Velvet da Vinci
You can actually see the ideas behind these handcrafted gems: Lynn Christiansen puts her food obsessions into a purse that looks like whipped cream, and Enric Majoral’s Mediterranean meditations yield rings that appear to be made of sand. Shows here reveal brilliance behind the baubles; during the Ethical Metalsmiths’ ‘Radical Jewelry Makeover, ’ the public was invited to bring broken trinkets to be recycled into new jewelry, with sales supporting a campaign for responsible sourcing practices.

General Bead
Blind beading ambition will seize you when you’re upstairs among the racks of bagged bulk beads, where visions of holiday gifts for the entire family appear like mirages: multi-tiered necklaces, sequined seascapes, beaded frames, lampshades even. To practice restraint, order smaller quantities downstairs from the bead-bedecked staff behind the counter, who will ring you up on bejeweled calculators.

Gallery Flux
Castro couples getting hitched may not be officially recognized by the state of California - for now, anyway - but there's no mistaking those eye-catching wedding bands from Gallery Flux. Back-lit glass shelves highlight the hypnotic swirls of precious metals in locally crafted Michael Daniels rings, and Nick Dong's brushed-gold rings with polished gems on the inside.
