Animal Orchestra style

I like this look from Nadia Bailey, an Australian fashion blogger I follow. I am particularly into the Yves Saint Laurent necklace worn with the all black outfit. However I'm thinking for ordinary folk, there must be a curtain tie or DIY project that would better suit, rather than paying £310.12 + P&P for the privilege. Let me know if you know of any!

Plastic Fantastic

Perspex jewellery by two great, British brands: Jennifer Loiselle (on Etsy) and Wolf & Moon.

I'm still not bored of galaxy imagery and love the way Jennifer has created her product shots using the backgrounds.

Wolf & Moon have lots of great stuff on their site that appears to be sold out, hopefully they will creating more of those soon.

All this reminds me, I should wear my Nylon Sky necklace again soon that the lovely Alice bought me.

Martine Ali - Jewellery

Another New York jewellery designer. Martine Ali's collection includes cicada rings, holographic eyes and floral collars. She recently designed the jewellery for the Fall 2013 DKNY show. Actually it's her blog I found the train gif image in below.

Flasks for ladies

Spotted this on a blog favourite of mine today, love it! A bangle that looks great, and can be filled with a drink of your choice! Although quite bulky, perhaps would help with arm toning at the same time?! especially if your waving your hands around a lot of the dancefloor. It's available from here.

Paper jewellery

Jewellery by Central Saint Martin’s graduate, Caroline Kernick. She copies jewellery from around the world but only using the materials gouache paint and paper. See more on fashion156.

Stone & Honey

Jewellery by Portland based designer Teresa Robinson of Stone & Honey. Loving the Arcos range on their site.

Odette Triangles

A favourite of mine, Odette Jewellery from New York. Or should I type Jewelry as the Americans do.
Would love a handful of triangles.

Cold Picnic Jewellery

Cold Picnic. The name, reminds me of family picnics in Norfolk as a child!

I particularly like the rope bracelets and rings from this American duo who find inspiration from 1970s arts & crafts, ancient cave paintings, African textiles, and Native American history.

Pretty windows

Shop windows of Myth and Symbol in Houston, stocks a jewellery favourite of mine Odette, who I have mentioned before on here. Makes me want to scribble all over the windows now.... Steve?

Etsy Shops part V

Summery rings, pile em on. They look like sweets. I like the way she has styled them. Handmade by AMM Shop and a 10% discount if you buy more than 3 in one go.

Odette NY

Working on the weekend sucks but it's something I will have to get used to now that I am freelancing!
There is always something on the internet to distract you, including the new Odette lookbook.
I do have a bit of a thing for eyes in jewellery for some reason as well.

I spy these bangles

... on refinery's site, and I like. Nice bit of grey with a flash of neon which is all the rage at the mo. The arm belongs to Valerie Boster, bookings editor at American Vogue. She says about one of her bangles "I've had the Hermès cuff for ages and I adore it because I haven’t been so precious with it" alright for some eh?!

Broken Fab - Disco Beading

Found an old bookmark from a few years ago... Disco beading from Broken Fab.

Metal Collar

This would look great with a simple black outfit. Could I make it myself I wonder? Probably not without losing a finger. Its from American site Need Supply.

All for the Mountain - new stuff

I wrote about this site and their jewellery before here. I have been attempting to do stuff with silver recently - souldering etc. Maybe one day I will be able to make stuff like this....!

How not to lose your lighter...

By model Erin Wasson and her jewellery label Low Luv.
Note the price on the product page is not the correct one!

Rings and Things

Rings, bracelets and more by Tomtom.

going on about galaxy stuff again....

I absolutely love the idea of combining the galaxy with jewellery and would love to do this somehow with other textures. This is back from 2010 and is or was available from Australian (again!) site Drown.

 

Etsy Shops Part I

I do have a bit of an obsession with Etsy, and I tell other people to check it out but they don't get it. Probably because there is an awful lot of shite on there. However if you have the patience you can find some amazing things and they often come beautifully packaged with a handwritten note or arty postcard or something. There is a sort of English version 'Folksy' but its a long way off its rival.

Anyway I have decided to regularly post about shops I have come across and here is the first.
It fits in nicely with this strange obsession I am having with diamante stuff strewn together from old bits of jewellery to create wonderfully garish, eye catching pieces.

These bits are from a shop called  Dolores Petunia and is based in LA.

More bling

I'm booking myself a silver jewellery course this month, v excited.
