to infinity and beyond...

Just when I am determined that I am not buying one more single necklace for the forseeable future, into The Kingdom pops an email from Becky over at Eclectic Eccentricity that leads me to a whole world of temptation.

A lovely little site where every little piece has a story to tell (and you know what a sucker I am for a story.)

Bad Becky! Bad bad Becky.

EE was established in 2004 and created by Lucy Crick an astro physicist turned jewellery designer so there are lots of cute intellectual references and motifs alongside the pretty pieces, interesting designs and just plain cute things

It's run by Lucy and a small team of crafty, thoughtful types who like to contemplate the meaning of life whilst conjuring jewellery-based magic. Or, on less caffeinated mornings, who’s having what for elevenses...

There are lots of collections but the Cosmos one has me totally captivated. Quite simply , I want every single thing.

But if I had to pick my favourites, then here they are.
