At first thought, a degree in Architecture might not be the most rational first step into a jewelry design career, but for Eugenie Huang of Deka Ray, her experiments with shape and materials are of course a direct reflection of her experience with the trade. Huang began her love affair with jewelry as a child and only revisited it as a career path after graduating from M.I.T. with a B.A. in Architecture. I love her deviation from stones, and subsequent use of materials such as rope and wood, as well as oxidized silver(a style bite favorite). Shop her collection online at Gargyle.

Saskia Diez
Munich based designer Saskia Diez won me over quickly. I was smitten after setting eyes on a ring from this season's Love collection: a delicate gold band with a small heart, only seen from the side. I was honestly surprised at how moved one could be by such a simple yet thoughtful piece of jewelry, but that sums up Diez's work in a nutshell. Saskia Diez launched her eponymous collection in 2006 after a few stints working under the wings of a number of famous jewelers. Her entire collection involves bracelets, rings and necklaces - all intelligently composed of a long list of materials: 18k gold, silver, oxidized silver and glass stones (some of her most recognizable materials). All in all: Lovely. Available online at Style Server and Stand up Comedy. *heart ring (SB favorite): available at Kabiri.
