Lust List

I stumbled across mention of a shop called Bell and Bird. They specialize in vintage jewelry. I was left humbly lusting after some of these amazing pieces.

Moss Agate Earrings & Brooch in Fitted Box 

English or Scottish moss agate earrings and matching brooch together in original fitted box. Circa 1840/60

French Sapphire and Diamond Ring

 Circa 1912-1920 sapphire and single cut diamond platinum ring. Paris hallmarks.

1860′s Gold Rush Earrings 

 Dating 1860-1880, 18k gold arrow earrings with natural gold nuggets from the California gold rush.

 

I fell in love with these museum worthy pieces. If you'd like to see more from Bell and Bird you can visit their shop here. Caution! If you suffer from a heart condition the price tags might be dangerous.

What do you guys and gals think? Love it or hate it?

Did I StuDer?

These pictures show you how excited I was to receive and be asked to review Anjolee's diamond stud earrings. I started snapping pictures the second they arrived. I'm a sucker for shiny beautiful things and navigating my way through their site for custom making jewellery couldn't have been easier. 

Wear It Out

One of my biggest loves in life is fashion. At the same time, one of the things that bugs me the most is mass consumerism. Wear It Out has married the two in a way that makes me very happy. It's all about up-cycling.

Carlitta Monchitta

It's getting down to that time of year where people start buckling down for Christmas. What better way then to give something unique or handmade? When I found out there was a local folk arts and crafts fair, I was over the moon. I had so much fun this past Saturday. I had no idea what to expect and the place was a little bit manic. There were so many amazing and talented local artists. One of my favourites was Carlitta Monchitta. She makes Japanese inspired vintage jewelry. Quite honestly, they're amazing.
