Up until this evening I really wasn't having a good jewellery day. My favourite necklace broke into many pieces and scattered all over the road as I ran to catch the bus this afternoon. Hurrumph. However, when I got home I was pleased to see my Keerstin Wintrup snake necklace arrived, and there was a belt in there too! Hurrah!
Keestin is a designer from LA and her work is based on the styles of ancient Greece and Native American. I have had a love affair with Native American jewellery for a great many years.
This necklace and belt also remind me of a necklace the Queen Mum bought me when I was a 13 - it was one of those 80's snake necklaces. You know, the ones that were tubular chain and painted black (mines was black) with a gold snake head and tail? I completely loved it. I wore it so much the enamel paint wore off. Admittedly Keerstin's version is much more refined.
It seems that her website isn't up and running yet but you can buy yourself some serpentine action at Bona Drag.
