Hello my lovely, I hope that you had a wonderful weekend! I sure did, as I visited BADA Antiques & Fine Art Fair together with a friend on Saturday, before going for the most yummy chai tea latte on Duke of York Square, at a café that I think was called Startisan. I am really into lovely food that you can eat with a good conscience, so their sugar and gluten free Banana and Maple Bread was the most wonderful treat!
Oh and I am SO sorry that last week was just a mess here on the blog, with only a blog post on Tuesday! The reason for this is that I am preparing for a very special day and so I am a bit behind on all things at the moment, so thank you my dear for understanding!
Everything from paintings to jewellery and furniture in the most stunning designs…
Okay let’s hop back to the BADA fair!! It was buzzing with people – from the general browsers and admirers to antiques dealers – and all the stands were obviously covered in stunning antique furniture and jewellery. First I briefly popped by Wakelin & Linfield Antiques – you might remember the blog post about their stunning 19th century Italian oak table with a trompe d’oeil Pietra Dura marble top: Wakelin & Linfield Antiques at LAPADA 2014
Richard Ogden – diamond Ring BADA Antiques & Fine Art Fair
… and soon we found ourselves at Richard Ogden, where my friend lots her heart to this stunning 3ct cushion cut diamond, which I have the pleasure of looking at every day in the shop:

You can see the beautiful range of diamond bracelets from Richard Ogden as well above: from the thinner tennis bracelets on the left to the more elaborate 1930’s Art Deco diamond bracelet on the right… how much do we love!?

We then continued on to Johnson Walker Ltd, where a friend of mine was working behind the counter – such a lovely small world it is, the antique jewellery business in London! Some stunning signed gold pieces above…

… not to mention the glorious gemstones – Burmese Rubies, stunning sapphires and dazzling emeralds. Do you see any new favourites?
So if you get a chance to visit the fair their last day is tomorrow, but it is so worth popping by!
