NEW JANUARY JEWELLERY

22.1.15

There's nothing better in the New Year than New Year Love.

Be it with a human, a new pet, a new winter coat.. For me this New Year it's definitely Love with my Nikki Stark Jewellery.

Nikki's inspiration is varied but her creations are divine and Nikki loves leaving space for others to give their own interpretation to her pieces.

Nikki's Stella Rings are flying saucers, seed pods, smarties. Her Anastasia charms are Christmas baubles, pendulums, sweets, or to one girl she met at a fair, spinning tops in the Istanbul market she visited with her father as a child. Everyone has their own interpretations of these exquisite designs.

Nikki works generally on a small scale. Delicate, almost fragile in appearance. They don't make a huge statement, but her designs tell a story, and I love that.

Nikki Stark's pieces are intended to be lived with for many years, to be a small statement of individuality, something that's adore for time.

Her designs are available in Sterling Silver and 9ct Gold, and in 18ct via special order.

All pieces are made by Nikki to order, slight differences from piece to piece, but that's what makes her creations even more unique, as Natural stones can vary hugely in colour too, and sometimes in shape.

Her creative design options are endless, send Nikki an email if you have something specific in mind too!

Nikki's designs arrived in gorgeous boxes, stunning packaging and really gorgeous photo post cards too.

In the first box I opened from from Nikki Stark, I was greeted by the most amazing subtle statement ring, her Silver Sally Ring.

So unique in design with gorgeous waves and carves, so elegant and perfect.

I love rings as it is and I love wearing lots of rings, but not so much thick, heavy, bulky ones I much prefer a delicate subtle statement ring that has such unique beauty and is a manageable size so it can we work for all occasions, smart or casual, day or night and this is where my little Silver Sally is just perfect!

In the second perfect little box of January Jewellery Goodness, was Nikki Stark's Skinny Midi Ring and Wishbone Midi Ring Pair that look absolutely beautiful stacked slightly separately on the same finger giving a cool abstract feel, so fresh and on trend.

The Rings are just stunning, dainty but such quality and are lovely mixed and match with other jewellery too and even more perfect on a statement nail polishes finger.

In the final box of beauty was the most beautiful silver necklace, her name is Anastasia (No. 3 to be exact) and she has added a new life to my necklace collection!

I love switching between statement necklaces and dainty necklaces for different outfits, styles and occasions but I always find it difficult to find a dainty necklace I fall in love with, and I definitely, definitely fell in love with Anastatia III.

Reminding me of orchid buds and spring is such a nice interpretation to style up in the winter reminding me of snowdrops and the warmer months, and with beautiful shiny silver tones is a gorgeous, gorgeous necklace charm that I love wearing with a plain tshirt and my fur jacket exposing Anastasia's subtle but undeniable beauty.

As I mention, my Ananstasia Necklace is No. 3, and she's available in other sizes too! (No. 1 and No. 2)

Her sisters vary in size from a slightly bigger double bud to a triple bud charm which allows you to choose between the more subtle or more statement of the sisters, and they're also available in Silver or Gold too, so whichever your preference she's available.

Nikki's designs are just stunning. It's rare to find jewellery so unique that has so much character but that your not scared to wear, and to get such unique pieces that aren't offensively expensive.

Nikki's designs are the perfect treat for jewellery you'll treasure forever, they're also the perfect pieces for gifts.

Every girlfriend, mum, Nana or sister loves jewellery, and what's a better gift than a stunning unique piece that you can't buy just anywhere. Nothing is better than a sentimental gift, and nothing's better than a sentimental gift of jewellery.

Be sure to check out Nikki Stark's Website (http://nikkistarkjewellery.co.uk) where you can view and purchase all her unique jewellery collection, and begin you interpretations of her incredible jewellery talents and her amazing designs and fall in love, just like I have.

GAILS GORGEOUS VINTAGE

4.11.14

When I attended Bloggers Love Fashion Week a few months ago I was lucky enough to meet some amazing brands and one of those was the amazing and incredibly unique Gail's Vintage.

