jewelry designer extraordinaire

images via Jessica De Lotz I couldn’t believe my eyes when i saw Jessica de Lotz latest collection for the first time. She deconstructs vintage and flea market finds and then recreates these incredible jewelry pieces. So, a a thirties door bell came back as a beautiful black diamond ring. Most suitable for wedding/engagement jewelry would be the "The Love Story, Paris 1946" collection, which can be personalised with your initials or different symbols. The hand stemped wax seal necklace really gives me this romantic vintage feeling. Im curious what will be next! Can’t wait to get updates from this lady.

what's next?

Blackboard paint is so much fun... you can write each other messages , write down notes, wishlists, shoppinglist, or just draw little sketches.

Liv feels a bit crafty right now.I am really in the mood to create a new home. I still want this stairs. And a golden bathroom. Don't ask me why. At the same time I know that I will be moving several more times, so all this ideas are for : one day...

Romy

Romy Schneider! Love this filmposter. Really fits into my moodboard. I think Romy has an incredibly modern look on this one- a bit Kate Moss like. I mean the other way around obviously. I have to see this movie asap.

rebellious rings

...Macha is about a quiet rebellion, not necessarily‘beautiful’, but not without nobility either, rough and warm-hearted and full of ripe character. It‘s witty, tenacious and defiant with an air of old fashioned peace...’

Oh yeah! You have to like a jewelry designer that describes her creations like that, right? For me the pieces by Macha Jewelry look all really contemporary. The way jewelry should look in 2010, if its not vintage. I love that there are so many finds suitable for men. Even outside the mens category on her website. These stud signet rings for example or the big knot rings, would make great unisex wedding bands. And Liv especially likes the ones that combine silver and gold. For herself.

Uhm do you think I am writing too much about jewelry?
