i love these Art Smith Earrings, above and below – see more on the Art Smith website – and what an interesting story: Arthur Smith was born to Jamaican parents in Cuba in 1917. His family settled in Brooklyn in 1920 and Smith showed artistic talent at an early age, winning honorable mention as an […]
MoreMy Friday afternoon treat has been browsing through some of the fabulous images to be found online showcasing Victoire de Castallane’s beautiful jewellery for Dior, her personal range and, currently, for the Gagosian Gallery exhibition of her work, Precious Objects, on in New York until 26 April 2014. There’s a nice Introspective: Victoire de […]
MoreI really love this Solar Bracelet by Bibi van der Velden but, as an infrequent wearer of jewellery at the moment, I just don’t think I can afford to buy it. at €2,670, to have it sit on a shelf at home alongside the many other pretty things that I have and do not wear. […]
MoreAm still on my re-cycled industrial jewellery kick – ref to Giles & Brother, mentioned previously – and wanting these Devran Decic Black Glass Drop Earrings (above, £180) from Pollyanna in Barnsley … or these mirror ones (below, £160), same designer, shop details.

They are cute, and come in a heart shape from Coops Of London, as well as in gold and silver along with the rose […]
MoreOkay, it’s a bit of a cheat but if you love Pippa Small Jewellery – which I do – and can’t afford it – which I can some, some not – these Sushilla sparklies make a fab substitute at a lot less £££’s. Sometimes only the real thing will do but other times … for […]
MoreI came across some stunning jewellery by Shourouk Rhaiem recently and am loving it more as I trawl across the web looking for it. If you’re taken aback by the lack of black, you should know that if there is one item I love to see with a colour splash, it’s my bling – the […]
MoreFeeling as if I may be late to this party, I’m looking at Delfina Delattrez bling. I love her rings … and I am so not a ring person … er, not a jewellery person at all really. Am I the only person whose burglar, having rifled through my jewellery drawers, left the whole lot […]
