You scouted. (On sale.) You inquired. (One of a kind.) You fell. (Hard.) And just like that, you were out the door with the perfect accessory. (And ran into someone else wearing it.)

Keep repeats to a minimum with Cuyler Hovey-King’s inventive jewelry line.

The Fayetteville designer’s pieces range from sublimely original (geometric cutout rings and enamel orchid pendants) to delightfully fanciful (little lamb brooches and chipmunks on gingham-print bracelets).

Most of Hovey-King’s handcrafted designs mix vintage lace, sterling silver, and rose gold with natural touches. Commissioned orders come with stamps of authenticity to ensure wearers won’t see them again.

Which is more than you can say for your old dinky door knockers.
