We've never denied our attraction to beautifully crafted shiny things, and here's some more for your perusal from super sophisticated New York label Aesa.

Based in Brooklyn, head designer Randi Mates painstakingly creates each piece by hand in sterling silver, 14k, or 18k gold.

The name Aesa comes from the ancient Greek word for Destiny; and that's not all that is distinctly historic about this range; Mates honed her art at the prestigious Jewelery Arts Institute in Manhattan where only ancient Greek and Roman gold and silversmithing techniques are taught.

Utilising precious metals, crystals, chains and gems, Mates' work is the kind of stuff you're going to want to keep and wear forever.

We're particularly loving the bold pieces from the Fools Gold collection; and reckon you'd look anything but a fool wearing them.
