Lovely Bones...

I'm currently averaging about one broken bone per annum in my lifetime, and feel the need to pay tribute to my poor shattered limbs by way of beautiful jewellery. Want want want want want.

Give me romance...

I need this. It's like my life; on a tote bag. Maybe I'll meet my knight in shining armour through the use of it, who will sweep me off my feet and take me to far away places for new adventures. Oh, and buy me pretty vintage jewellery. Heart.

Cut throat...

Apologies for another jewellery post in such quick succession but I simply cannot help myself. I spend hours on end picking up rare little necklaces and rings from quaint little Antique shops and market places, I have a whole room full of trinkets and yet I can't stop buying more. Woe is me, I have a gold necklace addiction. Mary Andrews lives in Brooklyn (I know, I want to live in a metal doored loft conversion in downtown too) and makes these magical little treasures from pocket knives. Oh, and a necklace made from a door key, what else could you possibly want from your accessories?

Incognito...

My my, if this isn't the darnedest best ring I have ever seen. If anyone is still to buy me a birthday present...hint hint. Only problem is, it's all the way over in San Fransisco, made by The Harbinger Co. I can't help but think our little country gets sorely overlooked in the jewellery stakes. Send some our way please.

Eat Me, Drink Me, Wear Me...

Okay so one Disney related post after another might seem a bit much - but I want want want this amazing new Alice in Wonderland bracelet from the Couture range. I have absolutely no idea when, or even what, I would wear this with - but just to have it sitting in my room would make one happy bunny.

Social Signs...

Baptiste Viry's debut jewellery collection is at the top of my wish list this season. Named ''Social Signs'' as each piece represents a symbol or element of recognition on the wearer, the pieces consist of bows and braces, military inspired 'hat necklaces' and watch frame medallions. His designs are full of character yet conceptual too. His work is inspired by time, often a certain era in the past that he can re-interpret into a modern reflection of itself. His interest in combining elements that would have never normally crossed each other makes for fascinating collections. Most importantly though, he has used charismatic little printed bows, which in my eyes is always a winner...
