The Magpie

Magpie - Fountain pen and Indian ink
 I'm currently doing part of my art project on nests. I'm looking at magpies and the way they steal jewellery and the folklore surrounding them. Recently I've been a bit of a magpie myself - stalking a good majority of the jewellery in the shops at the moment! I went to Primark in search of nail foils - I was unsuccessful and instead ended up finding these earrings:
6 pairs for just £2!
Back in the Summer, I nabbed these from Topshop for £2 (in the sale) as well. Spot the difference anyone?! I'm quite please I can have pairs now :)

I think these will end up being some of my most worn jewellery - I've got to sort out the backs for them though, they are so tight! On that note, here is some my favourite jewellery! 

Brooches
Pearl - Mums. Bug - Accessorize sale. Hello Kitty - Selfridges sale.
Rings
L-R: Junk shop in Cornwall, eBay, H&M.
Necklaces
Elephant - New Look, Pearl - Claire's, Chain - made it :)
Earrings
Pearls - Primark, Crystal ball - Topshop, Diamanté cubes - Republic, Black and silver studs - Accessorize, others - Primark
Bangles
Topshop sale - £4 down from £16
Specials
Vivienne Westwood Orbs - eBay!
Links of London charm bracelet. Clockwise > 18 charm, cat charm, elephant charm, frog prince charm and button charm (yet to be soldered on!) 
What's your favourite jewellery?

  4. The 6 pairs of earrings from Primark are beautiful! I work in Primark, so I've seen a few people buying them and I keep meaning to pick some up. I can't believe how pretty they are for only £2 (:

    You have a gorgeous collection here! I'm so jealous, haha!

  5. @Jan - Thanks - I've had a lot of wear out of them :)

    @Bel'Leo - The keys are my favourite too!

    @Ann - I'm going to wear the Love ones on Valentines Day! Along with my Love ring :) Is it bad I'm more excited about deciding what to wear on VD rather than Valentines itself?! :P

    @ Alex -You work in Primark? Cool :D
    It'd be a death trap if I worked in Primark, I'd end up buying everything!
