For the foodie

Apologies that it has taken me so long to post! I have been flat out planning the wedding, preparing for bub and trying to do some work in the middle of everything!

The good thing is, my wallet has had a bit of a break from my frantic online shopping. The bad news is, that break is about to end.

As a ferociously hungry pregnant woman - I started drooling over this cute pendant from Lucy Folk. What do you guys think? Good enough to eat with some salsa? Buy through Assin in Sydney or online.

For the World Traveller

Can you think of a better gift to give to the avid traveller?

This necklace by Alviero Martini features the "Geo" material (which is basically a gorgeous antique looking map of the world) framed in gold tone and dotted with some Swarovski crystals for good measure.

I wonder if you could even personalise it by ordering a version that showed the countries you had just been to....?

Buy from Forzieri for USD$185.

Eka Poetry Pendant

When I first saw this pendant I was looking at it on the mobile so I thought, "how gorgeous, it's like a thumbprint!"

It's only just now, that I've looked at it on my desktop that I've seen that the engraving is actually a beautiful love poem inscribed across the surface of this pink gold pendant.

I think this would be such a romantic gift, especially if each poem is original. Buy from LUISAVIAROMA for AUD $7333 (approx).

What's that Meira?

What's that Meira? You've made a fabulous sapphire and diamond 'Target' necklace? 

All Little Britain jokes aside, this necklace is divine.  There's something enchanting about the combination of sapphire and diamond with gold. It seems very Mediterranean somehow?

The pendant itself only measures 3/8 of an inch (a little less than half) so it's teeny tiny and can be worn layered up with some other chains.

I actually want this pretty bad, now that I think about it.  Buy from Max & Chloe for US$563

A Most Interesting New Talent

Boy do I love finding new talent.  Even though this is a relatively new blog, you do tend to see the same names come up quite often.  Which is why when I find something new and amazing, I can't wait to post on it.

Gregory Lynn (Rocky) Hard (yes, I see it too), has had a most interesting life - from riding across Afghanistan aged 18 to making a film with Jean Lac Godard and studying metallurgy with North American Indians.  

This "Burning Water - Metamorphosis" pendant is more like a piece of art than jewellery. If you look closely at the citrine stone, you can see a face of a man and woman carved in cameo.  The fluid metal design is composed of 18K white, yellow and green (?!?) gold.  

It's a one of a kind piece and a beautiful manifestation of Rocky's vision.  Buy from Etsy for US$8,660.
