Sweet stackable rings


Do you remember the stackable rings we featured back in May from Ernest Jones? It seems they're not the only retailer to embrace the mix and match style.

Folksy designer Chris Parry has created a range of personalised rings and silver accessories that feature fingerprints or famous sayings. The rings above (£40) are displayed with a whimsical poem, but you can have them printed with whatever takes your desire. Which might make a nice engagement and wedding ring set for a couple.


DaWanda seller Inmost_light offers these stackable rings that feature tiny dangling charms. Snap them up for 7 Euros each.


ASOS offer a cheap and cheerful version of the trend with these stackable flower rings, £8. Click on the image to be taken directly to the shop.

ASOS Twisted Twilight Mix And Match Stud Set


Who's off to see Twilight this weekend? I've got tickets for one of the early screenings, and I don't mind admitting that I'm really, really, really excited.

What better way of celebrating the release of the latest Twilight film then with some vampire-inspired earrings. These mixed studs from ASOS (£8) have a gothic theme, so you've got the spider webs, crosses and skulls of sterotypical vampires, along with a gorgeous chandelier stud. If anyone from ASOS is reading this, please make the chandelier studs in a pair!

What do you think about the Twilight films? Like the gothic style?

DIY: Jewellery charms on DaWanda


If you're not familiar with DaWanda, it's a European online marketplace, similar to the concepts of Etsy and Folksy. It's a really nicely designed site, and I found myself having a good browse of the section for jewellery supplies. If you fancy making your own jewellery, you might like some of these pieces:

The wishing well silver charms above are from a seller called TheSecretGarden, priced at 0.99 € each.


Martini Glass charms from Nicoledebruin, priced at 1.60 € per pair.


Antique Silver Rose Flower Pendant from FindingSupplies, priced at 2.00 €

There's a huge amount of choice, so it's worth a browse for any budding designers.

Chavtastic necklace from Lily Butterfly

Featuring Lily Butterfly on Bling and Buy has been on my To Do list for a while now. I've been chatting with Jo from Lily Butterfly on Twitter for a few weeks, and she's really passionate about jewellery. So much so that she has her own range of jewellery.

The Chavtastic necklace above features a $old plaque, dollar sign and pastel coloured flower.

It's a tongue-in-cheek look at bling jewellery and the chav culture, much like Bling and Buy itself, so it's the perfect match!

The Chavtastic necklace is £7.99. Would you wear it?

Etsy find: Kitsch necklaces by PenelopesPorch


Bling and Buy has been a bit of a mixture of kooky, expensive and classic pieces recently, so I think it's about time we revisited an old favourite: Kitsch.

This Tiny Pearl Ring in a Gift Box Necklace ($16) is from Etsy seller PenelopesPorch. The delicate little ring is adorned with a sizeable pearl, and wrapped up in faux wrapping paper and a bowed polka dot box. The whole charm hangs off a blue bead necklace, although you can have the colour of the chain changed.

It's the box that initially drew me into this design, which is reminiscent of a luxury box of chocolates. A further browse of the shop revealed this mini retro toaster and pop tart necklace ($14.50) below.


Like most of the Etsy sellers, PenelopesPorch is based in the USA (California), but postage is really affordable at $3.50.

Are you a fan of kitsch jewellery? What do you think about these pieces?

Juicy Couture jewellery you'll actually like

Hard to believe, right? The highly mocked WAG label Juicy Couture has really surprised me with some stunning necklaces, pretty charms and gorgeous clothing at ASOS this season.

Gone are the velour tracksuits and tacky handbags. Instead you'll find pieces like the floral cluster pendant above (£76)

They've even got some intricate little charms like this kitsch watering can (£49)


And some very bling earrings, like this 'Kiss and Hug' pair (£51)


What do YOU think about the new range?

EB by Erickson Beamon Gold coloured butterfly earrings from Debenhams


On Saturday, I treated myself to a little bit of retail therapy after a fairly hectic week. And possibly because I ignored my own advice and left buying a Father's Day present until the very last minute. Again.

Anyway, whilst browsing in Debenhams, I came across these butterfly hoops above. They're currently reduced to £4.80 in the sale, from £6, and they'll look really pretty paired with a simple summer dress and messy bed hair.

Zoe Sernack quirky sterling silver charms


Nope, I haven't suddenly developed an affection for dodgy WWF action figures (thank god). Look closely and you'll notice each figure is modelling a quirky charm from Australian artist and jewellery designer Zoe Sernack.

Head over to The Grand Social and you can pick up some of the pieces, including a silver Mr Potato Head,  a mini ghetto blaster and a balloon dog. The stationery addict in me loves this pencil sharpener one ($71)

Are you a charm collector?
