i am pretty fussy when it comes to jewellery. i can appreciate beautiful pieces but actually wearing something is a different story. i don’t like anything gaudy or flashy and i really, really have to love something in order to wear it. so -my eyes almost popped out of their sockets when i saw this ring by mirta jewellery over at amateur couture. the designer andrea simic is an architecture student who makes jellewery on the side. i would wear all these pieces.
you may remember the jewellery by oh dear megan from alix’s things i like right now post. i really love megan‘s stuff, especially the pieces that incorporates old south african pennies & military buttons. the pieces made from watch parts also have a great steampunk feeling to them. my kinda jewellery. you can buy some of her stuff at spence now.
remember the vintage collections of caterina gabelli? well, she’s part of an italian collective called studio fludd. i spotted some of their new work via mallory‘s tumblr. what a talented bunch of people. buy their stuff on etsy.
yippeeeee your dreams are about to come true because skermunkil has a new etsy shop! i think they’ve just about out done themselves with these cut out antique spoon necklaces…
marietjie & her team at skermunkil have been churning out amazing stuff for the design indaba expo this weekend (from today the 26th till sunday the 28th). i’m so looking forward to seeing their stand (and perhaps making a sneaky purchase)
just bought this ridiculously adorable necklace from mary mary handmade
*dies of happiness* ps: sloths are my favourite animal, you know.
heeeeeeeee

My little world is a happy recycling, a small jumble of flea market where you find the jewels fell into disuse. Each jewel that I put in point is a unique piece with a carefully considered composition. Remixing pins, buckles, buttons, watches, often of no concern to people… Each model is assembled by hand in my workshop from the 11th arrondissement in Paris
