When it comes to jewelry, you take the whole game very seriously.

Which is why you’ll want a monopoly on Artemas Quibble.

The hard-edge designs are created by local artist A. Jason Ross. He creates each piece from antique objects, leather, and solid silver and brass.

We love the dripping, cascading necklace made from hide that fastens close to the neck but has long leather strands and circles mixed with metal disks that drape over the chest. The bracelets are dainty in detail but have a tough edge, with thick, worn leather gauntlets and badass silver bits or filigree. The necklace with a bold eagle dangling from a delicate sterling chain isn’t to be scoffed at.

Whichever you choose, don’t be afraid to stand out in a crowd.

That would be balderdash.
