Tattooed Steel

Tattooed Steel is a jewelry and accessory store that specializes in creating laser-etched products. All of the designs on the accessories are created by a variety of artists, all of which are extremely intricate and unique. Consumers can purchase bracelets, dogtags and even rings from the company (although these items can be quite pricey). Artists can submit their work to the company by emailing them or posting their artwork on the Tattooed Steel myspace page. The designs are very cool, some of them are reminiscent of graffiti designs while others really maintain the tattoo quality. Perhaps one of the coolest pieces of jewelry you may ever have.

Diamonds in the Rough

For most of us, when we hear diamond, we think of something clear and shiny, however diamonds do not naturally have the kind of shine and perfection as the Tiffany's jewels. The company Diamond in the Rough however creates jewelry from the unpolished gem. The rough diamonds give the different pieces of jewelry uniqueness as well as more of an organic feel. For those that have disliked diamonds because of their cold sheen, the rough diamonds may be more suitable for your tastes. That is, of course, if you can afford it. With the cheapest starting at $5,000, these diamonds seem to have already passed the "in the rough" phase.
