Someday you will be loved.

Some of us may not have a Valentine buying us jewellery this year, but since the New Year I've felt a bit of a craving to add something to my collection, so I'm tempted to do the job myself. Most of the silver jewellery I have (i.e. not costume) I wear all the time, including some sterling silver rings my mum wore when she was a teenager, but also my Troll Beads bracelet which I've posted about before. I  have been browsing the Troll Beads website trying to figure out which bead to buy next.  (Actually, the ultimate must-have on my wishlist is the Daisy ring but unfortunately it's not ideal for my student budget, so a bead it is...)

I really like the Pink Silver Trace bead - the colours are gorgeous, and with Troll no two look the same as they are all hand finished. That's what I love about my bracelet so much - it's truly unique.

I'm also hugely tempted by the Leo bead, as I am a typical example of a Leo and it's a bead I do really want on my bracelet one day, whether that's sooner or later..

I like each bead I buy or am bought to have a meaning, and I want this one to be symbolic of something I bought at the start of 2013, creating a fresh start for this year. And maybe it can also symbolise the fact that I am an independent girl who can buy herself jewellery, too - that's a good reason, right?!
