Thanks so much to Claire and Greg of Meadowlark jewelry for getting us involved in the limited edition blogger collection. Zana of Garbage Dress, Queen Michelle of Kingdom of Style and Jen of Gnarlitude were other bloggers included in the line up, all of which did a smashing job! It was thrilling to see our design come to life – especially considering jewelry making has completely different limitations and requirements to what we’re used to! The ring was exactly how we imagined it many months ago when we came up with the design, we thought about different placements for hand adornment, moving the anchor in a way that was still wearable/comfortable.
Meadowlark are uncompromising in quality and craftsmanship, so working with them was a breeze and the result is spectacular. It truly blew us away! There are 50 available, and we’d be honored if you bought one! It’s certainly not a throw away piece!
“Those who do not want to imitate anything, produce nothing” – Salvador Dali
To be honest, this was not exactly our inspiration at all, but rather a fitting contextualization. The fashion industry may have you believe that the design process follows a strict series of steps from concept development and research, through to the final product.
It is not always like that, a lot of design comes from the heart and is intuitive, rather than researched for inspiration. Personally we find much of the time it’s a lot easier to articulate the real source of the design once it’s down on paper and you can decipher the references.
The visual connection between Dali’s quote, surrealism, art imitating life, and our design is pretty obvious – so probably no need to explain it any further! The inspiration for the piece was nothing in particular, but as always with design – absolutely everything.
We were clearly pretty excited and went a bit overboard with photos! Hope you enjoy!

I love how creative you got with the photos! (Now I’m craving glitter hands, and envisioning the glitter trail it would leave every time you touched something..). To be honest, the photographs and the ring design are what I would expect from you both — creative and beautiful! Keep up the great work!
