The World of Kitsch LOVES Dirty Ruby from Argento

Image

When the wonderfully eclectic jewellery retailer Argento asked me to put together a 'stylist's pick' from their beautiful online range, I was immediately drawn straight to their new indie range Dirty Ruby. Can I just pick the whole range as my stylist pick?


The Dirty Ruby Roses Collection is a smoking hot collection of ice cream coloured roses in a range of juxtaposing colours and sizes. You can layer them up for eye popping style or stick to one colour theme with a full set of necklace, bracelet earrings and rings starting from just £7.50

They've pretty much got your festival season accessories sorted.

I picked the mint rose ring, which is perfect with the pistachio nail polishes in the stores this spring.

I also went for the dainty peach and lemon rose bud necklace. I think it would be lovely for a summer wedding outfit, if you aren't into wearing silver or gold.

These are just the tip of the pastel rainbow iceberg! Visit www.Argento.co.uk to peruse the whole range.

Twitter Acquires Posterous? I Want to Acquire These Hashtag Necklaces!

Twitter has bought up Posterous. Not too sure what this means yet for The World of Kitsch, which has proudly & handily been sailing upon the steady ship Posterous since it's inception.

I dread having to export my blog elsewhere, basically because I'm not very tech minded. This is the reason I use Posterous in the first place, it's so easy.

Anyway, a chance to share local lady Grainne Maher's snazzy hashtag jewellery. www.PluckandDevour.com Super cool brand name too, rarrrr!

Your Child's Doodle Made Into Jewellery

I love this idea.
http://www.etsy.com/shop/starsnscars

"Is your child a budding Picasso? The new Michaelangelo? Or a wannabe Warhol?
Now you can WEAR your kid's drawings, paintings, doodles and artistic smudges!
Simply send me a scan or photo of the artwork to use, and I'll carefully draw it onto plastic to be immortalised forever as a unique and highly personal necklace."
