So Fancy
So I was looking through my Pinterest boards to find my favourite recent images, and found I had pinned a few famous couples (ok so Dolly Parton and Mick Jagger were never a couple, but I love the picture) so I combined these with some images from New York artist Baron Von Fancy, who I only just discovered, and now LOVE (he might just have the best name ever) plus a few other images for your enjoyment...
Turquoise
I've been on the lookout for some turquoise stones to make pendants with and finally found some great ones - they are now available in the Natural Pendants category. Following on from my post on crystal meanings I did some research on the meaning and history of Turquoise, turns out it's pretty interesting...
Star Signs
I just added some great star sign charms to the charms section - they are a great way to personalise your jewellery. Like most people, I often read my starsign (Gemini) and if it's good I'll believe it - but if it's bad I think it's rubbish! I am intruiged by them - the fact that they date back to the first millenium BC, and that they somehow connect us to the universe - and just sometimes they are totally right!!!
Crystal Meanings
A few people have been asking recently about the meanings of the different gemstones that I sell. I have a brief knowledge of them but it made me want to research further into the qualities they are believed to hold, which date back to ancient times. So, here goes…
Recent Instagrams
So I've been busy updating the website with new necklace and bracelet combinations (still ongoing!). Next I'll be adding more earrings. A lot of people have been asking when the ear cuffs will be back in stock - very soon! Hopefully this week -
New Charms
I just added some new charms to the website, find them here! I'll be making some new necklace and bracelet combinations with them as soon as I get a chance (I'm doing a bit of work for another jewellery company this week and next - but after that I'll be back full time!). I'm still doing the Backyard Market and Sunday Upmarket as usual though.
Heirlooms
I've been a bit under the weather over the last week (the dreaded cold/flu combination) so excuse the lack of website updating/blogging etc - I've been managing to post orders but that's been about it! But I'm feeling a whole lot better now. Also I'm expecting a delivery of some new charms any day so I'm going to be adding lots of new jewellery soon!
New Pendants Just In!
I just received a delivery of pendants - including these new Druzy ones. They are made of the same stone as the geode pendants (agate) but instead of having a hole in the centre filled with crystals, the entire surface of the pendant is covered in crystals! They are so sparkly I feel that photos don't do them justice, but it's hard to capture so you'll have to take my word for it!
Recent Instagram Snaps
Just a few of my recent Instagram photos including Evil Eye charms (now back in stock), some banana bracelets, a custom monogram necklace, an actress in Ed Wood who I spotted wearing fan pendant earrings (the same fan you can buy here!) and a sneak preview of a collaboration I'm working on with tattoo artist Dom Holmes - very exciting!
Pin Favourites
Here are some of my favourite recent pins on Pinterest - taking in Keith Haring, hand tattoos, a Slayer birthday cake, a classic John Waters movie, some bitchy Disney princesses, a casual Marilyn Monroe and a cute bunny among others...
