Peapod Drop Earrings
I’ve been a fan of jewellery ever since I was old enough to raid my big sister’s jewellery box back in the eighties. In fact there’s a photograph of me standing in our kitchen at the age of five with bright red plastic beaded necklaces strung all over me looking pleased as punch with my accessorizing skills! Hopefully my taste has improved somewhat since then although I still maintain a fondness for gaudy eighties style plastic necklaces. These days though I like to explore jewellery from all over the place and most of the time you can find the most interesting pieces in the most unexpected of places. Of course if you go in to a known and trusted modern jeweller’s shop you know that you’ll come out satisfied but not neccessarily surprised. I’m a big fan of Tatty Devine for instance and recently treated a friend to her necklace which spells out the word “Arrgghh”as I knew she’d appreciate its humour and fashion friendly appearance. This piece is witty and on trend but also exactly the sort of item I’d expect Tatty Devine to produce. I like to find jewellery that speaks for itself and doesn’t necessarily have such a strong identification with a brand. One of my most satisfying finds lately has been a beautiful pair of pea pod drop earrings which are made from bronze with freshwater pearls used as the “peas”in the pod. At £75 they aren’t cheap but not as pricey as some designer jewellery which compels you to start searching same day loans online in the hope that you can pay for it somehow! These pea pod earring are by Michael Michaud who has an amazing talent for effectively turning nature it to jewellery and I actually came across him when I was looking at the Victoria and Albert Museum online shop. It’s a great resource for jewellery if you like unusual and beautiful pieces. And let’s face it, who doesn’t?!
