HaoShi A Beautiful Carousel

Every year I promise myself that I will make this a jewellery year. I rarely buy jewellery as I am remarkably adept at losing items especially rings. I also am very bad at remembering to put it on, so the jewellery that works best for me is the stuff that stays on through thick and thin until it falls off. However, I am very pleased to find Haoshi Design’s beautiful white jewellery on Bouf, as Taiwan is an ever-such a long way to go for a necklace. I’ve thought of them often since seeing them at Tent in the summer and love them as much as I did the moment I saw them. Animals and merry-go-rounds make up the subjects of their designs and superbly so too. I’m not a fan of a cutsie animal, I like them too much in their natural state and there is definitely an all too thin line between twee and just plain wrong. These all hit the nail on the head perfectly. The Merry-Go-Round set make an nice, softer alternative to the animals even if they are mostly horses! The simplicity of the mono-white is ideal to counter-balance the realistic intricacy of the details and they are just so nicely executed.

Duck X necklace, £45, Wolf X, £45, Merry-go-round man brooch, £38 and Merry-Go-Round X (Twinning), £60, all available from Bouf.com
