Uncommon Goods

Have you ever heard of Uncommon Goods Jewelry? If not, let me tell you a little bit about it. A site based in USA that offers hand made jewelry made by various artisans and designers each with a unique style that you really can't find elsewhere.

They don't only sell jewelry, but all sorts of decorative products, like personalized gifts, and we all know, we love to have stuff that are in accord with our personality and lifestyle.

So, if you are one looking for awesome products to offer as gifts to your close ones, this is the place to search: wedding gifts, presents for moms or kids, you can find jewelry, cups, robes, books or toys, you name it!

My choice was this gorgeous hand made necklace made by Emilie Shapiro who loves to create bold and beautiful jewelry by placing gems in wax castings, then melding brass around it for a uniquely organic design.

Also, these gorgeous golden bracelets made by  Tulianna and Alejandra Garces. Beautifully crafted by Colombian artisans, these bracelets are made from antique lace dipped in lustrous 24k gold. The process is entirely done by hand: pieces of lace are cut and sewn, dipped in wax to seal and reinforce them, then in a layer of copper, and finally in 24k gold. 

How amazing is that? To take a delicate textile fabric and dip it into gold to create jewelry. I never heard of something as creative as this before, I loved the idea!

I really hope you liked this post and these gorgeous designs. Go check out their website for more products and more info, i am sure you'll love it!

Gold accents

 

 Another trend that started to grow on me this year is the golden chain necklaces, preferably wearing them in layers as long as you don't mind them getting tangled around your neck and start to look like a small disaster.

 If you told me a couple of years ago that I would start wearing this type of necklace, I would have laughed in your face. I was 100% devoted to colorful, sparkly, statement jewelry that everyone got infatued with eventually. But as the time goes by, so does my taste in certain trends or fashion items go away. I still collect statement necklaces and I still wear them, but just not so much anymore.

 So anyway, how do you like this golden chain jewelry? I find them quite easy to wear on so many outfits - maybe not cocktail dresses, but more on the casual side, with simple but girlie peplum tops and some skinny pants or pencil skirt, or maybe with a basic T-shirt, some boyfriend jeans and a pair of stiletto sandals- if you're into that style. 

Let me know your thoughts!

 And enjoy the rest of the weekend as best as you can!

The Name Necklace

 I am sure most of you who watched "Sex and the City" know about the "Carrie necklace", the cute, delicate golden necklace she was so attached to. Ever since then, I always wanted a necklace with my name to wear it proudly, it would made me feel somehow unique, even though I am sure I share my name with others out there; but you don't see many wear necklaces like these the way you see Zara or H&M hanging around one's neck.
The lovely people over at One Necklace contacted me and were kind enough to send me such a necklace. I got this model, because ornaments are my thing, I got to choose the length and the type of chain also. I didn't choose my real name because I rarely use it and I thought Lola was a great choice because it's simple and I always sign my emails with it.
You can imagine my joy when I received it (quite fast acutally) and I opened the beautiful box it came in. Now I can scratch another item from my long whishlist, hooray!
