A few of my favorite items

A couple of beautiful items I love and cherish :) 

Two beautiful Georgian rings. The one on the left has a border of black enamel surrounding a sepia painting of a willow tree and an urn. The ring on the left is jet surround a locket of woven hair. 

This is an antique locket with a beautiful painting of a lady on the left and her husband on the right. The locket was dented on the front and back when i found it but I still love it a lot.

the cat ring was made by myself and the Buddha pendant was from Chester era. The turquoise and seed pearl ring was made in the Victorian era and inscribed with the words "to Cassie from uncle". I found it during my first trip to London and it has been with me ever since.

The gold bracelet belongs to my grandmother and I got it from my mum when I got engaged in 2009.

Lastly, this chain was from my dad. The chain is over 40 years old but still in excellent condition. I've added my favorite antique cross (it came from Russia).

that's all :-) do you have anything you like or cherish? I will love to hear from you too! - please leave a link if you'll like to share :) 

Native American jewelry

1970's vintage / Navjo jewelry / Native American turquoise ring // KACHINA

I've been fancinated by native American jewelry for quite a while now ever since I saw a gorgeous squash blossom necklace in an antique shop when I was in New York. The colors of the turquoise, the change in color of the turquoise due to age and the patina of the silver makes me so wanna own one, but it's really expensive almost 800 bucks! and I can't afford to spend that much since I'm getting my own flat soon and we are going to pay the deposit.... (oh wells)

I found this really cool ring recently and had it listed up in the shop! It's made by Frank Yazzie, a Navajo silvermith. Handmade in sterling silver, set with robin egg blue turquoise and have lovely details- one of the nicest i'd ever purchased. FYI, turquoise is the birthstone for December babies!

I've been collecting scarce "Souvenir" pieces for a while now and i think it's time to sell them.- ( cause i'll be going for a trip to London and Durham in June!--so excited)
