with a damp cloth. They open by unzipping their mouths, and I think they’d work just as well as small pencil cases.

The Robot Pouches, along with lots of other cool accessories, are available at Anatomy Of A Skirt.

Fun and colorful bracelets made from silver and beer/soda cans. The soda and beer can pieces are secured to the bracelets with sterling silver rivets, and silver end caps protect the ends.

There are a few different versions to choose from, e.g. Lucky Lager, Coca Cola, Sunkist, Guinness, Dr. Pepper and Tab.

Since the bracelets are made from actual cans you can rest assured that you are doing your bit to “staying green” so they offer both a stylish way of showing your taste in both beverage and your environmental consciousness. Very treehugging.

The bracelets are made in Vermont and can be found at Elsewares along with a wider version of the cuffs along with matching rings.

Littlearth makes purses and accessories from old license plates, tire rubber and bottle caps. Although not all material used in their products are recycled, they have an admirable aim to use an average of 50% recycled material in their products.

Besides the ones which still resemble license plates, there are lots of purses with beautiful graphics and some are even adorned with Swarovski crystals.

In one of their lines, Pro•FAN•ity, they use the graphics of the 32 NFL teams. The line consists of purses, CD holders, photo holders and auto seatbelts amongst other products. The line is perfect for girls who want to be fashionable while supporting their teams.
