I meant to hold onto these reviews until after I was able to get my tresses trimmed and coloured plus could take (or attempt to; sorry I'm not photographer) a more flattering picture, but who knows when that'll be and with so many opportunities occurring at the moment for everyone to get outside (on the porch, deck or breezeway; let's not go crazy now), shut off the lights to embrace the darkness and stare into the vast heavens for once in a lifetime astronomic type shows, this just seemed like the perfect time to share my mini earring haul from Serene Garlands Vampire Bat Earrings - Count Dracula - Gothic Victorian Demon - Crimson Red Blood Swarovski - Silver Gargoyle In the description on the shop page it says these were fashioned after a famous guitar player (I wonder who?) but for me when I first saw them, the iconic quote "I have crossed oceans of time to find you" immediately came to mind and I got chills even before reading the name of the creation or accompanying writeup. I had to have them. Now that I am fortunate to wear such stunning trinkets, I can see the workmanship and detail in the metal and the almost supernatural glow of the red crystals (honestly is there anything better than Swarovski? I don't think so). What a dazzling find and I can't wait to don these beauties and turn some heads. I've never seen anything like them and they really are heirloom quality. Art Nouveau Earrings, Half Moon Earrings, Moon Goddess Earrings, Moon Earrings, Art Nouveau Lady Goddess Earrings, Celestial, Stevie Nicks Another unique design I have never seen before and I fully admit once I learned they were based on one of my favourite musicians, into the basket they went, haha. I also adore the Art Nouveau movement in art and furnishing motifs so these pieces of mini art called to me from many angles. Wearing them, they are light, silhouette my neck nicely and the flash and twinkle of the moonlight crystal is a lovely finishing touch. They came in the option of silver or brass and the silver matches everything in my wardrobe and yes I have been singing Rhiannon in the vanity mirror since they have arrived. I'd say my first 2 purchases were first-rate successes and I have dozens of additional pieces waiting in my basket from Serene Garlands and The Mourning Era (both owned by the same jewellery artist) one shop showcases lovely cherubs, roses and iconic birds and the other storefront makes my black little heart flutter with all the elegant Victorian-esque gothic jewellery options. It's like two sides of a personality, I love it! Serene Garlands |
