Happy Monday my dear! The sun is out and the days are getting longer which is just fabulous, and to bring even more sunshine into my home, I bought these beautiful roses that you can see here are just soaking up the rays of light:

Now I have quite a few questions from you guys whether I intend to start designing my own jewellery for Decades of Elegance. It is definitely something that I would love to do one day, and I can’t imagine anything more amazing than creating a range of jewellery that bring our thoughts to the stunning decades-gone-by: rose gold that subtly shimmers around a pearl, art deco inspired earrings and rows of pearls à la Coco Chanel… yes, that will definitely have to happen one day.
On Saturday however, I found myself with some extra time on my hands and a few scraps of vintage jewellery from one of the Portobello Market-traders, so I started playing around:
Such an inspirational collection of things: vintage jewellery, silk ribbon…
I took a silk ribbon and joined all these beautiful pieces of costume jewellery together and ended up with a statement necklace in silver, gold and rose gold. I love mixing these metals, as it gives you so much more colour-freedom with the rest of your outfit:

I am wearing it here with a white lace dress and an oversized jumper in a soft mother-of-pearl colour. This outfit is my absolute favourite, and I just alternate between different coloured jumpers, mostly greys, golds and soft pinks. I just find that gold jewellery goes so beautifully with whites, although now I suspect that I will be throwing in more silver and rose gold to create this beautiful combination!
I would love to hear your thoughts – is this something you would wear, and if so, what would you wear it with?
