Tatty Devine 'Best Of... Collection' Now In Store

These have to be seen to be believed - the photos just don't do them justice. My shipment from the designer jewellery label Tatty Devine is here and I have to say, that the ladies at Tatty Devine are brilliant. Not only are their designs original, they have put a lot of time and effort into their label and it shows. Even the necklaces have the signature 'Tatty Devine' plectrum on the chain.

Who says that jewellery has to be formal all the time? I think that a lot of people are opening up to the use of different materials in jewellery. And with so many of us wanting to change our looks and have fun with jewellery, cost is also a factor.

A trend that has been growing steadily in the past few years is the use of crystal glass, acrylic and resin, mixed in with precious metals like sterling silver and gold. While the materials aren't as costly, designers can be more creative while making a design with great quality. The rules are changing (thankfully) and I think we'll see a lot more of this for a while yet.

Here are my favourites from the Tatty Devine collection:

'Pegasus' earrings in black or mirror finish

Triple 'Crisps' Necklace (cast from real chippies) - Notice the 'Tatty Devine' imprinted on the Crisp? How's that for attention to detail?!
