Beautiful vintage style jewelry from "Wendy J" - NZ designer

Hello all:

me and Louie are in papers today! And i have to say, we both look very cute! :-) I will try to scan the article and post it here ...

In the meantime, I was just looking at Tatty Devine jewerly again, and wondered whether we have anyone doing similar stuff in NZ. I actually own a gorgeous piece from Wendy J, jewelry designer from Welsford. It is a laser cut and printed pendant of a girl feeding swans. Picture on top. I wear it all the time and get so many comments on it! I have found this designer on TradeMe. I can say with confidence that her pieces are not sloppy DIY, oh no! They are perfectly finished and gorgeous. I bought the necklace last year, but have just logged in to see whether she had any other pieces for sale and she does! I have to say, pieces are gorgeous, just check out the "Keep Calm and Carry on" pendant below!!! SO COOL. This slogan was commissioned in 1939 by the British Ministry of Information to send a message of reassurance to the people from King George VI ( hence the crown ), that everything was being done in the time of war, and " Keep Calm". They were printed on posters and tea towles. A message just as relevant today!The pendants are made from black and white laser cut Perspex combined in a layering technique to give the framed look.The images are laser engraved " into" the white perspex and filled with black metallic pigment, so that they can not be "rubbed off"!It measures 4.75 cm in length and 3.2 cm across and will come on a 62 cm long chain with thick silver plating made to last ! Wendy can shorten this if you prefer a shorter chain She also has these as brooches , so check out my other listings. All her pieces come in organza bags for safe keeping when not being worn (this makes them perfect gifts).
























And the best part, prices are so good, honestly, I think that she should be charging 5 times more, for the quality is superb, and craftmanship flawless.
Do check out her stuff for sale on Trademe here: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Members/Listings.aspx?member=1337997
