Details: Terracotta jewellery from Anjuly!

Anjuly came back from India a couple of weeks ago and she brought Shriya and I presents: really cool terracotta jewellery sets!  I just wanted to share them because I thought they were very unique-looking and I had also been secretly looking for a bib sort of necklace for ages and Anjuly read my mind.  I've never had terracotta jewellery before and it looks really different from all the plastic and metal that you get, much more organic.

Aren't the colours on the set amazing?  I love the little details - like the diamond shaped pieces have an arrowhead look going on in the corners and the little swirly things actually look like hamsas.  Also, the necklace is adjustable so it can sit like a collar or a lower bib.  I just think it's super cool.  So, thanks very much Anjuly!

Shriya and I played a game where we each took a box and looked into it without showing each other and then decided whether we wanted to swap or keep the jewellery set we'd look at.  It was like the Monty Hall dilemma because we'd both seen what we were holding, but couldn't guess what the other had and we amused ourselves by trying to convince each other that ours was better.  In the end we swapped and kept the one we hadn't seen!  Shriya's set was equally great though, all these beads in bluey-green colours.

I'm not really the kind of person to wear earrings or necklaces in matching sets, so I just wore the necklace by itself for coffee with a friend earlier this week.  Here's a quick look at the full outfit: I wanted to keep it simple and almost monochrome because the necklace makes a bit of a statement already.  The uber cool crystals were a present from my mother when we went to Portobello.

By the way, I haven't been reporting estimated temperature for a while.
Here, it's about 14 degrees!

What about you guys?  Do you wear necklace/earring sets together and how do you do it without looking too matchy matchy?  I'd love to know!  And finally:

Tattybye!
