A little giveaway

I am a total magpie, I love shiny things and have a crazy amount of jewellery.

Pretty much

So as I can’t stand this cold and gloomy weather and shiny things cheer me up, I thought I’d give you lovely people a chance to win this very cute Punky Pins necklace.

To enter, all you have to do is post a comment telling me what cheers you up when it’s cold and grey outside. Simple as that. You have till next Wednesday (25th November) and then I will put all the names in a hat and pick a winner.

Good luck.

Trend on trial: midi rings

image

A few months ago I lost some weight, and as always it went first in my hands. I already have weird fingers, long and bony with the protruding knuckles all women on my mum’s side have (and one day the joy of arthritis). So the lost weight created a conundrum in my jewellery armoury, my rings were too big.

I have worn the same rings on my fingers on and off for years – including my great-great-aunt Bess’ ring, which only ever fitted on my thumb.

I like to dress up and the rings I wear are part of my defense against the world.

So now I’m looking for rings that fit my new, scrawnier fingers. And a trend that caught my eye was the recent one for midi rings, that sit between your fingers joints. EBay and Etsy are excellent places to hunt for things like that. Ring size matters less as these rings are often adjustable or can be moved to a different finger if they aren’t quite right (that and they’re cheap and cheerful).
