Great list! I am so picky about jewelry and have sensitive skin. I like looking at Etsy, but the sheer volume of listings there is overwhelming. I love the Dahlia necklace from Eco Lustre, and the price is fantastic! Their parchment cuffs are beautiful and intriguing. I also bookmarked the Nashelle crescent moon necklace.
I do not have any Alex and Ani jewelry as of yet, but have a lot of friends who do. I will definitely buy some in the future!
