nea.

if you've come around these parts before, you know that i have a bit of a predilection for baubles that you wouldn't necessarily find in all the big shops. i have a penchant for pieces that are clever, ironic in some ways, and whimsical in many others. i suppose that jewellery can make the outfit - should you feel it be lacking some personality, or should you be feeling a bit shy. saying something with an accessory is a quieter approach to showing off your inborn style.

a fellow canadian, janick from montreal and her jewellery line :nea: and her boutique found at etsy.com is full of unique and slighty off-the-radar designs, which are quite lovely.

each piece is made by hand from unusual mediums and loaded with creativity.

i especially like this long "buttoned" necklace, with a mixture of metals, 2" button and beige, round beads. it just leans a wee bit left of centre, which is the direction i normally face...
