Love is a strong word and we only dare use it in the most appropriate of circumstances. Fortunately, it seems more than reasonable to stand on the mountaintop and shout, “We love I Love Blocks jewelry collection, and we don't care who knows it!”

Graphic designer Irina Blok's handmade jewelry challenges the concepts of conventional jewelry by employing the use of Shrinky Dinks (a childhood favorite), her trusty Mac and the finest materials available, such as acrylic paints and leather and silk cords, to create an affordable yet trendy brand of wearable art that juxtaposes both natural and man made environments. While diamonds may be a girl’s best friend, these Blocks prove much more versatile.
