My Latest Jewelery Collection!

Adonis has grown in leaps and bounds, I would like to thank everyone for your inspirational pics and the love you guys send me every week. The collection was based on Grecian jewelery-meets- cosmic tribalism. The collection's inception was a picture of a vine reaching out to the sky and being pulled into what can almost be called a cosmic frenzy- Blame the 80's. 

Anyway, after LOTS of research and designing, this is what we came up with! Ear wraps, earcuffs, Chandelier earrings, statement necklaces... and they were a huge hit! Adonis will be launching on ASOS Marketplace soon. In the mean time you can inbox me for payment and shipping details! 

DIY Ear Cuffs.

 

The moment I saw Ear Cuffs I knew this was something I would totally wear/DIY. The style was right up my alley and when I saw them at Chanel, I was a goner.

 

 

 

 

Make sure you have very good glue and paper when you start. Cut out paper in the shape of your ear. start gluing the diamontes onto the cardboard. Make sure when you do this that the paper is flat. Use a strong glue. When your finished, take two (or three) ear clips and stick it at the back. Make sure you stick it with very strong glue. Of course, use good quality ear clamps. Finish with a chain and your done! If you want, You can ad more chains- the choice is yours. The finished result is eyecatching and totally spot on trend! Go on and bedazzle your ears!

Matter Of Style DIY -Studded Earrings.

If you ever want a great source for DIY inspiration you can always trust Matter Of Style to deliver.

One of her latest DIYs took my breath away!! This is so going in my 'To Do' list.

*sigh*.Bad ass.

What you need is

Glue

Nail Polish (Glitter & Dark polish)

Pearls

Plastic Forks

To keep pearls and other stuff from rolling while you're painting them you can temporarily glue them on a piece of paper using the glue gun

 

Good pearls gone bad: Paint the plastic forks pieces with black nail polish and then glue them onto the pearls. Once everything is dry insert the metallic wire into the pearl and make a loop with pliers. Connect the spiky pearl to a piece of chain. Add a earring hook and you've done.

Pearl Necklace DIY !!

I think my sudden love for pearls started when I went to a jewlery store and

saw a simple strand of pearls being sold for the most ridiculous price.

That pretty much started my love for pearl necklaces cause I thought if

I can make it, why buy it?

So I put my little twist on it and voila!

This tutorial is pretty simple - you can create endless possibilites

from a strand of pearls

Just remeber the neclace should fit over your head

and your good to go

String up pearls till they fit over your head. Thread both strings through the last bead

Start threading a pearl through each pearl in the necklace. Since its plastic wire you're using, it will

flip each bead to different sides which is what you want.

Halfway done..let the pearls rest on alternate sides

It shouuld look something like this - dont worry if it doesnt!
The beauty is in the imperfections!
