A visit to St James's Park

During my trip to London, my parents and I took a trip to St James's Park. It was a beautiful place in autumn with all the trees in the platelet of yellow, orange, gold, brown and red. The grounds are filled with leaves of different shapes and sizes and there are squirrels everywhere :) 

didn't take much photos cause my fingers were numb by the cold..
A man feeding squirrels.. :)  
..this squirrel was too fast for me *nibbles,nibbles.
For those who are visiting London, do go there! it's really easy to find the place-(from my memory) just take the tube to St James's Park station, turn right when you walk out of the station, walk straight and turn left at the first turn, cross the road and TA-DAH! St James's Park. walking further out the park (which we did) you can walk to the Westminster bridge, the London eye, Waterloo bridge and Victoria tower too :) A handful of tube stations and bus stops can be found around the area so it's pretty convenient to travel back (to your hotel) if you're tired. 

My parents and I enjoyed the place, the structures and the cool, crisp air and left the park feeling light hearted. Hopefully I will be able to visit there next year in Spring to see the blooming flowers and lush green trees:)

Aksel Holmsen brooch

Aksel Holmsen is an artist located in Sandefjord, since 1932. He is well known for his beautiful enamel work and was highly regarded as a jeweler. I was so lucky to have come across one of his brooches while travelling. His work is so detailed and neat and I believe that it will be great to own a piece of his jewelry.


I've added this lovely brooch to the shop today! Don't you think it feels so calm and peaceful when looking at the scenic painting of the brooch?

Here are some other brooches by him from the net -->> HereHere & Here & Here

vintage marcasite rings!

I've several pieces of marcasite rings listed in the shop today! A few of them are purchased on my trip to London and they are genuine pieces from the Art Deco era (1920's - 1930's). There are a few marcasite rings with glass/stones. I like marcasites as they are simply pretty alone, sparkly and bright.  Marcasites are actually made from pyrite and that they are popular in the eighteenth century and also the Deco era. For those who believe in the power of stones, marcasites brings clarity and increases willpower. - whether one believes it or not, it feels pretty magical right?

i'm finally back!



some of the pieces i bought :)

Hey guys! i'm finally back :) London was great and i love the cold autumn weather. Day time is really short though, the sun starts to set at 4pm and by 6 it's already pitch dark. I went to several antique malls, fairs and markets which I bought many pieces of jewelry and I really enjoyed it. I went to a lot  of malls and had a lot of great food (including having curry at Brick Lane). Stayed at a small hotel -  it's quite dirty but it is actually so not bad cause it's so near the tube. Went to a couple of parks and saw many squirrels! Had food poisoning and had a slow,torturing flight back home. I shall slowly post pictures of my trip next week :)

1800's fede ring


Last month, I was lucky enough to find an antique fede ring which I was always interested in :) It is made of solid 14k yellow gold and set with two tiny diamonds. Fede ring is related to the Claddagh ring  which is a traditional ring given as a token for friendship,love, engagement or wedding.  I've listed this ring in the shop today! I hope that this ring can be a heirloom in some lucky gal's family.
