More Than Just A Bracelet.*

When looking at a piece of jewellery how do you decide whether you are going to buy it or not? Do you decide based on the price? Appearance? Packaging? Slogan? I do all but not all.

What first attracted me towards Sailbrace.co.uk was their slogan 'Anchor yourself to something special' I fell in love with the words and to me it had such a beautiful meaning. The slogan itself had made me want...need one of these bracelets but with such a large range of colours how was I supposed to choose?

I based my decision on the anchor itself as I owned a lot of Gold and Silver Jewellery but not yet Rose Gold. Being a typical blogger I obviously was  drawn into this. I then had the hard decision of the strap/rope however I went with something slightly neutral compared to that of the Rose Gold, so that the anchor was the main feature.

I have been wearing my Sail Brace bracelet for about a week now and I have to say it is the comfiest thing I've ever worn, half the time I forget I'm wearing it! Obviously the bracelet isn't waterproof because the 'strap' would get ruined but because it can easily be tied and re-tyed it is easy to remove for a shower!

The bracelet would be a perfect present for a best-friend or loved one at christmas as it is suggesting to them, that you don't want to lose them and fell like you need to hold them close. Guess my friends already know what they're getting for christmas,

I Designed A Necklace? | DIWAH*

    

        

    

A few months ago I collaborated with a gorgeous brand that allow you to either purchase a piece of jewellery from their website or you can design your own. I did the latter and decided to create an item that I have since fallen in love with.

Over on the DIWAH website I set about playing with all the features and ended up creating 3 different types of necklaces, before I decided on the final, named Smokey Droplets by the lovely designer.

The designing process itself was a lot easier than I anticipated, where you start by choosing your necklace chain (they've just released bracelets too!). I decided on the Collar as longer necklaces look funny on me so I wanted something I knew that I would wear again. Then you get to decide your desired beads, that you like most and there is lots of 'sections' if you like to choose from. I went with  classic as that suits my personality more but if you wanted something more edgy they do black, greens, blues you name it they will have it! The clasp, okay the clasp I choose is absolutely gorgeous. I originally choose it because it was so unique and I'd never seen anything like it before. Yet once it arrived I was so much more in love with the colour. It is called a Bright Rose Gold Spring Hoop, which by appearance reminded me a bit of something to do with a sailor... I'm not quite sure why but it did!

Once having created the design you add it to your cart and pay for it. Then one of the lovely designers (I had Laura, not that you get to decide who does it but just incase you were curious!) Would put together your necklace by hand and craft it just the way you had designed it. Below are some snaps they sent over to me of my necklace being made and oh my goodness why does everything look so photogenic it makes me so happy... back to the real world now.

The necklace arrived in a black sleek box with a pink bow around it as though it was a gift which I thought was such a special touch. The necklace itself was wrapped in many many layers of pink tissue paper to protect it while in the post!

If you want to order your own necklace design or see what else is available then head over to diwah.com and have a look around, play with the jewellery maker!
