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...
