Neck and Neck

Last December I went shopping for a farewell present for my cousin Amelia-Jane, with whom I worked at the theatre. Eventually I decided to buy her a piece of fun costume jewellery – we both have a fondness for humorous and bold pieces.

I ventured into the city and made a beeline for the jewellery store Lovisa. Immediately a necklace of golden galloping horses caught my delighted eye. How delicious! How priceless! Amelia-Jane would surely appreciate its whimsy. But there was only one hitch: I wanted it for myself. Perhaps I could find her something else?

And then I spotted another, equally enchanting gold chain necklace with a zebra head pendant suspending from it. The zebra was cast in gold and enamelled in white and black – with eyelashes, no less! Perfect. An equine-themed necklace for each of us. It was a win/win. 

Picture note: the zebra necklace appears on a Google image search, but does not link back to an active page on the Lovisa website.
