We’ve commented many times over the years that gold never really goes out of style. These last few months were no exception. Check out some of this fine craftsmanship…and remember, if there’s a piece you like, we can re-create it with your personality in mind!

“It’s going to be a conversation maker,” says Lucy Luckayanko. “I will be able to tell people. It will be unique. It will be sort of my unique factor.

Eye jewelry may not be for everyone, but this isn’t the first time it’s been done either. The procedure has been done hundreds of times in Europe and in Los Angeles, but never before in New York City. Until now.

Lucy is getting a new procedure at Park Avenue Laser Vision to implant a small platinum heart into her eye. It’s called Safesight jewelry.

“To me this is just another way to advance the science of ophthalmology,” says Dr. Emil Chynn, the medical director of Park Avenue Laser Vision.

The procedure costs about $3,000. And though it may sound scary, Dr. Chynn says he believes it’s actually pretty safe.

What about you? Is jewelry implanted into your eye going a bit too far or just a cool, new trend?

What is it about floral headbands that makes you want to skip through daisies and sing “songs or yore? Whatever it is, jewelry made of flowers have been around a long time, with no signs of withering in the future.

Alexis Bittar brings his club history with him when he designs jewelry, reckoning back to a Depeche Mode 80’s era but with a more delicate (and creatively bold) touch.

Currently, Boston is the only one of his ten stores to stock the Fine collection ($295—$16,000), complete with dainty settings (tennis bracelets abound) and precious stones. We [Racked] took a moment to chat with Bittar about taxidermy (a signature element of his stores), the case of antiques for sale which he curated himself, and 1980s club scene influences.

Is the former 80s club kid in you represented in your now very elegant designs?

I was going to clubs at 13, and I think it was pre-MTV, there were no videos, no online. There was a real excitement to dress up. People would literally be shocked. At an early age I appreciated the impact of fashion and individuality, and I try to drive that sense of individuality into the pieces now. Middle of the road is kind of like why do it? I still try to be sellable but there’s a life force you want to drive through it.

Regardless of what you think about them, grills (or teeth bling) are all the rage and have been for several years, burgeoning from the wellspring of hiphop music. Here are a few celebrities sporting the look. Does it work for you?

Miley Cyrus wears a gold and diamond bottom grill at Los Angelese even in June. She says she carries several styles in her bag.

Donatello Versace made a splash at her punk-themed Fall 2013 show with these unique pieces.

Figure it this way, if you don’t like them, you can use them for your next home repair.

A Stella & Dot spokeswoman reviews the simple (and inexpensive) ways to mix and match metals this Fall (with an interesting “transformer” necklace!).

Joan Rivers, one of the E Network’s “Fashion Police” has officially declared ear cuffs as a “gotta have” for the summer. And why wouldn’t they be? Not only have they been seen on the likes of Rhianna, Michelle Williams, Emma Watson and Miley Cyrus, but they don’t require piercing, so anyone can give them a try. Jewelers like Roberto Cavalli, Repossi, and Annelise Michelson have been jumping on the bandwagon as well.
