I think you should get married... x

Hello hello my fellow Jewellery lovers!

Happy Monday to you all and I wish you all a fresh start into the week :)

As Spring has sprung and we are heading to a very promising summer, love is most definitely in the air! So many beautiful weddings have taken place already this year and many more are to come, not to talk of the more frequently occurrings of PDAs everywhere and ANYWHERE. I love talking about weddings (I mean forever asking my friends to get married), because, I am sure you agree, I associate those days with joy, happiness and laughter. The next logical thing to do was to start a new board on Pintarest: Nigerian Beauts. It is full of happy brides and gorgeously dressed wedding guests, and their inspirational jewellery.

Corals

Hi guys!

When I started writing this, I was on a bus in Da Lat, Vietnam, and I thought that there was no better place than here to write about colourful and traditional jewellery. The Vietnamese streets, fabrics and culture are full of colourful traditions, and it has certainly inspired me to write about my own culture.
Similarly in Nigeria, our culture oozes beauty and extravagance, especially during occasions like weddings. Here the guests and bride & groom wear beautiful, decorative and traditional fabrics, which have been planned many months in advance. 

But of course, if you have your best shoes and clothes on, you want to complete the look with equally as gorgeous jewellery. These are made of beads of all colours, shapes and sizes, which complement the traditional fabrics very well - from coral beads to stunning fasceted beads!
