Spotted... Alice In Wonderland Jewellery!

Just when you thought girls jewellery couldn't get any cuter, along comes and new line by Juicy Couture.    Their pieces are made with 14K yellow gold plated and accented with colorful cute cupcakes, glittering hearts, tasty ice cream cones and strawberries. Price: $32-$78 (US).   Then again, even with age who doesn't love these.  So maybe the "big girls" might want to buy some too!  Check out Nordstrom.com for the current range.

If they are too expensive then pop down to your local "Diva" store in Australia.  I was in their yesterday and spied the most fabulous Disney inspired jewellery.  Very similar to Juicy Couture but without the price tag.  However they are not 14K gold (but who would know), but just as cute.

My personal favourite is the "Alice Necklace".  With a long gold chain, a tiny pink cupcake and saucer (very "limoges" inspired), a real working gold fob watch and a jewel encrusted cupcake that says "Eat Me"; the necklace is very Alice In Wonderland.   Priced at $24.99 it is a bargain.  Look out for the matching cupcake/teacup bracelet and cupcake earings.  Or the adorable cupcake and teacup rings.  

Now, unless you've been hiding under a rock (or not reading this blog!), you would know that I am loving Alice In Wonderland and produced my own artworks to celebrate Alice.   Just in case you've missed them, here they are again...

Jest Jewels also have an Alice In Wonderland range of charm bracelets.

Alice In Wonderland is timeless.

Loving... Beach inspired jewellery

If you've read my previous posts you would know I live on the Northern Beaches and adore the laidback beach/ocean lifestyle.  This is reflected in some of my art. 

The beach and ocean are always and inspiration for artists.  The colours, the shapes and the textures are amazing.  Collecting small shells is always fun as is collecting jewellery, so imagine my delight at finding that Badgeley Mischka has combined both!

If you love the beach then this new necklace by Badgley Mischka might be perfect.   A colourful concoction of sparkly sea shells, a clam and a starfish pendant with various precious and semi-precious stones all against the backdrop of a five-string gold chain.  You would have to absolutely "love" the beach as it sells for $800 US.

Diamond Reef Sea Necklace - Blue/Green - $800 USD

What about a ring instead?

Diamong Reef Ring - $120 USD

Diamond Reef Sea Necklace - Pink/Red - $800 USD

Now I doubt I could convince my husband that I simply found these "gems" washed up on my local beach.  Or that I found shells and fashioned them into a necklace.  I may be creative but not that creative!  Pity

The closest I might get is a shell I've found and then encrusted (glued) with fake rhinestones.  Get crafting everyone as I suspect the sea will be the next big trend in fashion jewellery.  You've been warned!
