The Cork Cuff designed by Donna Piacenza and produced by Studio 1AM employs 100-percent-recycled natural cork as a wearable material. Each piece is cut from a single block previously used for storage or display. It's also unisex—perfect for the boy on your list who sports a little bling.
Felt is a woefully underrated fabric. With a little effort, it produces bold cuts and modern lines. Deborah Brackenbury has taken it a little further, designing a sleek, urban bag that any guy or gal can wear around town with a dash of swagger.
This wonderfully striking and elegantly simple bracelet is crafted by Dinosaur Designs. It’s a stand-alone piece to be worn as an object d’art. Manufactured out of resin, this should be treated like a cherished ceramic heirloom.
This geometric design has an architectural sensibility. I swooned over the laser-cut bamboo and gold-filled hardware crafted by San Francisco-based Folia Design. Part city grid, part Mondrian, all style.
