1. The 'Rainbow Twist' Necklace - http://www.badcandy.co.uk/product/new-rainbow-twist
Why? Obviously summer brings a desire for more colourful jewellery and we like the fact that this piece does it in an inventive way. It mixes architectural with dreamy and fantastical, a definite plus. Moreover it's unique and unlike the same 'types' of jewellery we see time and time again when we're viewing potential designs. Jewellery follows a similar premise to fashion in that what you may initially seem nice pretty cool gets regurgitated over and over by exporters to meet the current trend and mass market. While this suits big stores and is a positive thing, it's not quite how we work. We try to bring you individuality and boldness that the High Street doesn't cater for. This is a prime example, a superb addition to any summer wardrobe.
2. The 'Steam Reflections' Necklace - http://www.badcandy.co.uk/product/new-steam-reflections
Why? While we've been long time fans, Steampunk and Victoriana are now really starting to tap into the general market and here is a great compromise. We set out on a mission to find a happy medium, something that hints at that aforementioned but is still accessible and easily wearable for a fashion queen or high street lover. We felt this lovely necklace fulfilled both criteria, a pretty generic butterfly combined with a lovely ornate Victoriana mirror on an long chain, all finished in a great antiqued gold colour. Perfect, affordable and easy for anyone to wear. A real hit.
3, The 'Classical Cameo' Necklace - http://www.badcandy.co.uk/product/new-classical-cameo
Why? We had been looking for a suitable cameo necklace for a while, for the same reasons as mentioned in the previous post. We had seen many and not quite fallen in love with them, or they had been very expensive to stock and therefore out of the kind of price range we prefer to bring to you. Then we saw these and were sold straight away. The lady in the relief is so beautifully classical, how could we say no? Detail really is everything with cameos, we saw many that were rather flat and 2d, and just felt they weren't quite right - this lady on the other hand is wonderful. This cameo comes in a gold and sepia or a blue and white finish, both with a few little coloured stones set into the frame edges. Amazingly we actually initially bought limited stock to trial them and ran out of the blue and white before we could even get them in the online store! Don't worry though, they will be there soon!
