Solange Azagury-Partridge

My mom was atually the first person to tell me about Solange, she has an eye for quirky jewellery. Every piece is just so clever and really inspirational... And she has a collection called 'random.' (Ah, randomness....) If you're like me and have had a stressful week which has been divided between homework and searching (in vain) for typewriter ink then it's probably about time to look at some interesting jewellery.

Anyways, I wanted to pick out my favourte piece.
......
narrowed it down to the top ten :]

ONE

the 'Real Fakes.' Reminiscent of my red diamond necklace, no? Perhaps it's the monarch if the real-fake diamond community :]

TWO

The 'Hearts of Gold.'

THREE'Bacchus'

FOUR

'Big Fringe' go on the website and see the fringe pieces moving :]

FIVE
'Mirror Box'

SIX

'Union Jack.' This is a contender for absolute favourite. I'm a sucker for Union Jacks :)

SEVEN

'Mardi's animals' I love the bee :]

EIGHT

'Hotlips' These are some of her most famous and super gorgeous... I love all the different colours.

NINE

'Mercury'

TEN

'Cherry Stones'

Not only this, but she might just have the most amazingly artsy website I have ever seen. There are loads of little animations and you can actually see the jewellery in motion, cause it is full of hinges and tassles and trapdoors and teeny marvellous detailish things! Have a look :]

And her catalogue is pretty cool too... it's a proper hard-back book!!! :o (I'm guessing I'm the only one who's mind is blown by that....)

Losers get More out of Life than Pretty People

London Eye

animal heads....look how it sits on the hand in that incredibly canine way :)

Wow, those wings....

'bird bones.'

these are inspired by New York skylines~

one of my favourite titles :p like?

Anyway, the pictures are from Jessica McCormack, one of my favourite jewellery designers. (I admit I have a slight obsession with edgy and overpriced jewellery!) All of the pieces seem to be stories or characters, true works of art :)

But I'm not in a particularly wordy mood today, which is why I cushioned it with all the pictures :p believe me, they look a lot better on the website.

She even has a blog (:D) of her inspirations. Fascinating! This is one of my favourite pictures:

And she does some amazing sketches and watercolours.
find them in her blog.
