Inspired by a summer of love and a little bit of Free Bird, these statement feather earrings are finished with stunning Turquoise beads. We love them quite a bit. Here they are:
See those lovely darker blue Turquoise chip beads? Those are from the Sleeping Beauty mine in Arizona, USA. (Sounds all romantic, doesn't it?) Romance aside, the Sleeping Beauty mine (so named as the mountain resembles a sleeping lady) is world renowned for the quality and colour of it's Turquoise. It's not enhanced, dyed or otherwise altered, the colour you see is completely natural and just amazing. Want to know a bit more about where the Turquoise has come from? Read on...
The Sleeping Beauty mine is located in Globe, Arizona, USA. Originally it was mined for gold and copper, but for over a decade it has been mining for Turquoise. Want to know what a Turquoise mine looks like? It looks a little like this...

Fascinating stuff, eh? And it makes very pretty jewellery.
We're a little excited about our newest necklace which has just launched. Meet Magic Moments!
Stunning Quartz points have been wire wrapped into pendants and sit alongside a cream rose and two small glass pearls (pearls of wisdom, of course.) Hung from a 24" vintage silver plated chain.
This pendant can also be used as a pendulum for divining answers to your innermost questions! Have a question which requires a yes or no answer? Ask your necklace! Read on for EE's quick guide to harnessing your divining power...
HOW TO USE YOUR PENDULUM!
Simply hold the chain in your dominant hand (the one you write with) with the point of the crystal held a few inches above the palm of your other hand. Firstly, you need to decide your yes/ no responses so ask your pendulum a question to which you know the answer - most pendulums will move clockwise for yes and anti clockwise for no. When you're in tune with your pendulum, you're ready to start asking the serious stuff! (Like should you get a slice of chocolate cake for lunch.) Life will never be the same again.
(p.s. EE disclaimer: this is probably not scientific fact so should be approached for entertainment purposes only. Just so we're clear.)
We've got the new goodies from the SS12 collection now starting to arrive on the website! Dinosaurs, birds, vintage leaves, sentiment bangles... head over and check it out!
We compiled a check list for our latest earrings, just released on the website. They needed to be:
Pretty (check)
Swishy (check)
Bird-y (check)
We came up with these, pretty, swishy, bird-y, swishiness type earrings with amazing vintage shell leaves, Upon Reflection:
These little beauties are new on the website today. 1950s brass rings with the engraving 'Our Fate Is Our Destiny'.... how sweet is that?! Suspended from a vintage shiny brass chain with a single cream rose, they're a simple statement piece and a nice little reminder that whatever will be, will be.
Although there's a small part of you which may want to grip it tightly and whisper "my precious".
