When I was at uni, I used to take great pride in my stacks and stacks of bangles, bracelets, cuffs and beads which I used to meticulously match to my outfit every day and which used to go from wrist to close to my elbow on both arms, Indian bride style. (In fact I made one of my best friends in the world through our matching sets - that and Goodness Gracious Me). Alas, I no longer have the time to do that (make the most of it, students) and I spend far too much time in silent whispery archives and libraries to jangle and clatter quite so much. That said, I do always jingle a bit, as these I never take off - my dozen hand carved silver bangles which were given to me by my beloved uncles:

But I do keep seeing people on Instagram proudly displaying wrists full of jewels (if you wish to follow my endless pictures of other people's cats and my lunches, I am nazneen372), and I have a hankering to reload. Perhaps not quite as gaudily as before - now I am thinking of delicate pieces, semi precious stones, and whimsical charms that might nestle and peek from under my bangles. Should I stick to silver? Should I mix metals? I don't rightly know!
But these are some of the pieces that have caught my eye of late:
I've always loved the more delicate pieces Lola Rose does:
Also rather pretty but a bit chunkier to make more of an impact (and would co-ordinate with my engagement ring :) )
I love seed pearls so this delicate bracelet with the tiniest tiniest pearls does sing to me:
And really rather gorgeous, this, like a garland of tiny flowers:
Finally I couldn't not have a rabbit charm, could I? (I'd have NNA as the initials, to stand for me, my sister and my bro):
What's on your wrists? Do you like to keep it simple with a single piece, or do you go to town on mixing it up?
gorgeous I love the bunny one and the first oliver bonas one x
ReplyDeleteThanks Lou (fellow QVC fan, sshh!) - ah, if only I wasn't on the spending ban of all spending bans, but as it is I'm whacking a lot of them on the Christmas list! :)
