I’ve always had a weakness for whimsical jewellery and I love these necklaces by Aartthie Mahakuperan.

Aartthie Mahakuperan lived in Saudi Arabia until the age of 6 and then moved to London. She loved clothes and playing dress up, and she’s a huge fan of funky house music, going dancing and Harry Potter!

She always wanted to do something creative so she finally quit her office job and starting making jewellery. Aartthie has a stall at the Backyard Market in Brick Lane - just look for the stall with a birdcage that has shoes sitting inside it. You can also check out her site at: Fairytales and Post it Notes.

Quirky Accessories - jewellery by NEVER

Posted by Blue Mae on June 13th, 2009

Never-bricklane-trinket-necklaces-vintage(1) Quirky Accessories - jewellery by NEVER
I recently have been collecting many trinket necklaces. Odds and sods have been an obsession of mine for quite a while, but now to my delight I realise there are so many more pieces I can find to make quirky accessories!

Spoons - now who really thought one year ago a teaspoon would be even remotely cool. Well, they are now! After pondering around Brick Lane market I found the jewellery stand "Never" and it’s my best find of the year (so far)! Everything they sell is beautifully wonderful and whimsical that you could put on a chain - from broken watch faces, spoons and more. NEVER sells beautiful one-off vintage jewellery pieces. So I have began collecting their pieces.

The teaspoons are my favourite but there’s anchors, bullets - something for everyone’s quirky side. I found they make really great gifts; my friend was thrilled with his.

As much as I would like to hate Lady Gaga she is helping bring back the quirky side in everyone’s lives. So she likes teacups, I like teaspoons! It’s a weird and wonderful world! Check out Never on http://www.myspace.com/wearenever or head over and find them at the BACKYARD MARKET, Brick Lane, every Saturday and Sunday. Also they are at the boutique shop BLUE MUKET, 188 Brick Lane, every day.

Michelle Obama wearing a St Erasmus Necklace

Posted by Rebekah Roy on May 18th, 2009

michelle-obama-pieter-erasmus Michelle Obama wearing a St Erasmus NecklaceI love when a celebrity or public figure wears a hidden gem. It’s so easy to play it safe and chose a well known designer. I think you have to have true style and confidence to wear something just because you like it, and I think it’s great because naturally I want all the small designers I know to become big designers.

Michelle Obama has been wearing everyone from Michael Kors to Jason Wu (he designed her inaugural gown - he’s only 26 and had no idea Mrs. Obama was going to wear the gown until he saw it on TV) and now Pieter Erasmus’ necklace!

Pieter Erasmus is the designer behind ST•ERASMUS. He has cultivated a style which combines traditional techniques with contemporary forms and materials. His designs are steeped in cross-cultural inspiration, an african-european fusion. Pieter has designed jewellery for Givenchy, Matthew Williamson and Roberto Cavalli. I really like his braclets as they have a vintage inspiration but also feel very modern.

The Feather Necklace

Posted by Rebekah Roy on March 14th, 2009

sophisticated-stones-freedom The Feather NecklaceI love these necklaces - in a way they are more like a collar. There are so many looks you can create with them! A statement necklace like this can spice up a little black dress or dress up a black t-shirt and skinny jeans.

I’m not sure which necklace I love the most, maybe the last image, but since my hair is a bit redish the first would look great too.

The trend of feathers and fringe is continuing but these necklaces are such a statement that they don’t seem to be about trends - it’s more about one’s own personal style.

Luxure Magazine - Watch Shoot

Posted by Rebekah Roy on November 3rd, 2008

One of the best parts of my job is that I have the privilege to work with some of the finest luxury goods in the world. This Harry Winston Signature Lace timepiece has 629 diamonds totalling 21.59 carats. I once heard that if you give someone a watch they are yours forever. I like that idea. I think watches are amazing - I know we take it for granted but an object that can measure time, it’s truly astounding. And then, time fused to diamonds - an allotropes of carbon,  the hardest natural material known - simple yet just so extraordinary.

It’s a beautiful magazine: the front cover with its trademark wrap-round image was shot by guest contributor Robin Derrick. Even the paper is luxurious as it’s wood free!
