Maybe it's my boyfriend talking about the new skull tattoo he's planning, but lately I seem to be (even more than usually) obsessed with bones. I do love a good anatomical reference and I think there's something truly beautiful about bones, whether it's the curve of someone's elegant clavicle or the old bones neatly arranged in the Natural History Museum in Kensington.
So it wasn't really a surprise to me when I fell in love with Ayaka Nishi's beautiful range of jewelry inspired by bones and available at Not Just A Label. The collections simple but striking lines are just lovely, in a sweetly gothic kind of way. (I'll be the first to admit that I'm a bit of a goth, though!)
The cuff is my favourite but, really: my bones would be happy to wear any of these bones on top.
Oh, this collection is gorgeous. I love the ring especially. Beautiful. x

oh wow they're so unusual. I wonder if how they would look in gold as that's my metal of choice! x

You should check out the new collection/website over at http://www.rpencore.com/ - as you know I am a long time fan and I am desperately wishing I could scrounge up cash to purchase... everything?!
The pigeon headband is still my absolute dream, if I suddenly come into £345 I will buy it without a moments hesitation. - but her new bone necklaces are to DIE for.
PUN TOTALLY INTENDED.
