I’m all for dainty, simple jewellery and I tend to wear the same pieces every day, but from time to time I will add either some kind of cocktail ring, one of my beloved ring bracelets or, this double chain ring: which is basically a mini version of a ring bracelet for your finger. It [...]

I got the idea for this DIY from this lovely mixed metal bracelet from Jewelmint. I love how they used rings in different colours and shapes to make a bracelet. I was really sad when I found out that Jewelmint doesn’t ship to Europe, but I figured this is what DIY is all about: making [...]
