Some of that GoodWood…

Now that I have your attention….

Good Wood in NYC is one of my favorite accessories stores online.  One visit to their online store and I was hooked. It features earrings, necklaces, and hand carved knuckle rings. Yezzir, I did say they have knuckle rings. It happens to be their stamp product. I just checked again and it looks like you can submit requests for a customized knuckle ring of your saying/design. These are all hand carved out of real wood by Kerri O’Connell (designer/founder) and her team. It’s so reasonably priced for something so unique, so original, so Hip Hop, and so fashionable. How can you possibly hate on these? Hey if you think you can rock them, then rock ‘em all the way. Here are couple of my faves…
