Brent Dakis’ latest collection for Depths of the Never Never is a stunning assortment  of pendants created from vintage finds.  ’The Lingering Shadow of Time Travellers’ collection features pieces made from bygone treasures including  pocket watch casings, brass stampings, hat pins, watch-part storage vials and black & white photographs. One of the standout pieces from the collection is The Prophet, a collage of re-cycled sterling silver, 9ct gold, copper and brass set in a sterling silver pocket watch casing. For those with a vintage aesthetic and a love of time-worn beauty this latest collection will no doubt get pulses racing . . .

In the meantime feast your eyes on a gorgeous piece by emerging Tasmanian jewellery designer Anna M Williams. The Misty Highlands Brooch - a little piece of the Tasmanian wilderness right there on your lapel . . .

Here’s a peek at  Simone Pfister’s work bench . . . as you can see Simone has created some stunning pieces as part of  her  sterling silver, doily collection. I’m  totally  in love with the doily rings!

Melbourne fans of Simone Pfister & Amanda Sheen are now very much in luck . .  a selection of Simone and Amanda’s jewellery  is now available at the ultra-delightful retail emporium, Sedonia. Pop in and say hi to Inge and Nicola and peruse  their beautifully designed, hand-picked wares. Sedonia is located at 41 Gamon St, Seddon.

My love of the derelict, poetic and god-damn beautiful has led me to discover the stunning images of Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre. Detroit is firmly planted on my go-to list now . . .

My explorations into the blogosphere have recently led me to The Sartorialist. Check out Scott Schuman’s  photos of fabulously stylish and spunky people.
