White bead and gold bracelet
This bracelet has white moonstone, mother of pearl and crystal beads. It has small gold filled beads hanging from each strand. After having a ‘bringing up my kids’ break in career, I am very confused with the power of celebrity in the designer/shop world. It seems strange and sad to me that if a ‘celebrity’ wears a designers clothes/jewellery/bag that you are instantly hurled into being the ‘hottest new thing’, or am I missing the point? If I started wearing what the celebs wear would I become younger, thinner and happier?
You can buy this piece from my shop here.
