Quirky and unusual findings, both jewelry and architecture related, are the inspiration for the sisters behind the line Archive Jewelry. They describe their designs this way: our line is fashioned from repurposed architectural pieces, curios & found objects mixed with eco-friendly brass castings, base metal chains and chic crystal strands reminiscent of paste jewelry of a bygone era. we rummage through flea markets, antique shops and uncommon places in search of things forgotten and unusual. french furniture ornaments, moments in time or the type from a lost letter might serve as our inspiration and help us tell a story with each piece of jewelry.

This sweet ring, with the French phrase for I love you, or a stylized “diamond”, is part of their gilt cameo collection, which you can find here; this ring is USD $84. You can order directly from their site.
