Sweet silver keepsakes

Smallthings, the new jewelry line from Portland designer Teresa Robinson, is replete with little somethings you'll want to collect: rings, bracelets and necklaces with quirky, sweet and offbeat images.

Each sterling-silver disk has an oxidized image and brushed finish. Express yourself with your chosen symbol, be it a light bulb (idea girl?), cupcake, knife (for a chef, perhaps?), love letter or -- perfect for Seattleites -- an umbrella. Other images include eyeglasses, a diamond, an apple, a skeleton key, scissors, a hammer and a retro telephone. Affordable prices allow you to mix and match: Necklaces are $50, rings are $45 and bracelets are $60.

Available online at Smallthings and locally at Something Silver, Bluebottle Gallery, Hitchcock and Velouria.
