Silver magpie

For the past however many months Ive started to really collect silver jewellery, especially rings and am currently sporting a different one on nearly every finger each with sentimental value and two of which Ive never taken off since i was 13. I seem to have got ridden of all my gold for some reason and just steer all towards silver, it just seems to look nicer. For a while i loved clashing silver and gold jewellery together especially when i used to wear arm fulls of bangles but wouldn't ever do that now, even though Ive seen some amazing examples of when that really works. Instead of the huge costume jewellery i used to wear i am now drawn to delicate silver swirls, precious stones and thin engraved bangles. Instead of coloured stones adorned with many charms i prefer a long silver chain with one simple silver charm sweeping my tummy button. I have no idea why Ive left my huge bangles, gold charmed earrings and ethnic necklaces, maybe in summer i will rejoice in them again but for now I'm shunning Topshop 'freedom' costume jewellery i used to buy in bulk and instead shimmering delicate silver and i cant help but compile a MUST HAVE list from these very expensive but very worth it jewellery designers. Amazing.


Erickson Beamon.
Although not as delicate as the pieces I'm wearing at the moment, wouldn't this look amazing against a nude chiffon dress and bare legs. Love layered chains.



Aurelie Bidermann.
This having a price tag of nearly £2000 i don't think i can expect anything this beautiful too soon, but isn't it such a gorgeous piece, i am on the look out for a more purse friendly version :)

I absolutely love this jewellery designer, the creations are so unique. I am saving saving saving for the 'love' ring. He also does different engravings of 'marry me' 'peace' and 'kiss me'. How beautiful the way it closes.
