Roses + Whiskey Jewellery

28 June 2018

If you read my May favourites you will have seen that I am in love with a new small business run by Jessica.

Roses + Whiskey is a gorgeous shop selling handmade crystal jewellery. Honestly everything is so beautiful. That would probably be why I seem to have amassed such a large collection. I can't seem to say no to all the beautiful crystals. Not only is there quite a large choice of crystals, you can also pick a chain length and colour to suit you. A black cord has also been recently introduced which looks great.

Karma Se7en Body Jewellery

20 April 2016

I'm a huge fan of piercings and I currently have 5 in my right ear, 3 in my left and 1 in my nose. I've been looking for some new studs for my tragus and helix for a while now because I'm terrified of losing the only ones I own. Karma Se7en kindly sent me some gorgeous pieces to put my mind at ease and I'm in love. 



I really love the packaging of K7 products. I love that fact that each item comes in a plastic pot with a screw lid because now I have somewhere safe to put all my earrings when I have to take them out to play wheelchair basketball. Genius. Also great for taking jewellery on holiday if you are as indecisive as me.
How gorgeous is this Blue crystal triple helix stud*? It makes it look like I have even more piercings which is always a good thing. It has a ball to screw on the back and is so comfy to wear. Plus it looks awesome. I might have to get some of the other colours. You can check out all of the info and different style earrings you can get for your helix here

Rose gold nose ring* (1mm). I mean it had to be done really. I'm not normally a massive fan of rose gold and I don't really get the hype but I am so in love with this. I haven't taken it out since it landed on my doorstep and it looks gorgeous. It's going to look so good when I finally get a tan.

I desperately needed a spare tragus stud because I am always losing the ball off the end of mine. It somehow seems to fall off on its own & when I try and put it back on it always pings across the room. I'm surprised I haven't lost the whole bar yet. 

This 9ct gold & CZ tragus stud* is so sparkly and gorgeous. My old one was just a boring plain silver bar and I need sparkle in my life. The clear bioflex stem of this one makes it super comfy and the back is then invisibleish. Its also perfect for those who are allergic to metals. There is also no ball to screw on which makes life easier. The stone has a gold stem on which slots into the plastic. I did however underestimate how difficult it would be to slot something into clear plastic. I had to whack out the magnified side of my mirror. I still prefer it to the balls though.

They have so much gorgeous jewellery for all types of piercings and they also have helpful information about the different piercings on their site. There's a price range for everyone and everything is so pretty. I want it all. I would definitely recommend checking them out.

I already have a list of more that I want to buy

Clogau Lust List

16 February 2016

For my 21st I was lucky enough to receive a Clogau charm bracelet from my family. Clogau has to be my favourite ever Jewellery. Its gorgeous, unique and welsh. Seriously their items are just stunning. I also have a gorgeous locket which I got for my 16th which started my love affair with this beautiful brand. The only downside is the price. My poor bank balance, but it is so worth it. I currently have 5 charms from family, friends and myself and I love every single one of them. I am permanently attached to my bracelet and feel lost without it.

The newest catalogue dropped through my door the other day. As I was browsing it with my morning cuppa I mentally spent about a billion pounds (slight exaggeration). Seriously I want it all. So I thought I'd do a lust list of all the gorgeous charms and rings I need in my life


Clogau Wishlist



Lovespoon Affinity Stacking Ring & Heart Affinity Stacking Ring - How gorgeous are these? I already have a welsh lovespoon necklace that my mum got me for my 18th that I wear everyday so this would go perfectly. I'm just obsessed with rings and constantly need more in my life. 

Horseshoe Charm - I had horses when I was younger. I was that crazy horse girl in school and I loved it. Plus horse shoes are lucky

Man in the Moon Charm - I am also that girl that points out the moon and the stars every night. Seriously I could spend hours just looking at them (except it hurts my neck). 

White Topaz Star Charm - Sparkle and stars. What more could you want from a charm?

Music Note Charm - I listen to music every day and I'd be lost without it

Horse Charm - Crazy horse girl again. I just love horses and wish I was well enough to own one again

Oyster & Pearl Charm - Obviously a mermaid needs an oyster charm. It even opens up to reveal a pearl inside. So magical

Queen Bee Charm - I love bees and am constantly going on about them & how we need to save them to my dad. Plus I'm also the queen bee obvs.

Mirror Charm - The perfect charm for a vain girl like me. Plus its so pretty 

Damselfly Charm - This is just so pretty and blue is my favourite colour. 

Paw Print Charm - I'm such an animal lover and would be lost without my dog (who is currently snoring away on my bed). 

Do you love Clogau as much as me?
What charm would you choose?

