Suzannah Wainhouse

I've just recently discovered the work of Suzannah Wainhouse, an utterly incredible jewellery designer who I am now completely besotted with. I'm usually a silver gal but recently I've been drawn to brass and gold jewellery, so Wainhouse's designs tick all the boxes for me. Hopefully I can get my paws on some of these beauties soon!

Full on, head over heels, in love with the utterly incredible jewellery from Lauren Wolf. My boyfriend got me the Silver Stingray Claw Ring for my 21st and I've been obsessing over her work ever since! The necklace shown above is a one of a kind recovered sunken treasure, 15th century spanish coin. Seriously. If that doesn't excite you then I don't know what will! I would happily adorn all of these pieces. If only my bank balance was a little higher! Santa?

While making my christmas list the other night I came across these beautiful crystal quartz pyramid watches by Unearthen. Every watch is one of a kind which I absolutely love, there's something special about wearing a piece of jewellery knowing it is completely unique to you. If santa doesn't bring me one of these lovelies (my list has quite a few options on it) then it's something I'll be listing over until I have one on my wrist. Oh, and that gift wrap...almost as pretty as the gem inside!

Low Luv Spring 2012

The latest and in my opinion greatest Low Luv campaign to date. Since the first collection launched I've been in love, but I have to say that this one is most definitely my favourite so far. Being a mega Wasson fan (I mean, what's not to love?) I'm obviously going to big this collection up, however it has to be said that even if your not as in love with the lady as myself, you can't deny her knack for jewellery design. 

My favourite elements from this collection have got to be the combination of gold and silver (I've only recently started mixing up my metals you see) and of course those pyramid inspired antique coins. The christmas sales won't be seeing me this year, I'll be holding out for some Low Luv goodies. 

Let's have you 2012!

p.s. A note on the campaign itself - Erin, sand and to-die-for jewels in black and white. Perfection.

Alix Bluh

Another lovely birthday present I got from my boyfriend, this one was less of a surprise though. We picked this little gem up from my favourite New York boutique, Love Adorned. There was so many lovely pieces to choose from but this was the one that really stood out to me. The 18th Century 'Eyeris' necklace by Alix Bluh. I had never heard of the designer before but have since done a little bit of research into her work and can honestly say I was blown away with what I saw. When talking about her design concept, Bluh has said "I have always been so moved by the stories found in nature, in time-worn objects, in mourning jewellery and religious reliquaries. I want to create heirloom pieces that are not about fad and fashion, but rather sentiment and timelessness'.

Feast your eyes on her stunning work here.

Thought I'd also share this little video on Love Adorned, it get's me a little sad. I wish I could live in that store!

DIY: Tom Binns Neon Necklace

Top Image www.net-a-porter.com

I've been drooling over Tom Binns Swarovski crystal neon necklaces for a while now but with a £1, 575 price tag I was slightly put off. A few weeks ago in London I was having a little jaunt around Harvey Nichols when I came across the 'Slap Dash' necklace (top image). I couldn't believe how 'Slap Dash' it actually was! Definitely DIY-able I thought. 

If you fancy a little art project then here's what you'll need:

1. Crystal necklaces (Mines are all vintage, bought from vintage parties and car boot sales. I used 3 to bulk it up)

2. Neon Nail Varnish (American Apparel)

3. Small safety pins (I used gold ones for a bit of contrast)

I painted each necklace separately before using safety pins to hold them all together, but you can also use a strong thread or even wire. Slightly more fiddly I imagine. I decided to stick with the one colour, but if you'd like to mix it up a bit then visit the Tom Binns website here for some inspiration!

Good Luck!
