Necklaces






It started about 11 years ago...my addiction to necklaces
I love them
I could and do wear one almost everyday
I have a few that I can't take off
Someone once told me they didn't recognize me
because 
I didn't have a necklace on...
That is when I knew I had a problem


Image



I bought one similar to this from
Mollie Storey at Davis-Group a few years back and I never get tired of it

Betteridge Collection 18k Gold Double Circle Link Long Necklace


Beautiful.....







A friend gave this to me last year and I never take it off....

Happy Wednesday!

India Hicks: Trendsetter


Mollie Storey from Davis Jewelry 
 (a trendsetter herself) and I are doing another joint post!!
Today our topic
is

India Hicks: 
Interior Designer, Jewelry Designer, Mother of Four
Trendsetter of Style and all that is FABULOUS....

Daughter of the famed David Hicks and Lady Mountbatten and
 the god-child of Prince Charles.
India has been taking the design community by storm in recent years.  Her casual but elegant interiors are so relevant in the way we live today! 



She is known for her casual but elegant interiors...in her living room above you can see how beautiful antiques are mixed with casual pieces.  You can really live in her spaces - all I want to do is grab her fabulous coffee table book and curl up on the sofa...

I can't get enough of the white painted floors and I adore the birdcage!
Her favorite works of art are hand painted panels that her grandmother had done by Rex Whistler in 1937...
her grandmother opted to have them done on panels instead of on the wall and during World War II they were moved and avoided being destroyed in a bomb attack.

Here India is in a shot in front of the beloved panels that never go out of style...

I love the way she hangs groupings of art in every space...
after successfully taking on the interior design world
she has recently launched a new
fine jewlery line....you can check it out here
Below are pendant medallions that have her new logo...
LOVE!!!

To learn more about her jewelry head over to
See what Mollie has to say!
