Get Ready For Golden Hour
Charlotte Prichard, 18 September 2019
Mind that dormouse as you pocket a couple of plump, sunkissed blackberries and tuck a bramble flower behind your ear, the Golden Hour is here!
We’ve taken inspiration from *time* of the day just after sunrise or just before sunset when the light takes on a soft, reddish glow than when the sun is at its highest point in the sky. Think well-thumbed Beatrix Potter books, handmade quilts, and warming teacups of fruit tea, as the wildflower garden just beyond your windowpane comes alive in the golden glow…
Aw nuts, we have a feeling the Large Woodland Embroidery Necklace will be the top of everyone’s wish list this autumn! Laser-cut links of glitter, tortoiseshell and gloss acrylic recreate motifs commonly seen in Alencon lace; from rustling leaves to chirruping sparrows, supersized for all the fancy fall feels. Shrinking wallflower? Our Woodland Embroidery Pendant will do just the trick!
Take your pick from glossy, Swarovski crystal element studded blackberries, laser cut in varying tones of purple acrylic, interspersed with marbled leaves and delicate blossom. Pair the Blackberry Bramble Flower Necklace with crisp white cotton blouses and cosy mohair cardigans. Pair the subtly chic Bramble Flower Drop Earrings with the Bramble Flower Pendant for a modern Mod mood.
Old school Tatty Devine fan? You’re toad-ally going to love this one: we’ve dipped into the archive to bring back a cult piece from our AW07 ‘The Dark Stages’ collection and reimagined it in a shimmering new colourway… Yep, we’re serving full Thumbelina feels in the Toadstool Brooch and Pendant.
Sew now, seeing as it *is* our 20th birthday this year, we thought it was only right that another cult piece made a triumphant return: enter the Ric Rac Necklace - Gold Dust. AW09’s homage to classic ric rac ribbon trim has been given the Midas touch, now available in sparkling micro glitter gold acrylic, we’ve even whipped up a pair of matching Ric Rac Earrings - Gold Dust. Now, go forth and shimmer!
‘Tis the season for endless snoozing and copious treats… for our Cosy Cat Brooch - Ginger, that is! We’ve recreated a sleepy feline in marbled auburn acrylic, popped on a colour pop turquoise cushion, best pinned against chunky knits or teddy bear coats for ‘wish I was still in bed’ realness.
"Everybody wants to be a cat because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at..." For those who listen to The Aristocats soundtrack more than they should, enter the Cosy Cat Necklace. We’ve laser cut smokey Silver Pearl acrylic to recreate a snoozing kitty, popped on a pearlescent pink cushion and suspended from an adjustable gold-tone chain. Pair with the Cosy Cat Drop Earrings - Silver Pearl and a purrfectly cute peter pan collar. Minimalist? Enter the Cosy Cat Face Pendant - Silver Pearl.
Crumbs! You need the ever so sweet Dormouse Necklace and Brooch in your wardrobe. We’ve laser cut marbled and micro glitter acrylic to recreate a delicate little dormouse, perched upon a bramble leaf, its glossy snoot etched and inked by our team of talented rodent wranglers. The finishing touch? A beady Swarovski crystal eye. Wink!
We’re calling it: the Rosehip Necklace and Rosehip Statement Necklace will be on your wishlist this party season. Marvel at our hand curved berries, laser cut in deeply glamorous shades of glitter and gloss purple, red and orange and topped with hand pinned metallic sequins. The perfect addition to sparkle up *that* cosy jumper you wheel out every year as soon as you feel a little chill in the air… We’re putting ours on in 3, 2, 1…
Take a sip from the Teacup Necklace. Big on a brew or two? We’ve recreated a dainty teacup in laser-cut cream acrylic, complete with delicate Memphis dash etched details and there’s even an etched and inked Tatty Devine teabag label dangling over the rim. Work over high necked jumpers and pretty pinafores for full Miss Tiggywinkle realness!
“Late at night while you're sleepin', poison ivy comes a-'creepin' around…” You need our NEW Ivy Tendril Necklace - Emerald and Ivy Tendrils Earrings - Emerald. Layer up in etched emerald mirror and green glitter leaves, all individually laser cut and hand-linked in our Kent studio just before sunset to mimic trailing vines of glamourous ivy leaves. Fall for our fancy foliage that’s infused with folkore - did you know that ivy is considered to be a powerful protective evergreen plant?
