Nimue

One day recently I discovered a small parcel of gemstones which I had completely forgotten about since we moved house last autumn (so many things went missing in that move). When I opened it I found a strand of finely faceted aquamarines, perfect for a feather-light bracelet. I used gold to link the stones, to give them a bit of warmth, and I've worn this bracelet ever since. I've called it Nimue, for I think these translucent greens and blues conjure up a delicate image of the Lady of the Lake...

This slim bracelet featuring beautiful faceted rondelles of violet Tanzanite and Sterling Silver is lovely on its own, or mix it a stack of Silver bracelets for a more ethnic feel.

Comment te dire tout est bleu...

I am in love with the beautiful blues from Ralph Lauren's spring-summer collection. Never mind the oddness of couture referencing the American depression and dust-bowl farmhands in faded dungarees... it is just lovely. (I found myself outside the RL emporium on Bond Street the other evening, and I was probably lucky that they had already closed for the day!)
Here are my blues for the day...
