I couldn’t have made them myself

These pretty little earrings were a recent birthday present from some friends. Their mission was to buy me some jewellery that I ‘couldn’t make myself’, so Scarlet ventured into Design a space.

This boutique is a great place to find gifts; full of fashionable frivolities that one might not often indulge in for oneself. Already I have worn these Moyou earrings several times – the pale beechwood is practically a neutral.

I love the filigree pattern that has been laser-cut, like lace made from wood. The designer was inspired by Oriental patterns; they remind me of the windows in the Blue Souq in Sharjah, designed in the Islamic tradition.

And at least I can buy myself a matching ring.
