Jewellery is my thing. It is my great love. I wear it all the time, and my preference is usually big and clunky and OTT. Too much is just enough, in other words. The other day it struck me to count the necklaces I was wearing after I took my earphones out, thinking they were broken, and realised the curious sound I could hear over Joanna Newsom was me, jangling -I had on five, and they were not small. Now, this is a personal best of course, but my point is this: I overload on my treasures because I love them; they have become great friends in many cases, mostly because they have often come from great friends.
Naturally, I have a little wish list of bits and pieces to add to my collection, but officially topping it, as of today, is the Immortals ring from the 2010 collection entitled 'Real Life Awaits Us' by ManiaMania.
Just gorgeous, and a little rough around the edges, which, come to think of it, is my preference regarding most things in life.
I also have a major girl crush on the designer of this beauty Tamila Purvis, who, if not rough around the edges, is definitely gorgeous, and definitely amazingly talented. Photographed wearing her designs here by Garance Dore (another source of abiding admiration) she looks exactly how I want to look when I pile on my jewels of a morning: Chic, and then some.
