Iacoli & McAllister

I've lost nearly every ring I've owned. I find bracelets to be cumbersome little things, to be taken off as soon as I get to a desk and at a computer. After a childhood of painful incidents involving hair getting stuck to little hoops, I swore off earrings long ago.

Basically, I'm not a jewelry person. But exceptions are to be made, and for me, it's Iacoli & McAllister. Founded by Jamie Iacoli and Brian McAllister, its designs are guided by industrial design. That means extra sleek, minimalist pieces—pieces that even the most jewelry-resistant people such as myself could not resist. The knotted and re-knotted leather cord (my little attempt at salvaging a well-worn piece) should be evidence enough.
