I am feeling the need to upgrade the ring situation. Each of my rings that I wear every day has a story, except one which was intended as a temporary thing, but I've been wearing for two years. The thing is, I find it hard to find jewellery I like in London. It's a hard life, I know. I don't want to buy mountains of gold and gemstones, but I'd like to look at some stunning baubles please. Obviously I can walk along Burlington Arcade and Bond Street to gawp at delicious antique diamonds, but I'd like to gawp at something that, should I really fall in love with it I could potentially afford and wear every day. The only place I can ever think of in London is Kabiri, then Liberty and Selfridges. In any other city I know, I would have a little jewellery place I'd be dying to visit, whose aesthetic fits with my own. Somewhere I could just you know, go and swoon, marvel at the beauty, that kind of thing. I love the stuff from Aesa but there's nowhere in London that stocks it currently. What I want is something that isn't in the pretty pretty cute and delicate vein or the I'm a Hell's Angel vein or the I've been on a gap year and bought these ethnic trinkets vein, but is something different. Finally, last night I saw a ring by Macha, which as luck would have it is London based. I love all the rings, all of them. You must go to their etsy shop or site so that I don't end up grabbing every single photo to show you. Let's stick to rings:
