Customer Christmas Photos

Here's my first post after a crazy Christmas! To ease me back into blogging here's a big photo post of pictures customers have sent me of their Oh Someday purchases over the festive season! I've got big plans for this blog this year so stay tuned!

My Favourite Commission: June

This one's not technically a commission but I just really wanted to share the amazing photo Ffion McKeown took of a necklace I made her as part of a swap for one of her stunning caligraphy pieces. The quote, "Tell me what it is you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" by Mary Oliver, has become really important to me and I've hung it next to my bed so it's the first thing I see every morning. You should definitely check out Ffi's Instagram to see the rest of her beautiful pieces and photos!

My Favourite Commisson: April/ May

I made this necklace and swapped it for a 12" single by Residence La Revolution called This Is Paint. It comes with a hand painted sleeve by Lee 'Scratch' Perry. It's made from thick hand cut and hand stamped brass and hangs on mint coloured vegetarian suede with a handmade red tassel.

You can only get this record by bartering with something you've made. It's such a great idea, being able to do trades is one of my favourite parts of having a creative business!

My Favourite Commissions: March

I couldn't decide which was my favourite out of these two silver necklace commissions from March so I thought I'd share both! If you've got an idea for a piece of jewellery you'd like feel free to get in contact :)

My Favourite Commission- January

Most of the pieces of jewellery I make are personalised items for customers or commissions, which I really love making, so I thought I'd share my favourite one from each month on this here blog. 

This Lyra constellation bracelet was my favourite from January, the customer who it was for really loved it too and said "(It was) a surprise gift for my husband and it has turned out absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much for all your input and making the most wonderful of items for me. Love it, as will he!"

I'm thinking about adding it as a regular item to my shop too so let me know what you think!

Style Tribes

Vanessa from Green Brick Vintage in Brighton, who stock a selection of Oh Someday Jewellery, was recently featured in The Telegraphs Style Tribes article. If you look really closely you can see that Vanessa's wearing a commissioned necklace I made for her (called The Nessa) made from Lapis Lazuli, brass and sterling silver. Here's a close up photo of it:
