It’s summer(ish), and that means you’ll find me doing at least one of these two things every weekend: yard work (meh) and cycling. I would definitely still consider myself to be a novice on the bicycle, but I really enjoy it and feel so blessed to have GORGEOUS trail options that are available nearby. Exhibit A:
That doesn’t even capture the sight of creeks running through the trees, the sounds of birds, the smell of leaves. Sigh. It’s love.
Since I’ve had bikes on the brain lately, I decided to use them as inspiration for a six picks post. Here are a few of my favorite bicycle-inspired jewelry pieces.
1.
Bicycle Wish Bracelet, pier7craft on Etsy.com
This bracelet is so cute – and affordable! I’ve been a sucker for aqua/turquoise lately, and it’s everywhere! Plus, I’ve been wearing a vintage-looking cord bracelet almost nonstop lately. It might be time to add to my collection…
2.
Recycled Bicycle Bracelet, Re-Cycled Accessories
The bracelet above isn’t inspired by bicycles – it’s made from them! The company that sells it makes several pieces from recycled bike parts. Stylish and green.
3.
Red Plated Vintage Bicycle Necklace, zazastory on Etsy.com
This necklace is more whimsical than the jewelry I usually wear, but it’s so fun that I think it’s worth stepping outside the comfort zone. The bike has moving parts, and the cheerful red color is so charmingly nostalgic.
4.
Marianne’s CZ Bicycle Earrings, Emitations
On the other end of the spectrum, these stud earrings are a subtle tribute to this mode of transportation. It’s hard to go wrong with CZ studs in a slightly abstract bicycle shape.
5.
Titanium Bicycle Ring, Titanium Buzz
A durable titanium ring is appropriate for rugged cyclist types. (Like me – ha!) In any case, I think the tire tread marks and water bottle, among other motifs, are fun touches.
6.
“i love bicycles” Handpainted Wooden Bracelet, Aramar on Etsy.com
Everything about this bracelet is sunny, from the color to the handpainted bicycle motif. Too bad a front basket would look funny on my bicycle. Or would it?
