New jewellery!

[toscas_kiss]

I haven't bought myself new jewellery for ages (I have this bad habit of thinking 'nice, but I could make it myself' and then of course I never do), but this was just too cool to pass up. At first glance it's hard to spot it's a beetle in resin. I'm not sure what species it is but the body gleams like green-gold dichroic glass in the sunlight. Really pretty. And the silver is very nicely worked too. Mine, all mine.

Yep! Got it at Camden Markets. There's a stall in the small outdoor courtyard in the inner market. Having said that, they tend to change every week cos the stall allotment is done by lottery, but I can tell you it was a South American lady who sold silver jewellery. It only cost £13 which I thought was astoundingly cheap. They had other things like bees, some moths and I think a very small scorpian, but I wanted the shiny. :-)
