You know I love dragonflies, you know I love jewellery, you know I love a bargain. Therefore, it won't surprise you that when I saw this dragonfly jewellery at half price I had to snap it up! Especially since it appeared to be end of line and therefore I might not have the chance again. (They have now disappeared from the website so I guess I was right, although the dragonfly necklace is still available!)
I first discovered Bianca Jones' designs when I used to sell my photographs at the Merchant Square craft & design fair. She was another vendor there and I loved her little hand made charms. So much so that I dropped MAJOR hints to Nik about the little 'diamond' ring charm before we were engaged.
The hints worked, I wore it at our wedding with my Tiffany dragonfly charm and now wear it on one of my other bracelets :)
I've been keeping up with her via her email newsletters and she's since had a lot of press coverage including Vogue! I love it when I like something before it gets famous, like when I buy something and then see it in my favourite fashion magazine. It makes me feel stylish ;)
When my items arrived I fell in love with the packaging! It makes such a difference when you order something online and it arrives like a little present :) I love designers who obviously put a lot of time and effort into the whole customer experience, not just the items they make.
Each piece of jewellery was all tied up in a beautiful envelope and I received a few lovely post cards, one of which had a personal message on thanking me for my order. Such a nice touch.
And the jewellery itself is beautiful! My ring fits perfectly and the earrings are perfect - big enough that you can easily make out what they are but small enough that I can wear them to work.
The gold is vermeil (gold plated sterling silver) so it's not too expensive but won't turn you green!
I'm sure you'll be seeing a lot more of these in future outfit posts!
My other favourite pieces include the gorgeous little gingerbread man, the bumble bee and the wish bone.

I love that ring. I have no idea about earrings - though they look very pretty, but I LOVE that ring. You clearly have excellent taste :)
