I came across a very lavish display of Gem Kingdom pieces yesterday and the true uniqueness of the designs is best appreciated in person. They work with vintage findings – etched glass, watch and locket pieces, good luck charms and talismans and the like – and incorporate them into a variety of different kinds of sterling silver chains, whether for bracelets, pendants or necklaces. Earrings and rings feature the same elements.

This necklace with sterling and mother of pearl charms is probably more wearable on a daily basis than most of their work, but I am still pondering an array of chains and talismans and thinking how interesting that would look. This piece is available directly from the Netherlands-based designers and sells for 179.00 € excluding delivery.
