Art Deco Necklace - perfect valentines gift
This just has to be the perfect art deco valentines gift.
I love the colours, but even better are the materials used in this art deco pendant. Shell, rope and metal. Who’d of thought that would make such a pretty necklace? It’s actually, ‘crushed natural shell encased in a clear resin.’ So that’s what gives the art deco necklace the shiny look. It looks kind of sparkly to me as well.
I’m not sure how low the art deco necklace sits, but I think the way that this pendant is attached to a rope makes it really versitile.
You could really have fun with this, adapting it into an art deco brooch or key chain. And best of all, it comes with a free travel jewellery roll, so if you are giving this as a valentines gift, you’ll get a little something for yourself as well!

Art Deco Picture Frame
I like to have a lot of visual things around me and I find that nothing makes me feel more glamorous than art deco picture frames.
When I was getting my own place, and didn’t know much about style and found it all a little intimidating, a close friend told me, ‘Pick one thing that embodies your style and work out from that.’ The one thing I chose was an art deco picture frame and it’s kind of gone on from there.
I know it’s a little silly, but having my jewellery displayed in art deco picture frames, as well as beautiful glamorous art deco film stars, makes creating a look so much easier.

Art Deco Necklaces - choosing the perfect pendant
I was just looking at that picture in my last post about Mae West and thinking what a fabulous art deco necklace she was wearing.
It is simply stunning.
But you know what makes it so jaw-dropping? It’s the combination of the art deco necklace with that dress. I mean, imagine that art deco necklace on a high necked dress, or one without such a sweet-heart neckline. It simply wouldn’t have the same impact.
The thing that makes any art deco necklace so eye-catching is the outfit you put it with, something that many people overlook.
I think perhaps, people spend more time on deciding what shoes would look good with a dress rather than think about what art deco necklaces would look good, when really it should be the other way around.
Because, think about it, how many people will be looking down in the area where your shoes are and how many people will be looking in the area where your art deco necklace will be? See, it’s not rocket science, which is why it’s vital to pick the perfect art deco necklace that compliments your neckline. Here are some quick tips.
Firstly, remember the occasion. Don’t go overboard, a big diamond art deco necklace Read more
Art Deco Jewellery on Mae West
I’m working on a design for a wall hanging featuring an art deco design. (In my other life I work as a freelance writer and artist) and I needed some help.
The wall hanging is made from recycled material and at the centre it’s got a large moon, reflected in water with the profile of a glamorous woman to the right. She’s stood in a way so that it looks like she’s holding the moon and this woman couldn’t just be anyone. It had to be an art deco woman. From her silhouette, I wanted her to be synonymous with art deco style, celebrating the glamour and decadence of the era. So who did I go to for inspiration? Mae West of course!
Mae west, best known as actress, screenwriter and of couse, sex symbol was perfect for providing the motivation I needed. She was known for her wit and double entendres, many of which still feel great to say. My favourite Mae West quote being, Read more

They first started out around 400 B.C, according the Jewellery Information Centre and were worn by the Babylonians, Persians Hittites.
