Heavenly Jewellery From Annie Haak

Hello Everyone,

I hope you are all well & having a lovely week?
Mine hasn't been too bad this week I have to say. I think I am nearly fully recovered from my operation now so I am feeling more like myself & less tired. Which is great news :) 
I took my nephew into town yesterday to give my sister some time to herself & he was as good as gold. I definitely enjoy spending time with him. He's always so content. 

Like any other girl I absolutely love jewellery! It's one of those things you can never have enough of simply because every piece is different & unique. I don't like to wear loads of it & there is only certain pieces I wear. For example I'm not one for hoop earrings or dangling earrings I only wear studs, rings I don't wear so if I ever get engaged & married one day having a ring on my hand everyday will be a weird feeling! Then necklaces I only like something of a simple design nothing chunky. But one thing I do always have on is a watch & bracelets. I am such a sucker for a set of lovely bracelets & recently I have come across a brand that I have fallen in love with their jewellery!

Annie Haak which are a jewellery brand I think like no other. All of their pieces are sterling silver, gold or rose gold. Which means the best stuff to have your jewellery made out of. No item turning your finger or wrist green from the makes not real gold can give you. Who wants that look right? So I always think spending more on them is worth the money. Not only that but the designs of the pieces of jewellery are not like anything I've seen. They really are beautiful! Annie takes her inspiration for her jewellery from Bali, so she has factored in the local floral details, people, colours & patterns found in the local markets & villages. Most of the designs carry a special meaning through the mantra's or symbols such as luck, love, protection, strength & wellbeing. Not only that but you can have certain pieces personalised to a special recipient or even for yourself whether it be initials or symbols, charms or an engraved message. 

There literally is something to suit everyone. The stacking bracelets do come in sterling silver, gold bracelets, rose gold, or a mixture. They even do wedding jewellery which is gorgeous & a perfect gift for bridesmaids or for the bride to wear on her day. 

I spotted a beautiful set of stacking bracelets called Santi Tassel Silver Charm Bracelet which had a motto written on a heart charm on one of the bracelets. There is several mottos you can engraved on them I chose the words:

"Ride the waves of life with courage and love"

I absolutely love this quote. It reminds me a bit of the quote from the newest Cinderella "Have Courage & be kind" I have always loved quotes & these are just so fitting & something to think of everyday. What better way than having a bracelet to wear with it on. The bracelets also have heart charm to one of them, a tassel on another & half moon spacers with hearts engraved on them. So in total you get 3 bracelets which make up the most beautiful stack. All unique & equally gorgeous.

One other issue I do have with like bracelets is the size of them. I will admit I have the tiniest wrists going & they literally are like children's wrists. So I do struggle with finding jewellery that fits me. But with Annie Haak they come in different sizes so I can pick the right size for my wrists so they do just fall off which is perfect!

All of the pieces come in a box, with draw string bags so they are well protected from getting damaged or scratched. They also come with a polishing cloth to keep your items in perfect shiny condition. Because Annie Haak is hand crafted with the highest quality 925 sterling silver, 14ct gold & rose gold plate. Also all of their jewellery comes with a 12month warranty from the date of purchase. Any fault will be repaired free of charge under the 12 month warranty. 

I literally have not come across a brand like this, not only that but the service I received with spot on & that always makes me want to go back to company to buy from them again as it was such a breeze. 

So if you have a friends, or relatives birthday coming up or even if you want a treat for yourself definitely check them out! They will not receive another gift like it.

Little Unique Piece

Hello everyone! 
I hope you are all well? So Monday is here & gone already.
Just like the weekend did, I swear you really do blink & the weekend just goes. I didn't have an overly busy weekend but I did take a trip to lakeside for abit of retail therapy. As always it does make you feel good. The primark is just amazing! It's massive! You could literally get lost in there. I did get a fair bit I will admit. But hey I think I jolly well deserved a treat. 

As you may know from a previous blog post of mine I am a big lover of jewellery. 
I like more personal pieces & unique ones. As opposed to ones you pick up in say a normal kind of jewellers like beaver brooks & things. I like to have pieces that not everyone has & you can personalise if you wish to. 

