The Cabinet Studios elephant

I last blogged about this fabulous elephant here and now I have it in my hot little hands... it is so much more than just a charm necklace - this is a serious piece of eye-catching 'statement' jewellery (the elephant measures approx 4cm in diameter and has a nice chunky weight to it: you'd definitely set off the metal detectors at the airport with this baby). And it's all mine.

After much wistful thinking about it and many emails back and forth with Gemma, one of the designers behind Cabinet Studios, it arrived yesterday and I can't wait to wear it.  It comes suspended on a thick silk velvet ribbon, but I have a (small) obsession with green - and so I have used a chrysoprase necklace instead, made from beads bought from Precious Sparkle (they have a sale on which ends today).

Gemma and Zara of Cabinet Studios will be at London Fashion Week this February - catch up with their news on their blog.

Yes please

Isn't this beautiful?

There are lots of charm necklaces out there, and I think this elephant by Cabinet Studios is one of the best that I've found.

Cabinet are a newly established by Gemma Critchley and Zara Braganca, and their jewellery ranges from large statement necklaces and collars featuring textiles and beads, to smaller charm necklaces featuring an eclectic mix of animals, and earrings and rings in simple chic geometric shapes.

Contact Cabinet directly here at their Somerset studios; their fine jewels are also available from Young British Designers, and shops such as Kabiri.
