Claire Lowe / Shana Astrachan

UK jeweller Claire Lowe embeds resin with bits like wool and tea leaves — just the things you'd want on a cozy autumn evening. (I hear there were complications embedding a roaring fireplace.) Her work is modern, serene and gorgeous.

Bonus link: not all wool has to be cozy — this ring by San Francisco's Shana Astrachan resembles two scoops of frosty sorbet.
