Her Humble Workshop

Kudos to that little sneaky friend of mine Angela, who after joining me for a visit at last December's The Meet Market, returned the very next day to buy this for me and surprise me for Christmas.

The girl who created this necklace is Naya Ferentinou...

...and mhw stands for my humble workshop. No need to be so humble Naya, your work is amazing!

She does have an etsy shop, but it seems to be kinda inactive, so I'd suggest you hop downtown next time there's a handmade jewellery bazaar and see for yourselves.

Turquoise on magenta

Both pairs of clip earrings and bead necklace, vintage. Silver chain necklace with interlocking turquoise rope and bead bracelet, Accessorize.



These is just a selection of the turquoise jewellery I packed for my vacation. The thing with turquoise is that you can really wear it with just about anything in summer - maybe except other shades of blue.

Yellow gold

I believe most of us despised yellow gold when we were growing up. We thought of it as tacky and kitsch and probably something that only our moms and aunts would wear.



Well, in this past few years I slowly started to grow fonder of gold jewelery, to the point where they are now the majority of my collection.



Here are a few of the pieces that I've been wearing non-stop these past few months:

Gorjana Bail Ring from Reverse.



Gorjana Tinsley Charm Bracelet from Reverse.



Chain link necklace, vintage from my grandma's collection.



Gold-plated bracelet, a gift bought from Samos.



Snake-effect long necklace from Accessorize.



If you liked those two Gorjana pieces on top, you should definitely take a look at Revolve Clothing's selection, with several pieces currently on sale. My favourite is this little charm bracelet that's already on my wish list.

Quite similar to the one I already have, but I wouldn't mind piling them both up on my left wrist.
