    Snake/Reptile inspired jewelry..
    Everyone that knows me well, knows that I'm not much into jewelry (or fashion purses, watches, etc) I'm usually outdoors either doing chores or being..well outdoors ;) I would always have to take fine jewelry off and that gets old. Besides I find most of it boring and generic.

    For me to like jewelry it has to be un-usual, unique and different. A old antique piece with a story, a handmade unique item or...snake inspired :)

    My friends just came back from their European cruise and brought me this back...they know me well ;) I LOVE it. I also have some great snake earrings, but I can't wear those very often. This pendant though (made out of glass, from Venice) I can definitely wear. Its not "fine" jewelry, but its sooo cool :)

    Does anyone else have snake or reptile inspired jewelry? I'm going to post a picture of the earrings in a little bit, have to find them, lol..

    Here are the earrings. They were hand made in Malaysia, I love their detail..

    There is also a Ring I love. But its made from chocolate diamonds (the only one's I like, I find clear diamonds boring, lol) by Le Vian. They make gorgeous snake/reptile jewelry, but a bit out of the affordable range ;)

    Hah!!!

    Then you should see me after a hot summers day working at the barn and with the horse.

    Grooming a horse is the process of transferring dirt from the horse to the owner, LOL. And then there is hay to move, paddocks to clean, etc. But I love it.

    I also love fishing, but for the life of me, it doesn't love me back, I never catch anything. The one time I did, and got all excited, I reeled that fish in and RIGHT at the water edge it got loose and took off..sigh. While I can cook quite well and I'm a excellent (ocd) home maker, I much prefer doing work outdoors or reno projects, etc.

    I've always been somewhat of a tomboy ;) I like to think I inherited some of that from my Dad who was a great man. He was a workaholic, couldn't sit still and he could fix/build everything. He was my hero. When we built our house in Germany I used to be right there beside him, at 11 years old, LOL, doing as much as I could.

    Even this nice fishing Kayak and good gear doesn't help me any, its hopeless !!! And I googled bait, hooks, this and that. Hopeless, I say...

    Isn't it gorgeous ? Le Vian makes such unique stuff. Lots of it with chocolate or colored diamonds on rose gold..so "different" and stunning. And there is a lot of reptile themed stuff.
    But yeah, big $$ and I could hardly ever wear it. But perhaps one day I'll buy something from them just because. I can admire "my precious" at home, haha.

    There is actually quite a lot of reptile / snake jewelry around. With so many people "disliking" our beloved animals, there are sure many buying that stuff..

    Isn't that the truth !!!

    I'm normally more into practical gifts, stuff for the house, vehicles, more animals or stuff for the animals, but I don't think I would say no to beautiful chocolate diamond piece :)

    They've not arrived yet, but I've ordered a couple of necklaces from this Etsy store that have the skin from Smaug's first shed incorporated into them. :) One with the model snake for casual days, one plain silver one I can wear to work. I'll post a photo when I have them.

    Its very plain, but I have small hands, and the more intricate ones are usually quite big.

    Sounds perfect for her then !
    If you google snake rings and then click on images, its one of the first ones to pop up.

    I would link you to it, but linking to a sales site is a no no. But its really easy to find :)

    Well it's silver plated and looks real nice for a couple of months then it suddenly tarnishes and has to be replaced with a new one - not too bad at 3 dollars each inc p&p off eBay ..
