JEWELLERY: …. And Old Lace

WE COULDN’T HELP but fall for French stylist Emma Cassi’s intricate, textile-based jewellery. For us (as seen on London-based Emma’s webshop - we are especially hankering after her gold lace bow corsages, and bead embroidered lace and silk ribbon necklaces), and her first collection for them (sold at Little Circus shop), from 35-50 Euros. Emma made her first piece for tiny ones when creating a christening bracelet for her goddaughter two years ago. She continued making wooden bead necklaces, like the one pictured left, until she finally formalised an entire collection for babies and girls earlier this year.

So if your little girl is going to wear jewellery, you can now make it the real deal in vintage lace embroidered with silver thread (on the bracelets for babies), glass or wooden beads, antique sequins, and vintage fabrics, all fastened with tiny mother of pearl buttons. Parfait.
