I do love shopping in little boutiques and finding quirky and unique clothing or jewellery. I hate how everyone seems to be wearing what everyone else is wearing to a point where you can’t distinguish one from the other.

Unfortunately, where I’m living at the moment, it’s saturated with huge high street brands in massive shopping centres. Therefore, I’m always on a quest to find independent jewellers or small businesses who make one-of-a-kind pieces…which brings me to my next big find…Christine Walsh Jewellery.

Her pieces are exquisite! I could not decide on which ones were my favourite as I browsing through her collection. A married mother of four, Christine gains her inspiration for her jewellery from everything like nature, art, textiles and fashion.

I had the wonderful opportunity of actually e-mailing Christine to speak about her collection…Christine started Christine Walsh Jewellery 3 years ago when she started getting great feedback from friends about them. Beginning with jewellery parties in her neigbourhood, she progressed to selling her collection on several online shops before landing onto Etsy.

Using gemstones which she sources from around the world, she makes timeless pieces of earrings, bracelets and necklaces for her label. My eyes were especially drawn to her emerald green pieces as they were so simple yet quite a statement because the colour is so captivating! I especially do love how she plays with colour combinations in some of her pieces.

You can clearly see the amont of passion and individuality that go into her pieces with the material she uses and the craftmanship that goes into each and every piece. There are no more than 5 pieces per design and the price ranges from US$35 to US$135. She’s also open to the idea of making custom pieces should you have an idea or design in your head which you want to see be turned into reality; making it even more unique!

At the moment, her pieces are available online on Etsy.com. Simply search for christinewalsh under “Seller:Usernames” in the search bar. Check it out for yourselves!