Gail's Vintage offers a hugely creative unique range of handmade jewellery using a range of materials, items, textured and colours all combined together to great her one off unique products.

I was lucky enough to receive some exclusive Gail's Vintage products made especially for me, which I am so excited about!

Gail's Vintage collection are perfect statement pieces with different colours and materials combined together they're such interested pieces and are more like art.

Gail's jewellery isn't like you Topshop, ASOS, general high street jewellery each piece is a one off unique piece handmade, using items such as Keyring rings, large pins, pearls, tassels, metal chains, colourful plastic chains etc and many, many other unique materials that make Gail's piece so fabulous!

I received a pair of black and blue tassel earrings, chain mail link necklace and chain mail bracelet.

For this amazing unique handmade trio you need no other statement items in your #OOTD, Gail's pieces are such amazing statements you only need to wear a basic outfit such as a black plain, jeans and tshirt etc to let Gail's Vintage jewellery truly shine and take the outfit by storm and hold the outfit at one with the perfect statement by themselves.

I LOVE my unique handmade Bracelet by Gail's Vintage that gorgeous chain mail and plastic coloured chained are all linked together with Keyring rings, clips, large pins with pearls and jewellery all together.

The unique piece mean it's not like your usual bracelet, this can be opened in many places and worn on your wrist or even on a handbag as an accessory to add that statement aspect to your plain bag.

My favourite bit about my Gail's Vintage bracelet is the large pin, I've always loved vintage accessories and this combination of modern and old accessories and materials combined together to create such unique pieces.

I adore how the pin contains some stunning mismatch jewels and pearls that work in absolute harmony with the other material accessories.

Each of Gail's jewellery designs come with an adorable engraved Gail's Vintage branded tag which is in a gorgeous heart shaped design which I just love!

I wore my trio of stunning unique handmade statement pieces with my turtle neck dress from River Island that is a plain grey fabric which is the perfect time to let the statements make their perfect statement against the plain tone, taking the outfit to a whole new level which would be matched perfectly with a coloured court shoe and coloured clutch bag.

The second piece I received from Gail's Vintage is these gorgeous black and blue tassel drop handmade earrings that are absolutely stunning!

I love the combination of black and blue as a lover of black and monochrome myself I always love adding a pop of colour to my outfits where these earrings are perfect to pair with a blue nail and blue shoe and even a blue tone eyeshadow for the evening look.

The black diamond pattern design piece shouts 20's and 30's design era to me which makes me adore these earrings even more with their vintage feel and perfected with the blue tassel and gold ball aspect, they're the perfect statement earring to wear alone or with the other Gail's Vintage items.

All Gail's items come with a Gail's Vintage branded tag which has a handmade feel about it bringing all the pieces together and emphasising their handmade beginning.

I love this trio as a jewellery set and think the little aspects in each that bring them together as a set is stunning and subtle enough for each as a statement piece to be worn together with the tassel aspects in the earrings and necklace and the chain mail links from bracelet to necklace mean they make the perfect set to brighten any outfit and add that unique fashionable edge.

The third piece is my Gail's Vintage Necklace which I love as it 2 layers which is common in Gail's designs and make them recognisable and even more unique and true to her homemade unique brand.

The necklace can be worn in so many different ways however you prefer it which is another reason I adore these unique pieces.

I love anything with a tassel it brings out the 20's flapper in me from one of my favourite vintage eras and I think it's so clever how Gail's managed to find that happy medium between the old and new in her designs which make them such desirable piece for all tastes.

These amazing handmade designs are just amazing and would make the perfect gift for Christmas too, such a unique set/piece that anyone would be grateful to receive that probably haven't come across such different designs before.

I love wearing mine as a set or piece by piece letting them make their own individual statement. These handmade design are so versatile and just perfect for so many peoples taste and bring tastes and desires together to with their mix of old and new.

Gail's Vintage designs are perfect for that unique jewellery confidence boost with the bright pieces subtled by the various gold and silver tones from the different chains. Each time you look at your Gail's Vintage design you'll see something new you missed before, they're so special.
