I usually don’t go in for themed jewelry. You know what I mean. Heart shaped earrings in February. Pins that light up on December. I leave that to my mother, who not only has earrings and necklaces for every holiday, but matching outfits too. Thanksgiving? Out comes the turkey turtlenecks. Fourth of July? Red, white and blue from head to toe. And St. Patrick’s Day? Don’t even get me started on St. Patrick’s day (and the woman’s Jewish for God’s sake!).
In other words, when it comes to jewelry, I don’t go for cute, or even representational. Give me a set of coral beads, or an antique cameo set in gold and I’m happy. Which is why I was so surprised to be seduced by these little trinkets by Fabiana Fusco I saw at the Mercato Monti on Sunday. I’ve passed up many a zucchini or pumpkin necklace over the years, even though I’m a ‘foodie.’ But somehow, these little creations, full of pots and pans, forks and knives, and even colanders won my heart. Maybe it was the display: half submerged in little sugar filled demitasse and egg cartons. Or maybe it just made me nostalgic for my old doll’s house.

The pan and spatula ring is awesome. Miniature designs looks like the best trend in jewelries. I also like the teacup ring, it looks pretty neat.
Wow! This is the first time I see a kind of jewelries of this type. These rings and earrings are really cute.

I love the designs of the rings and earrings. The unique designs made them very compelling. I would love to wear the ring on the left photo. It looks gorgeous.
These are really fascinating. I’m sure my friends from culinary school will love this! Well, how’s that for an idea? I should probably give this to them as a gift.
