RING A DING DING

Apart from waiting for a shiny, dare I say, diamond in the future - I console myself with buying as many costume rings possible - pieces that will do some damage if I punched someone (which I won't). I love rings, dainty or boulder-size. They are an accessory that can accentuate a colour in your outfit, or provide a great contrast.

When I purchased this ring from Bondi markets a couple of years ago, I thought that I bought a great 'Art Deco' style piece. I loved it for its monochromatic look and that I could pair it with pretty much anything. This ring is one of my favourites.

It wasn't until I wore it to work when the guys asked me why I was wearing a Decepticon on my finger. Turns out, that's exactly what it looks like. They do say 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'. :)

Robots in Disguise

My other new obsession is this guy I picked up at an internal 'Shop Till You Drop' sale. While everyone else was going crazy over sample pants and jackets, I got my 'magpie' on and zeroed in on the table of jewellery. I swooped upon this chap, that I christened Bullwinkle and couldn't wait till I wore it out. I did, a week later, and as I went to put my hand in my bag, one of his antler's fell off :( 

 

Bullwinkle is now antler-less, and awaiting fixation. He'll get his moment, soon.

Anywhere that you know of that makes quirky pieces? I'm always on the hunt for strange and creative jewellery - let me know your thoughts!
