+triangular dispositions+

The triangle is such an interesting shape. It has so many meanings across various cultures, history and sciences.

For instance, an upside down triangle can signify female.

Culturally, each side and corner depicts one aspect, and their combination in threefold creates a a form of being together.

Mathematically it can mean change.

While Aristotles featured them as the 5 elements.

Probably a reason why I love them, there's no single definition for it...

+bday beloveds+

Although my birthday was a week ago, i received some fabulous gifts. The first batch struck gold with arrows and triangles as i've been wanting something like this for so long. She knows me very well despite not reading my blog or me telling her what i wanted ;) Unfortunately i can't find these in the online store of Oliver Bonas, but i found some other things i'll write about later that might wet your appetite.

+ embellishing ears+

birds puff their chests, elephants flare their ears so why not put two and two together? stumbled upon some fun cuffs i might need to invest in...

+make a statement+

I found this amazing site, boticca that helps out independent designers and each piece is so unique that you're bound to get attention wherever you go. I've just picked 3 favourites so far as i'm going to need some more time to peruse this little treasure chest.

Eina Ahluwalia is known as "India’s first Conceptual Jewellery Artist, creating jewellery from her soul". Each piece is handcrafted by master craftsmen in Kolkata to keep alive skills that have been passed down generations, but are being lost to mass production. trained under the pioneering conceptual jeweler Ruudt Peters in Holland, and studied at Alchimia Contemporary Jewellery School in Florence, Italy, where she now acts as India Advisor. She was nominated for ‘Best Jewellery Designer’ by Marie Claire India, two years in a row, and David Lamb- MD, Jewellery at World Gold Council has picked her as one of the hottest talents to watch out for.

The parrot earrings are made by designer Noémie Vaillancourt from Canada. She fell in love with feathers and is using it to expand her inspiration and hopefully a full line of jewellery, accessories and clothing. She's currently studying tailoring and sewing. 

The earrings below come from the Sarah Angold Studio, London, which is a team of design graduates collaborating with their various specialisms from electronics to fine art and theatre. Sarah Angold launched her A/W11 collection at London Fashion Week in February and was featured in British Vogue's 'Fashion's New Generation' as one of its top 25 emerging creatives.  The studio work on all kinds of projects, from installations in the Design Museum and Selfridges windows to designing concept cars for Toyota.

+mums the word part 3+

Joseph Lamsin Jewellery was created by Matthew JL Harris, who is the brother of a friend of mine. it's wonderful to see how well he has done since starting up in 2005. He draws his inspiration from his hometown, Cornwall. His latest collection, 'Sennen' has been inspired by and named after Sennen Cove in Cornwall, and reflects the sea's continual transformation on the Cornish coastline. all jewellery is handmade and can be ordered with next day delivery.

I had an exciting sunday as well going to the beauty expo and spending money i wasn't supposed to, and then going to a raw food cooking course. delich! but enough of that...my new favourite below found at missguided. cheap as chips and delivery next day! love it.

+bird is the word+

particularly loving these wooden, hand carved swan earrings from catbird. makes me just want to admire and touch them the whole time. personally i'd only wear one rather than a pair in both ears.

+tribal fire+

Got a nice little surprise this weekend from a friend of mine. Purchased from MNG, i like a bit of geometric hanging from my ears. obviously a big trend this year in the UK, but i'd rather be subtle with it then flash it all over my clothing. the question is, do we want to promote commercial 'tribal fashion' or support the actual native art?

+tokyo heaven+

I have just spent the day in a fantasy... Well no because it was a wonderful reality! Went to Terminal 21 in Bangkok and "departed" to Tokyo city where all this jewelry was waiting for me! So for now, this is the first of the batch...

+nature calls+

I love Alex Monroe. He makes such beautiful intricate designs that reminds me of my grandmother's jewelry. Some pieces can be expensive but these you have to consider an investment because they are each handcrafted in London and will eventually become heirlooms. My new favourite piece are these earrings which remind me of the 50s, and can be found here.

Fan it: Comfort Station

Was just shown this amazing little gem hidden in Brick Lane, London, called Comfort Station. I hear they've got lots of skull stuff, so i'll be paying them a visit in the new year! but for now, i've got my eye on these two beauts!
