Design Porn: Anne Morgan
Nautical themed pieces are usually all navy and stripes, but Anne Morgan's Coast range takes the idea of ropes and knots and turns them into wearable pieces. I still want to wear an eyepatch and talk like a pirate, but there's definitely a class to Anne's jewellery. I love this knot necklace. It's just £55.
This matching knot bracelet is so cute. Inspired be the Welsh coast (Anne lives by the coast in Penarth), the range is made from cotton and linen rope.
I love how simple the designs are. The knots keep the jewellery looking bold but they're still totally wearable. You can buy Anne's pieces directly from her online shop.

Ummm.... £55?! I LOVE almost all of your stuff (and nauticalia gets me everytime), but this just doesn't do it for me.
ReplyDeleteReally, really, REALLY fuggly O.o
ReplyDeleteAnon comments being rude about independent designers are totally my favourite.
ReplyDeletePretty! I especially love the second necklace, it's lovely.
ReplyDeleteThat huge rope necklace is fabulous, real statement piece.
ReplyDeleteI think it is disturbing to see someone with what looks like a noose around her neck
ReplyDeleteThe small necklace is pretty, but I'm not a fan of the big one, unless it was with an all-out, 'statement', full-on nautical catwalk-type outfit.
ReplyDeleteReally love the bracelet, and the smaller knot necklace in the third picture - thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI don't think we've ever written about jewellery that's divided so many people! And let's not forget, I also showed you this:

I think they're much more disturbing than a bit of rope. Love how divisive bold jewellery can be.
Think they're gorgeous - tho not something I would wear myself .... Just wouldn't suit me.
ReplyDeleteThis is a figure of eight knot a noose would look very different. http://www.bankruptcylitigationblog.com/250px-Knot-hangmans-noose(1).jpg.
ReplyDeleteTheres always going to be a statement piece in a range and often there are more wearable ones. The clasp is hand made so not mass produced overseas. Raw materials add up! Magnets in the bracelet and some of the necklaces make wearing easier.
But hey, if thats not your bag theres plenty of silver/gold jewellery still in production!
I think it's beautiful, Anne! Thanks so much for commenting.
