This Is A Hoax

 

You know how much I love aged and worn jewellery. Pieces that look like they have many stories attached to them. In lieu of having any actual history, the makers of these pieces bring the story instead.

Last week I asked Instagram to recommend any jewellery brands I should know about and there were many fabulous brands but one really stuck out - Taxil Hoax, a US label.

Taxil Hoax is inspired by magic, nature and the darker aspects of history and the esoteric. This brand has absolutely everything I love in jewellery. The textures, the esoterism and the feeling of antiquity. I’ve linked my favourite picks in case you’re Stateside and can partake of this glorious brand.

 
 
I have always loved making art, as well as collecting antiques and old trinkets. My favorites are the ones that feel ancient and imperfect. I began making jewelry when I realized that I had a lot of antiques that I wished I could wear. I began taking antique and vintage jewelry apart and put them back together to fit my style. Through time, my love for jewelry making has grown and I continue to learn new ways to create. When not working in my little cabin in the woods, I spend my time frolicking in the forest, rehabilitating the wild beasts, traveling to magical places, hiding in history books, and playing with my beautiful son, Odin
