The summer essence and wider moments drop happened today in a pre-sale. I was very surprised to pick up anything in goldplating as I am a silver girl, but there was just something about this signet CZ ring. It had to be mine. Essence is my favourite collection; I love a good statement ring or six! I’ve also been very excited for ‘imitation lapis lazuli’ as I love blue, the richness and history of the stone. It’s truly better in real life. 💙

I think at last, my PANDORA obsession is back; they really have outdone themselves this summer. I really should stop buying!!

That being said, roll on the summer sale…

Found in my grandmother’s jewellery box after her passing in 2012. Any ideas on the materials/ time period /style this may have been made in? For context she was an Indian who emigrated from East Africa in the 1960s. But for all I know it could just be a 70s charity find in England. There’s no hallmark. Thanks!

Trying to update my charm bracelets (damned theme bangles are making it harder!) including new summer charms and bracelets. What should I do differently? Should I move full bracelet (# 3) to a snake chain necklace?

What, if anything, are you buying from the first summer release? 🫍

The preview of drop one went live today, and I’ve been sitting on my ‘thank you for working with us’ gift voucher for five months! 🖤

My starfish arrived today. I added it to my nautical bracelet in preparation for the new drop. The majority of my Pandora is blue and silver, including the new blue box chain. As nautical core is my thing, my key theme, I’m thinking I may need to start a new bracelet with this summer’s new charms! 🩵

V&A Museum, South Kensington. ‘England: 1500-1700’ exhibit.

Taken today by me. Forgive the quality; the exhibit was so dark and it was so sunny through the skylights!

My personal favourite was the Henry VII bust. He’s judging you, walking in and out, for all eternity.
