Designer Feature: Suzanna Dai

A friend of mine recently asked me to help her choose earrings for her wedding.  She was after sparkles but not white crystal rubbish, something with a bit more colour and a lot more elegance.
My internet trawlings led me to come across Suzanna Dai, via Boticca.com
Her pieces are so utterly amaze-balls that I just had to share them with you all.

Suzanna Dai's pieces are inspired by her travel and have a glamourous"old-world" appeal.  She uses beautiful stones and metallic thread to create these intricately embroided pieces.

But if wedding earrings aren't really your thing just yet, she also embroiders with our favourite, turqouise!

 

 

 

More amazing earrings in an array of colours...

 

 

 And AH-MAH-ZING necklaces...

The sad news, pieces via Boticca.com start at $150, however you can jag some sale items from $50 at the artists page www.suzannadai.com (which is awesome for unique designer pieces)
To check out her full range (and we all should, just be careful with the budget) visit...
www.suzannadai.com or http://boticca.com/suzannadai/all/#pieces

Don't drool too much.
Until next time,
Enjoy.

Topaz is tops for babes born in November

Who first comes to this world below
With drear November's fog and snow,
Should prize the topaz's amber hue,
Emblem of friends and lovers true.

Topaz can be found in a variety of colours from clear to orange to blue, however the precious topaz, and traditional stone for November, is the orange.

Topaz can be cut roughly or shaped in a variety of crystal formations.
Here I have featured a couple of different shapes and styles of topaz jewellery for inspiration for our November chics.

Enjoy,
Elle Effe xo
