I made a promise to myself at the beginning of 2022 that I would be my authentic self, no more hiding the real me or being afraid or caring what others thought. I'm refashioned from the ashes and finally stepping into my own and The Bard sums up beautifully how I feel and what I remind myself every day: "to thine own self be true". I've always loved that quote and the play Hamlet as well (Ophelia is another fictional character I most identify with) and when I saw earrings with that specific quote and it included pen nibs in the unique design, I had to have them. All in the same week I also spotted moon ear drops that I have been searching years for and put those in my basket as well. Needless to say, I couldn't be more pleased with my purchases. "To Thine Own Self Be True" earrings This nifty little shop specializes in taking stamps from around the world and crafting them into wearable ear jewellery which I have never seen done before. The earrings themselves are extremely light and even though they are slightly laminated, the edges do not cut into my ears or face. Now I do have to take care as I'm sure one rainstorm and they would be ruined as they aren't solid, but that's a small thing to note and remember. Crescent Moon Earrings Admittedly these are my favourite out of the purchased pair and the ones I wear basically every night. They add just the perfect final touch of esoteric elegance, special meaning to any wardrobe choice and their delicate size is ideal for the professional setting. Absolutely lovely and a great starter piece from this unique shop (a custom is now brewing in my brain for later this year involving a choker made of one of the listed pendants).
