January Jewels

January is a month of new beginnings and a time when we begin to look forward and think about items will want to buy and wear in Spring. It's also a quiet, dull time of year when most are on a comedown from the high of Christmas and New Year and are likely to crave a little something to cheer them up. That little something is a trinket or two from www.thequeensbeads.co.uk. It's the brainchild of my friend Layla who makes her own pretty and very wearable jewellery. The website has some lovely pieces and the two bracelets below will be on sale soon.

 This leather bracelet with metal charm is simple but stylish and it is adjustable to fit any wrist. It's the type of piece that you can start wearing now and it will see you through to Spring and Summer.

This leather wrap bracelet transports me to a sun drenched beach and will be perfect to wear in the summer or on holiday. It is designed to wrap around the wrist three times and is made from cream leather, wooden beads and a button. It would look perfect with a white dress or suit and also the pastel colours emerging in the S/S 2012 looks. A great amount of work has gone into the jewellery and the quality is fantastic for the cost.

So, why not treat yourself or a friend to a January pick me up? The website has much more on offer so you're bound to find something that suits your tastes and budget.