Jewllerybox Jewellery

25 September 2015

If you have never heard of Jewellerybox where have you been? Also get yourself over to their site pronto. They have so many gorgeous items. They also just happen to be the loveliest company ever. I've been having a pretty rough few months with the last few weeks being the worst. I just happened to tweet saying I was going to treat myself to something from them to cheer me up and to see if anyone had any recommendations. The super lovely Gemma then sent me these two gorgeous pieces, I am so in love with, just to make me smile. They honestly made my week so much better and I cant thank them enough.

jewellerybox.co.uk

First of all, how cute is their packaging. The simple brown boxes are just too cute. Jewellerybox have something for everyone with a huge range of prices and gorgeous affordable gold and silver items. I  have to have good quality jewellery as cheaper costume jewellery irritates my skin but this usually means my purse suffers. Not any more. I can see myself buying a lot more from this site.

The first item I was sent was this absolutely stunning Sterling Silver Clear CZ Open Heart Necklace*. It is the most delicate and beautiful necklace I think I own. I'm a little bit scared of breaking it because super clumsy but I'm in love. Also how adorable are the lil pegs.

The second item was this Sterling Silver 2mm Stacking Twisted Rope Ring*. I am a huge huge huge ring addict. Seriously I wear at least 7 rings a day and I can't stop buying them. I went for a bigger size in this one so that I could wear it as a thumb ring and it looks awesome. My hands look so pretty right now. I am definitely going to be buying some smaller sizes in this ring so I can wear it on other fingers as well. They come it sizes I-U and I went for S because I have huge knuckles and sausage fingers.

So if you want to treat yourself or if you are stuck for gift ideas (they also do mens jewellery) I highly recommend them. They even offer free shipping on orders over £10 and postage is super quick.

Gemporia Madagascan Blue Apatite Ring

17 June 2015

I spend many an evening browsing the Gemporia site looking at all the gorgeous jewellery. I am obsessed with their rings but I have never taken the plunge and make an order. I'm quite picky when it comes to jewellery. Plus I have super chunky knuckles which makes ordering online difficult. So when they offered the chance to work with them I jumped at it.

I was given the chance to try this gorgeous 1.43ct Madagascan Blue Apatite Sterling Silver ring* and oh my it is love. I must have spent about 2 hours looking at all the different pretty things in all different colours. However I am a massive fan of blue and this is just stunning. Words cannot describe how much I love this ring. 




This ring is such a beautiful shade of light blue which catchers the sun in such a gorgeous way. It looks great worn every day and complements other rings (Im a total ring whore, unfortunately I broke a few fingers which are now too fat for the rings I own so need to invest in some more). It also looks fabulous on its own as a statement accessory to go with a LBD on a night out. The choices are endless and its a gorgeous way to add some sparkle into your life. Side note - It also looks great paired with pyjamas and scraped back hair on sick days and makes you feel just a little bit more glamorous. Well as glam as you can feel stuck in bed with a hot water bottle. 

At £36 I feel like this is such a bargain for such a stunning ring. They have items with such a range of prices ranging from cheap to slightly out of my budget. Expect a wishlist post soon as I have my eye on so many more items and may be making a purchase soon to reward myself for my degree result - 2:1 if you were wondering ;)




Another great feature of Gemporia is their ring size gauge. I ordered one ages ago but never got around to using it. You can order yours for free here. Its kind of like a cable tie that you can wrap around your finger until it feels like a comfortable size & then read off the letter. This way you can be confident that you are ordering the right size. Perfect for big knuckled babes such as myself. 


Have you ever bought anything from Gemporia?

Charmed Ivy Necklaces

12 February 2015

I'm a massive fan of Charmed Ivy Jewellery and did a post on a some other necklaces I have from them a while back which you can find here. Can you tell I have a weakness for necklaces. 
So here's what I have treated myself to recently.


Live Your Dream Necklace £4

I actually only picked this necklace up as an afterthought to boost my total so I could use a discount voucher but I haven't actually taken it off since it arrived. I love it so much. It's so simple and goes with everything and the 20" chain is the perfect length

Moonlit Galaxy Necklace £3.50

As soon as I saw this necklace on the Charmed Ivy Instagram I knew I had to have it. I am obsessed with the moon/stars/galaxies etc. and it's blue so it was fate. I'm not a massive fan of the chain on this as it's quite short but I'm just going to switch it to one of my longer chains and it'll be prefect. 


Charmed Ivy are currently offering 20% off for valentines which is running until Saturday with the code 'Cupid' so if you've had your eye on anything now's the time to treat yourself.

Charmed Ivy Jewellery

22 August 2014

Sorry for the lack of posts. I haven't been feeling too great and I've been crazy busy. Anyway as you may know I love my jewellery and after spending many nights browsing Charmed Ivy and drooling over their really well priced items I finally made an order and I'm so glad I did. I'm really into necklaces with a longer chain and a bigger pendant at the moment so I picked these 3 and I am so in love with all of them.