Recently I've come across a brand called Yasmin Marie. Which I found the pieces of jewellery to be so unique which I absolutely love! The brand hasn't been running all that long. They officially launched in November 2016. By a lady called Yasmin Marie Tubbritt with her aim to create a brand which was unique, fun & interesting. All their pieces are made with 925 sterling silver & rhodium plating which fits in nicely with the vintage theme which Yasmin takes her inspiration from. I think it works oh so well! 

Each piece is designed to give the customer a choice on how they want to wear it. Which means they are very universal. Some people choose not to buy a pendant piece to add to the bracelets. They buy the bracelet. Remove the stoppers & just wear it plain. Or it can be worn with a pendant you purchase by being added to the bracelet like a charm. But the great thing is you can simply buy one pendant or more & add it to the bracelet to create a charm bracelet look. Which  I love about the collections because I love charm bracelets. It's like building a piece of new jewellery which tells a story of you or that you want to tell. Necklaces can also be taken apart & the pendant can be removed & added to a bracelet. So you basically get to customise your own piece & make it unique to you & I just love that idea that not one piece is the same. 

Items can be brought together as a set or as individuals. Depending on what you are looking for. So you can purchase a standard bracelet & then buy the pendant that you want to add to it or buy the necklace & then add the pendant you wish to it. You really can mix it up & style it just how you wish to. 

It's such a unique style & way of things! The designs are nothing like I've seen from any other company. I think anyone who creates a business of their own from scratch & has amazing ideas & strive to dream big about their company is amazing. I truly do. It's people like that who I think we should support more. The smaller businesses & help make their dream come true. I much rather would buy from smaller businesses now as opposed to big brands. Because the quality of the products, the customer service you receive is more pleasant, you help support their own dream & the products are more unique & not massed produced. I know what I'd much rather. I just really wish more people would. 

The piece I fell in love with was the bracelets. Like I mentioned earlier I love charm bracelets so to me they stood out. I choose the  classic bracelet with the floral key pendant. Simply because it's such a beautiful design & I am definitely a sucker for floral patterns. It is just beautiful! The key pendant has a dainty floral design to the middle of the key. Which a crystal located at the top of link that goes on the bracelet. Also two stoppers which keep the pendant in place & from slipping off the bracelet. So like a safety net. 

I literally am in love with the piece & have had so many comments about it from people. It definitely makes amazing arm candy! 

I will definitely be adding to my collection & building it up. Especially when more pendants become available. They are a brand worth looking out for because I truly believe they are going to be big!

A little personal touch

12:54pm 
Happy Saturday everyone!
Hope you all have a good week, I had a week off work & I have been sick for the whole week of it & still do not feel 100% I cannot seem to shift it at all. I'm hoping it will soon pass because I feel so awful. I hate being poorly! 

As you all know from my previous posts I am a total sucker for personalised goods! I got my gorgeous keyring from DS London & a personalised phone case too. I think I just love anything that I can put my name on to be honest. Surely I cannot be the only person who loves abit of personalised things? 

I haven't really owned anything personalised jewellery wise. I have had the odd beaded bracelet but that is about it. So for a while now I have been toying with the idea of getting a necklace or bracelet personalised of course! But I kept deciding otherwise until I came across a shop on depop. For those of you or don't know what depop is it's an app where you can join & sell clothes, etc & purchase things...

I came across Di's Gems & loved the personalised items available! I am not a fan of big chunky jewellery because I have the most skinny little wrists & big necklaces tend to not really suit me. So I do tend to shy away from them but these were small & dainty! Just perfect for me! 
She did a number of personalised items necklaces & bracelets. They are come in more than one style & both in silver or gold but I'm more of a silver jewellery kind of girl. Apart from costume jewellery I guess you could say. So the fact there was different styles & things were perfect! As it gives people a choice. Where as some places I have seen that have done them have just been one style. 

When contacting to order I found it most friendly & welcoming & so helpful! As I have also previously said I love a place with good customer service as it's so important. 

I think these items are just perfect for Christmas gift ideas what with that time of year nearly upon us! 
Which I find just crazy! For anyone who loves personalised items or you are looking for something else different I definitely recommend checking out Di's Gems. She will be having a website go live soon but in the mean time you can purchase in other ways! Facebook, twitter or Instagram. 
I will list the contact details below for them. 

I simply love them! The bangle especially teamed up with a nice watch! Perfect arm candy!
