Finding inspiration in hardware and mechanical parts, artist Connie Verrusio designs fascinating jewelry with a sense of humor.

Her ability to keep her pieces from becoming too precious is seen in this sterling silver bangle bracelet, based on a common builder’s nail.

Intelligent craftsmanship and smart design make this bracelet a unique piece for anyone who appreciates a clever look at the things that hold the world together.

9" circumference; 2.75" diameter, cost: $150
