Art To Wear and display: Artful Home

Mooching around for Shibori shawls, I visited a site I hadn’t been onto for a while: Artful Home. Pleased to see it still up and in working order, I was pleasantly reminded of all the fabulous designer/makers that display their wares here. There’s so much to look at for both home – especially if, like […]

Sunday browsing: Grazia Vozza Earrings

Reading Saturday’s How To Spend It – like I need the help, right? – magazine from the FT, there was mention of jewellery by Grazia Vozza, a shop on the island of Capri. Googled it. Love it. Especially the earrings above … so me … but from the 2012 range sold by Bergdorf’s so probably […]

Magnet fastenings by COS

Always on the lookout for easy fastenings, my physio, Farshideh, Birkdale Neuro Physio Clinic , drew my attention to some rather fab necklaces and bracelets at COS, much like the chainmail one above. Pretty, inexpensive and very nice, simple magnetic clasps. I’ve added a few more images below of similar items. If you like these […]

Ear cuffs – do we like or not like?

I like earrings. Maybe I’ve mentioned it before. Big, bold, junk earrings. I don’t really do fine jewellery. And yet, somehow, ear cuffs have eluded me to date. I’m a bit late to this party but, suddenly, I’m seeing ear cuffs all over the place – like the ones from Dreams of Norway (very nice rings […]

Intoxicated with Christmas bling …

Don’t know about you but I am waking every day with a to-do list as long as my arm, getting up determined to destroy it and ending up surfing the web for yet more Christmas … things. I’m not even a jewellery person, particularly. Junk jewellery at a stretch. In fact, when we were burgled, […]

Slide-on bracelets

Continuing on a theme of dexterity, Athena, a good friend, has a degree of arthritic impairment in her hands. As with many such problems, the degree of impairment ebbs and flows but has been consistently bad enough that she has struggled with clasps and fastenings. Athena likes her sparkly things and, being a woman of […]

Magnet fastenings

Many people have dexterity problems, struggling with fastenings to clothes and jewellery. An otherwise non-life-changing illness may often cause intense aggravation through loss of sensation or muscle strength in fingers, wrist, arms or shoulders which prevents us from dressing ourselves as we would wish. Sure, we are able to ask for help but how annoying […]
