The snow is snowing...

 An individual snowflake, or...

...your very own little pot (no bigger than my thumbnail) of snow / glitter. Let's not talk about the mess involved in getting the glitter into the pot. Let's just revel in its sparkly glory.

Hello, you cheeky golden robin, you.

Gingko biloba! And a happy new year. Two sides of the same silver-plated pendant.

These lovely earrings come in silver, too, but here's the gold-plated version. I realise they look enormous here, but they're not much longer than my thumb from tip to first joint. Or, as we say in the biz, the height of an average fairy.

A silver wishbone on a silver chain. For year-long wishes.

And I realised that just by adding a freshwater pearl, it would become...

Mistletoe! Looking greeny-gold because of the background, but still silver, I promise.

Two cherry ripe bracelets, with just a hint of sparkle.

O morning stars together

I'm in love with these twinkly stars. They're silver plated, gold plated or rainbow-tastic (hematite is the official term, I think), on either silver plated or gold plated thread. Very simple, and to my mind, much more chic than flashing Christmas tree earrings.

Speaking of earrings:

On the first day of Christmas...

Difficult to photograph, easy to wear. A little silver partridge and a juicy silver pear (matron), on a silver chain. This one's a lariat, so you can adjust the length to suit your taste and your outfit. It sort of works like this: http://www.purepearls.com/blog/2008/03/new-tahitian-pearl-lariat-necklace/, but without pearls.

On the second day of Christmas...

Two pewter turtle doves, smooching at the bottom of a silver chain. Get a room, chaps.

On the seventh day of Christmas...

I wish my true love had photographed this better, but I'm still smitten with my swan a-swimming. A little silver charm, topped with Swarovski crystals and floating from a silver-plated chain.

Just another leaf to round off autumn. This one's a maple, electroplated and coated in iridescent copper. It's not as big as it might look here - just 5cm across, and utterly, utterly gorgeous.

It's beginning to look a lot like...
