Jewels and Gems ♥

What girl doesn't love jewellery? Giggling excitedly at the purchase of a new addition to your jewellery box. As I admitted in an earlier post, I'm not a designer-kinda girl. So the jewellers that top my list don't craft with diamonds or real pearls; but they do offer a range of quirkly, elegant, sweet and beautiful jewellery that you are going to want to feast your eyes on!

Let me start off by introducing you to one of my favourite crafters: VintagePrincess Laura. You can find her on Facebook so have a browse through her albums and order via FB or you can visit her website at www.folksy.com/shops/VintagePrincess. The thing I love about the lovely Laura Rutter is that she values every single customer like they were her only customer. Her goodies come wrapped with gorgeous ribbon and an abundance of party foil confetti/sequins/sparkly stuff! Here's how she wrapped my graduation gift that my sister ordered for me, complete with a beautiful gift box!


She also tends to know when you're feeling down and I was going through a time when I was feeling really down so along with my next 2 purchases, she added a little gift to cheer me up! ^_^ She is ever-so-sweet and one of the 'VintagePrincess hug' bracelets she slipped into my parcel I am always wearing!

Here's a pic of me wearing one of her cameo necklaces:

I have lots more photos of me donning my best VintagePrincess Laura goodies but why not visit her Facebook page yourself and see what you think- I can assure you you'll love her stuff!

Next up is Diamond in the Sky. I can't remember how I ever came across DITS but my am I glad I did! The lovely lady who runs DITS, Kirsty, is so very sweet too and often adds in an extra gift to orders placed before a certain time on a certain day. If you visit her Facebook page, you'll see she offers discounts to all her customers and sometimes runs exciting competitions to win gorgeous goodie bags! You can order via her website at http://diamondintheskyboutique.bigcartel.com/.

Vintage silver key to my heart necklace £10

Another one of my very favourite jewellery sites is http://shop.loveheartsandcrosses.co.uk/. I particularly love their necklaces and adore my love spinner necklace, which they don't seem to be selling anymore. I've always had my eye on this beauty, there's something about it that I just adore:

Peacock feather necklace £14

For discounts, please join their Facebook page and sign up to their newsletter.

Another one of my favourite sites that is just filled with luscious and simply beautiful goodies is http://ilovecutiepie.com/. Their range is absolutely stunning and if you join their Facebook page and sign up to their newsletter, you can be the first to know about exclusive discounts and competitions. 

Coco Rose Rose Cuff Bracelet £18

Then comes Tink Couture. She is very innovative crafting a range of goodies from customised accessories and bags to customised shoes and handmade jewellery. Just tell her what you want and she'll make it for you! Just join her Facebook page for more info :)

Here's a lovely, small jewellery box that I purchased from her for £8

I'd also like to draw your attention to Tallulah RoseVintage. They offer free postage on all their stuff and have for sale a variety of goodies from pocket watches to vintage items of clothing or bags. They also sell one off vintage jewellery pieces so it's definitely worth joining their Facebook page to make sure you don't miss out!

As well as these lovely crafters and jewellers, there are many others I hold dear so here are the others that make my happy list:


As you can see, I'm a bit of a jewellery junky ;)
But feel free to have a browse, I'm sure there'll be something to tickle your fancy!

"Can you ever really forgive if you can't forget?"
