Willow jewellery- Spotlight on Independent creatives

Hey Cats,

Over on YouTube today I did an unboxing  of some lovely items from a new independent brand. Today the spotlight is on Willow a beautiful handmade jewellery maker. Watch me unbox the items here.



Willow is a very small independent brand ran by the lovely Natasha. Inspired by her family before her she wanted to create a business and named the brand after the home her grandmother grew up in. While at university Natasha learnt about ancient magic and wanted to encompass that in a jewellery range. Inspired by the moon goddess Hekate the dark collections range was created. I was lucky enough to be sent 3 items from the range. 


All this beautiful jewellery is hand made by Natasha herself using black polmer clay adding touches of glamour with sprinkles of gold detailing. The most interesting thing about handmade goodies like these is each item will be slightly different giving it that special feeling, You can customise pieces too choosing to have a matte black, shimmer glaze or gold leafing to any of the designs available, 


My favourite of the pieces is this crescent moon necklace, Mine is a matt black with a lovely gold chain. I love the simplicity of this piece and how pretty the gold looks with the black. This comes in small or large and this small version is named Circle, Named after Circle from Greek mythology a goddess of magic who knew how to use herbs and potions and a wand to turn her enemies into animals. 


These beautiful triangle drop earrings arrived with gold tips making them really pretty to look at. This piece is inspired by Angele De Le Barthe a noblewoman who was said to have birthed the son of the devil, The tale goes that he was half man and half wolf snake feeding on babies. I imagine a noblewoman such as Angele would have loved the gold tips on these earrings,

The last piece was a beautiful gold shimmer triangle brooch. Bridget Bishop was the first woman in Salem back in 1692 to be executed as part of the witch trials, All these pieces are beautifully made and hold their own magic within them, Knowing they were inspired by goddess', mythical stories and true witches makes them all that much more special, You can even join the coven to get some discounts and special deals on the available range, I know I will be getting some more from this talented lady,

Please do go check out the rest of the range over on the website and let me know which your favourite piece was...
