The Jewellery Hunt

In search of the new and exciting in the world of the web, I stumbled upon a whole craft I had no idea existed: the craft of shaping antique spoons into wonderful rings. At first I thought it was just a great idea this one person I stumbled upon had but on my midnight trawl through Etsy I found many more!

I think these rings look absolutely marvellous, and what a great way to reuse and recycle! Yes these spoons looked great in your grandmother's china cabinet, only to be used if the Queen herself popped in for a visit, but if you're being honest you'd have not much use for them now! Well now you definitely do! And yes this will mean that Antiques Roadshow will see a shortage of silverware, but sacrifices have to be made! 

Etsy is a world filled with the weird and wonderful so I thought I'd have a quick look and see what I could find, and believe you me I found things I cannot wait to buy and things I regret ever seeing....

Here are some of the little gems that lurked in the world of Etsy,

2 from Kica Bijoux
3 from BlackberryDesigns

The great thing about Etsy is that it's a marketplace for individual, creative and interesting people who create very fabulous and unique things, and in a world where on your way to work you probably pass at least one woman wearing the same top or skirt as you there is no better place to shop!

*Oh I did find some things that no one should ever see so bare in mind that you might be entering unchartered waters and find things no self respecting retailer on the high-street would stock! But that's partially what adds to the charm and appeal of the place.*

So why not give the unknown a go and see how you can jazz up your look wether it's a fork hanging from one ear or just a statement piece of jewellery!
