Jewellery design "rules" and trends I will NEVER follow!

The motivation behind some of these slides is there are a lot of jewellery rules, myths, trends that are inaccurate, unfounded, outdated and some are just plain marketing fluff, let's be real.

I'm also sick to deeeeeeeeath of mass consumerism, cheap crappy fast fashion, mindless shopping. Let's do better 🖤

For some reason I can't schedule this post and I spent way too long making it so it's getting posted late at night, so be it 🤣.

all made with thrifted sunnies, no design exactly the same. orders currently via DM only & shipping available within NZ. Customs available, your choice of glasses and piercings/spikes/chains. very limited pieces available while I'm able to thrift the good ones!

I'm still trialling some ideas on old sunnies I have first so I'm not allocating any finished ones *yet* but so far so good and I'm sure they are all gonna be fly as hell. Stay tuned.

these 1970s vintage pears deserve more than sitting in a box or a cutlery draw forever!

It is taking every ounce of strength in me not to keep this one guys, send help.

So stoked this idea found its way into my head, I'm obsessed with it! I don't come across many bags that you can remove the strap on each side and it happened to be perfect neck size too.

This was so specialllll!! 🥹 Bag reveal with my baby cousin Bailey.

She has been like a little sister to me since the day she was born and is one of my favourite people on earth, a ride or die and a v important part of my support system. This was the first time seeing her since she'd moved back home from UK and I had the best time ever up in the big smoke with bailey and her now fiancé Cam.

Love you so so much 🖤🥹

(If you've ever wondered who my bailey tattoo refers to - this is she!!) by @viragosteel
