Remember the "Handmade Scented Jewelry For Food Lovers" we featured on our blog some time back? Weren't those incredible!

They were all really some mouthwatering jewelry pieces. I believe one does not even need to be a food lover to fall in love with the jewelry made at Tiny Hands. They are cute enough to grab anybody's attention and make them say 'aww'. Because they are so realistic in their looks, they also act as good appetizers as well.

Well, I, being both a food and jewelry lover could not get over them. Seeing the two loves of my life coming together is awesome. Staring at those jewelry and admiring their beauty and simultaneously growing hungry, I decided to know the story behind them and got in touch with Mei, the creative brain behind them.

Read on the our exclusive interview with her.

If you are a jewelry lover and a foodie then I believe you must be searching for a way to merge your two interests together. Well, I got something for you, don't worry I'm not going to suggest you to wear your food or eat your jewelry.

Mei who is a Minnesota-based jewelry maker who makes one-of-a-kind and super cute scented jewelry and accessories inspired by food.

She started her online store Tiny Hands in 2006 and and has been making handmade polymer clay jewelry that look like strawberry ice cream, cupcakes and corn dogs.

According to their website, "Tiny Hands serves a drool worthy menu of scented food jewelry that come in all sorts of candy shapes like cupcakes, donuts, waffles, french macarons, rainbow lollipops and more!"

We have seen accessories made with all sorts of things like wood, shells, alloys/metal and even disgusting stuff like bones and teeth but I bet you have seen nothing like what we are about to show you.

London-based jewelry artist Frances Wadsworth-Jones found a rather unique inspiration for her jewelry and that is pigeon dropping.

Not that Frances actually uses pigeon droppings to make jewelry, it's just that her brooches resemble pigeon droppings in shape, size and color.

Frances has just launched a new line of brooches called 'Heaven Sent'. These brooches have been made using crushed semi-precious and precious gems like black diamonds, sapphires and tourmaline.

If you look at these brooches they look like splattered pigeon droppings.

Our this week's seller of the week - Figs + Ginger is a family owned design and craft company, owned by a lovely couple Rhonda and Elijah Wyman.

Figs + Ginger makes eco-friendly sterling jewelry, gifts wedding and party goods. And is known for the Bird Nestling Mother's Necklace (like the one on the left).

The couple set-up their company in 2007 and jumped into the wholesale market in 2008. Initially, it was a roller-coaster ride for the couple but today Figs + Ginger products can be found in museum shops, catalogs, national and worldwide chain stores and can also be bought online.
