A Specimen Box

I know I should be revising instead of posting here, but I saw a post over on Kennedy’s blog about her jewellery collection and I couldn’t resist posting something similar. I keep most of my jewellery in an old wooden box, which has two drawers that are divided into lots of different compartments. Perfect for storing small pendants.

Okay, back to revision!

  1. you have collected some nice pieces! i like the idea with the box..i might look out for one like that..is it one of those for people to keep their kinder suprise egg figures in?

  2. That first photo made me gasp. What a genius idea! I need to borrow that idea. And also the idea of showcasing your jewelry – all my jewelry is my grandmothers' – so pretty!

  3. These are incredibly beautiful!! You have the ideal jewelery collection. The way you organize it is so cute too! I'd pick a favorite but I think they're all my favorite.

  4. Oh shucks, everything is so dreamy! That picture of all of your pendants in the box is drool worthy! You have the loveliest things! xx

  5. Wow, what a gorgeous collection of trinkets. Your 'jewellery box' is lovely too. You always find the nicest things!

  6. Your specimen box is so beautiful and just perfect for all those treasures. Excellent curating, Hannah!

  7. what a collection! beautiful. i hope you get them out and admire them often, and better yet *wear* them! i love the one made from a souvenir bracelet from Paris!

  8. The Glow Worm! Oh my gosh, too amazing. Also: the watch without a face and the Opulent Oddities necklace – I just *love* her stuff – she has the best eye. PS: I love your storage technique. I really want to get an old flat file for my jewelry, but first I need a bigger apartment. :)

  9. God you have an extrodinary collection! Its all so beautiful! I reckon i need that box to i have an awfully big collection too!

  10. You have SUCH wonderful jewelry! I added the sellers you mentioned as favorites on etsy :)
    When I looked at 'Oh my gipsy soul's' store I became so excited because she lives in the exact same town that I lived in for a year when I was an exchange student in the US and when I clicked on her profile I really had to laugh because I know the seller – she used to own the bead store and then a gallery in town…I used to buy all my beads for making jewelry at her store, haha.

  11. Wow, you always have the most beautiful little treasures displayed in the lovliest of ways… the specimen box is so perfect and I am in love with the invisible watch!

  12. Your jewelry collection is amazing! I can't believe I still all of mine in a silly Kaboodle box from the fifth grade!!

    I'm so glad you took a break from revising to post these pretty pretty gems.

  13. I am in awe and envy of your collection. Wow. Makes me want to hit up some antique malls and thrift shops — but I don't know if I could find anything so cool.

  14. ah this is such a good idea, i might try this at some point if i have the time. the jewellery box looks ideal, i have so so much jewellery scattered around my room.. on the floor, hanging on a little jewellery tree, and in various places where, inevitably, it gets lost.

    my front door has a knocker exactly like that lion pendant you have, so cute!

  15. As much as i hate copying, i must copy this little box idea, that is truley wonderful!! How organised!!! Awesome photos!! I'm so in love with your blog :) xx

  16. i love the way you love your things, all your jewellery were beautyful! and i really like that you have diffrent picture bakgrounds for every jewellery, makes every one of them special.
