A note on jewelry

Soixante Neuf hammered ring, vintage Taxco silver cuff, Number (N)ine snakeskin cuff, vintage cross bracelet, red cord bracelets w/ Astley Clarke pendents attached

I've always felt that jewelry was my most accurate self-assesment test. Although I'm still in the process of collecting, I think I'm beginning to feel pretty happy with what I have.

i think forsome people they think of in termss of an accessory and yet others see like you . that s its a deep expression of who we are .

i think when you invest in apiece then its defintely that way .:)

Those red bracelets are so simple yet so eye catching...the hammered ring is pure greatness too.

Furthermore, any post ending with ninjas is an excellent post! It cannot not be.

Wow I love your collection so far and House of Harlow is amazing. I wish I spent more time/effort/love/money into jewelry but for some reason they always go to shoes :( Need to work on that! Thanks for the tips Lulu


And I'm doing an Elizabeth & James giveaway on my blog, i'd love for you to enter!

I love your jewelery choices. I'm usually kind of iffy about mixing silver and gold, but you make it look fantastic and effortless. LOVE it.

This stuff really kills me. Just, really painful. Because my boyfriend has this thing, where he is totally disgusted by jewelry. Kind of the way some people hate the feel of velvet or foam. But with jewelry. I've come to medium terms with it, but its gotten even harder now that he works in the same office as me so I can't even wear jewelry to work. Because I really, really really love big chunky jewerly made with rough stones and hammered metals and.... sigh.

Just: sigh.

^why let a boy dictate what you can or can't wear... seriously, if he doesn't like it that's his problem. weird

How I wish my wrists/fingers were like that! I think there's something incredibly sexy about manicured nails and lots of finger/arm candy.

First of all, I love that the companies name is "soixante neuf". Sounds so classy, because it's French, but it means 69. Made me giggle a little.

You should definitely check out House of Harlow. The quality is surprisingly good, especially considering the price, and the stacking rings are a great way to tie in both silver and gold.

Ashleigh said...

love the ring..I have the same one ;)

Winnie said...

I don't wear an awful lot of jewellery but the pieces I do decide to wear are all favourites!
