ARTICULATED RINGS

I love these agressive looking articulating rings. They have a gothic armour feel to them and cover the whole finger.


These have been really popular lately for both men and women. I really feel as though jewellery is becoming more and more unisex. There are loads of rings in Topman that i'm loving right now, they are just too big to wear for a woman. They are really playful and fun and cheap enough to invest in without too much commitment.


Intricately detailed patterns and layered and stacked, these rings are really in your face and verge on being knuckle dusters.


Some of them even include a sharp nail detail. Perfect for a saturday night out in shoreditch!

NICOLAS KING AT LONDON FASHION WEEK

I am a big fan of Nicholas King.

I saw his new collection recently at London Fashion Week Exhibition. The resin pieces mixing a bit of vintage with a bit of mad scientist are irresistible.




This resin necklace is embedded with watch bits and pieces as well as little pearls and other treasures. It reminds me of what you find when you empty your jewellery box out onto a table.



I really love the chain on this necklace, the fan shaped pendant has a vintage shanghai feel to me. Reminds me of my grand mother's costumer jewellery from the 50s.

ERICKSON BEAMON NEON BEAUTIES

I popped down to the London Fashion Week Exhibition earlier this week and checked out some jewellery and accessories. I have to say, this was one of my favourite things to see.


Its the neon vintage collection by Detroit originated company-turned-international-superstars Erickson Beamon. Their stuff is simply exquisite.


The hand painted neon stones contast so beautifully with the vintage settting and the colours themselves are so nice.


Its like mixing a bit a 'street' with vintage which i think is a really nice combination and shows that although the brand is style encapsulated, it also knows how to have a bit of fun with this serious, yet playful collection.


Love it.

JEWELLERY PIXELS

Its been ages since my last post, i know. no excuses. I just wanted to post these big chunky jewellery pieces that i came across doing research. Its no longer about precious metals, not even semi-precious metals. These pieces are about composition and combination.





Most of these are street shots taken at London fashion week last season.
