Snixy Swoons: The Laser-cut Jewellery Etsy of My Dreams!

June 24, 2015/ Claire Spence

I discovered Snixy Swoons on eBay about two months ago. I can't remember what I was searching for, but I know what I found; huge, quirky, colourful, unique jewellery I could fill a basket full of. I contacted Miss Snix and asked would she be so kind as to send me her favourite piece she makes, and in return I will share her wonderful shop, https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/SnixySwoons with you, my loyal readers.

I expected to receive one of the huge wooden birds, or perhaps a ornate moth brooch, or plastic figure parrot necklace, in actual fact she sent all three! So thank you, Miss Snix, for your generous gifts.

Here is what I got, and my other picks from the Etsy store, which I'll be buying piece by piece over the next year to help support the store to grow and release new designs.

Say hi to Miss Snix at www.facebook.com/snixyswoons

Revisiting Lady Muck, What's New in Whitstable?

September 29, 2014/ Claire Spence

I found Esa Evans' quirky jewellery line 'Lady Muck' thanks to a shout out on BBC Radio 6 by lovely Lauren Laverne back in 2012. Sadly my super duper, orange perspex ants necklace got broken, from my own carelessness at storing it. Sad face. Here is how it looked in 2012.

Two years on the brand is still going strong. I particularly love the circle necklace in multicolours reminiscent of a primary school paint palette. Drop in on Esa on her Lady Muck Store.

Can someone get married so I can order this hat to wear to the wedding please?

Nifty Christmas Jewellery Gift Idea, Name Personalised for Your Loved Ones

November 03, 2013/ Claire Spence

Name Jewellery Designs is an American Etsy store which personalises rings & bracelets with names, or short phrases of your choice. It's a straight forward, but unique and thoughtful gift idea. They are stackable, decently priced (under £17 for my Michael ring) and professionally engraved, 204 five out of five star customer reviews can't be wrong.

They have just launched their international shipping service, which is why they reached out to TheWorldofKitsch.com to spread the word. Although turn around and shipping is very fast, I would recommend getting your Christmas present requests in early, as come December I'm sure they'll have a backlog of gifts to engrave.

NameJewelryDesigns also let me choose this personalised bracelet for my Mum.