Turquoise Small Horn Necklace - £3.50

I wanted the bigger version of this which can be found here but they didn't have a turquoise one so I went for this one instead but I think it may actually better because it's perfect for layering with others. The horn is such a gorgeous colour and I have worn this so much since buying it. The chain is 25" but you can customise the chain length on any necklace if you want to.


Catch Your Dreams Necklace - £5

I am obsessed with dream catchers. I went through a phase of my meds giving me the pleasant side effects of nightmares so my brother bought me a dream catcher and I have never been happier with a present from him. They're just so pretty and this necklace is no exception. It also has blue stones on it which could not be any more perfect as it is my favourite colour. This was the necklace that prompted me to make my order. As soon as I saw it I needed it in my life.



The Spear of Isis Necklace £5

This necklace is so gorgeous. As it's black it will go with everything and it goes perfectly with the earrings I got from Black Tied a few weeks ago. I can see this being worn all the time in winter. For a fiver this is such a bargain.


Charmed Ivy has so many gorgeous items for really good prices and even better postage is only a £1. What more could you ask for? There are so many more items I want like this headchain and these arrowhead earrings I know I'll end up making another order soon.

You can also follow them on twitter and instagram for even more temptation

Black Tied Jewellery

3 August 2014

I am a magpie when it comes to shiny things and seriously obsessed with jewellery. I am rarely seen without rings, earrings and necklaces. I recently discovered Black Tied. There is so much gorgeous jewellery on this site.


I first went on there to find some midi rings. I love my Shop Dixi rings but their midi rings are quite chunky whereas Black tied have some gorgeous sterling silver (essential) and nice and thin midi rings in a set of 2 which is exactly what I wanted. Could not have been more perfect. These rings have been attached to my fingers ever since I bought them and for £12 for the set of 2 they are a really good price.


I also got this gorgeous pair of Black Hematite Gemstone Arrowhead earrings. I am so in love with them. For £10 they are amazing quality and they look so good. I was really lazy and didn't put the rubber backs on them the first time & they fell out a few times but they come with backs so I do suggest keeping them on. They are really comfy to wear and not too heavy which is an issue with a lot of dangly earrings. It is however very difficult to photograph mirrored earrings but look how gorgeous they are.


I have my eye on so many other pieces from this site so any time I have spare pennies I know where I'm going. I love the Silver Feather Pendent necklace and the Tribal Arrowhead necklace and I think they would look amazing layered


The lovely Laura from Black Tied has given me a discount code for my amazing followers so if you want to treat yourselves you can get 15% off with the discount code 'MID15' until the 31st August.
You enter the code at the last step of the process which is after the PayPal step. You fill in your PayPal details, confirm them and then it will take you back to the Black Tied site where you enter the code.

What are you lusting after from Black Tied or do you already have some pieces? 
If you buy any thing let me know what you got.

New Jewellery Additions

2 June 2014

I am a massive jewellery addict and total magpie when it comes to anything sparkly. After I finished my exams I decided I needed a treat which is obviously the rules, Do something hard reward yourself with jewellery, shoes or make-up. Exam season makes me very poor.

I couldn't decide so I ended up buying things from Shop Dixi  which is my favourite jewellery shop, Black Tied and Luna




Black Tied Sterling Silver Midi Rings £12 for the two
Im obsessed with rings at the moment and currently wear 7 daily. Midi rings means you can wear more rings without looking over loaded. I had some from somewhere else before but they weren't sterling silver so tarnished. These have been attached to my fingers ever since they arrived.
I definitely want to try more from their collection



Luna Crescent Moon Necklace £4.50

I love the moon and have been looking for a moon necklace for a while. This one is on a 24 inch chain so is nice and long and I love it.

Luna Elephant Charm Bracelet £6.50
Luna Double Feather Charm Bracelet £4
Luna Crescent Moon Charm Bracelet £6.50

I'm pretty sure I got these for £3.50 in a sale. I love them so much. They are so cute and can be worn with everything. I did have a bit of an issue with the chain breaking on one of mine but I just reattached the broken chain and bent the links back into place and was good as new. 






Kingdom Turquoise Multi Stone Amulet Bracelet 

This was a Birthday present from one of my amazing friends as he saw it on one of my wishlist posts. The stones are a gorgeous colour and it looks great on.

Sterling Silver Plain Band Thumb Ring £14

I love this ring. As I said I'm a massive fan of rings and I needed a thumb ring in my life. I have massive knuckles so was a  bit worried it wouldn't fit. It was a bit of a squeeze but it fits and looks great.

Shyla Leaf Anklet £10

I'm a massive fan of anklets and own about 5. This one is a great addition to my collection. I love the leaves and it looks amazing on. Its going to look really good on the beach in the summer.




The last addition to my jewellery collection is this absolutely gorgeous Clogau charm bracelet I got for my 21st from my family. I adore it and it hasn't left my wrist since. 


What did you treat yourself to after exams?
