I am MAJORLY crushing on Anita Quansah’s necklaces! I did a piece on her work here.

It is the clever mix of tribal/ethnic influences, feminine , embellished and the eclectic details of her bespoke handmade jewellery designs that has me crushing hard.

I like that she re-uses vintage elements in her designs with new materials to unique effect.

The fact that each piece is a one off? All the more alluring.

There is a lot of body jewellery out there but the piece in image three is incredible! My mind is going crazy just thinking of the gazillion ways I would wear it.

Which design catches your eye?

See more of Anita’s designs on her Flickr and at her website.

    oops…number 3 is the one I meant – thought that was no. 1 – number three reminds
    me of something bondage-y yet sublime.
