Wolf & Moon

I first mentioned Wolf & Moon in my in my Christmas Wishlist. Those earrings (infact all the jewellery) are still firmly on my wishlist but, browsing the website one evening, I couldn't resist making a little order.

I am a total magpie, so couldn't say no to the glitter hex studs and the glitter shard studs. The hex studs are really cute and wearable - they'd go with lots of things. I chose the pink glitter shard studs, which are a little unusual and 'out there' compared to the other studs in my collection. But I really love them, and look how sparkly!!

Wolf & Moon have quickly become one of my favourite handmade jewellery stores. Beautifully handcrafted jewellery, and the service was great too. My earrings arrived well packaged, with a care note on how to take care of the jewellery so that it lasts a long time. I'd definitely recommend popping over to the website if you're after some fun and quirky jewellery.

DIY Gold Dipped Druzy Ring

You will need:
A druzy cabochon - Lots can be found on Etsy
A ring blank - Etsy
Liquid Leaf metallic paint - ebay
A thin paintbrush
Strong glue

Cover your surface! The liquid leaf stains, so it's best to put some paper down before you start.

Start by painting the black of the druzy cab with the liquid leaf. Leave to dry for about an hour.

Flip the cab over and carefully paint around the sides, and slightly around the top of the stone as well. Leave to dry for another hour.

Use the glue to secure the druzy onto your ring blank.

I absolutely love liquid leaf, and there are so many things you could use it for. I decided to make a dipped quartz necklace, too!
