gettin' dazed

Lakshmi Menon photographed by Josh Olins for Dazed and Confused Magazine (April 2009). It's (kinda) 'old' but still it's the bomb of jewellery editorials.

Enamel Ring - Lemon Quartz

By Alice Cicolini

24k gold, lemon quartz (top), peridots around the edges, red and black enamel.

It will probably look more awesome when the enamel has worn off a little, it will make it more beautiful and more gracefull

Evangelatos himself carves Pegasus on to these pendants, mind that their real size is only about 1,5 cm in diameter.

Got this necklace from one of my sisters. She bought it at a bijouteri store that sold Faux bijou only and it is a pretty cool necklace, still I fell in love with the clasp and the clasp chain, weird huh?

today 3 from yesterday (cherrybomb)

Cherrybomb.

(Today's obsession: Decades... as you might have guessed by now)

I think these would be pretty cool on a woman, eventhough they look kinda kitsch, depends on the woman.. entierly I guess.... These cherry- like danglers are cool either way.

today 2 from yesterday

Heres another really cool pair of earrings from Decades, if I remember correctly these are YSL. Love.

today

Yesterday I discovered a blog that I absolutley adore for their posts of vintage jewellery. It's called Decades (follow them here!) I came across their blog in the search of finding some cool vintage earrings to show you. The first pair I found on their site was these belov. (Ofcourse all photocreds go to Decades Inc, though I have drafted the original photo)

Vintage Chanel, ruby red Gripoix glass beads with Diamond patterned gold links.

And I do appreciate their sense of humor;

"If you shoulders have been collecting some dust, take care of it immediately with these Chanel shoulder dusters. No one should have to suffer through dusty shoulders when there are perfectly useful earrings that will do the job for you."

doesnt get any cooler

COOL

(Bulgari necklace from 1972, cabochon sapphires, black onyx and salmon pink coral highlighted with diamonds. The coral does not look salmon pink to me but then again the photo might be crappy.. The design is very Egyptian inspired with with the floral patterns being as they are however I get a very faux bijou- feeling from just looking at this photograph.. Whatever, pretty thingie be mine? =) ?)

here we are

The pictures I promised you. Photographed a friend of mine with a pretty lousy camera so ... Better pictures in a few days..

naughty kids adore

Dear Karen Walker,

I have fallen deeply in love with this head piece, so I shall kindly ask Santa for one marvelous piece such as the one above. Who said Naughty kids don't get prezzies??? Hmm?
