As I mentioned last summer, I’m getting into a bit of a ring obsession and am accumulating more and more as time goes on. I tend to be quite specific when it comes to ring designs but luckily there are some really beautiful designers out there whose work I love! Etsy is a great place to find rings and jewellery (as well as other handmade, beautiful accessories and clothing).
A few of my favourite sellers use Etsy to sell their wares. But also I find markets are a great place to find really unique designers. When I worked at The Clothes Show Live in December I treated myself on the last day to visiting some of the stalls and buying myself a little something. I stumbled across Silver Del Sol – a jewellery company that specialises in beautiful silver jewellery made with shells, semi-precious stones and materials.
The company founder, Claire and I got talking and turns out she sells her wares in Portobello Road market! Another of my favourite market haunts and one that I haven’t had chance to go back to in nearly two years. I loved her collection so much that I’m definitely heading over there soon to pick up some more goodies! Sadly they don’t have an active website at the moment, but I’ll keep my ear to the ground and if it goes live I’ll definitely let you guys know.
Another of my faves is Jewela from Etsy. Whilst I haven’t actually bought anything from them yet – as they’re sellers in Israel so there’s the additional cost of international shipping – I’ve been heading back to their online store every so often poring over some of my favourite pieces so much so I think I ought to put aside a little savings pot and treat myself!
The prices aren’t to everyone’s budget, but as they say on their page – they put a lot of effort into crafting each design and a really beautiful item of jewellery, if well-made and lovingly designed, will be something you wear for many years to come.
If you also like Jewela, I recommend you check out their other Etsy store Hadarjewelry. It’s a little smaller than Jewela, but nevertheless the pieces are beautiful and a definite winner for me.
Below are some of the favourite items of mine from Jewela and Hadarjewely currently on sale at the moment. To check out their Etsy shops just click on the hyperlinks above. To see more of what Etsy has to offer visit www.etsy.com. Prices will automatically appear in US Dollars but once you begin browsing Etsy detects where you’re visting from and converts to your currency so it’s all laid out for you, nice and easy!
