Let's Not Start a Cat Fight.

While shopping for a birthday present for a very stylish friend I came across the jewellery by Cat Hammill. I instantly fell in love!

Inspired by her travels through Asia, Paris and South America Cat Hammill has created a range of necklaces and bracelets full of plaited and knotted leather, hand dyed wooden and silver plated beads and my favourite part, the quirky charms designed by Cat. From the silver wishing bone to the out of shape peace sign and the funky hearts.

Each piece has a message; peace, love and luck are just a few. The range is designed so you can personalise, whether you want to stack the bracelets all the way up your arm or you are after a more classic long silver necklace that will go with everything, there is a piece for everyone, young and old.

The 3 year old in me came out, while watching my very stylish friend unwrap her very carefully chosen (and I mean very carefully chosen, it took me almost an hour to decide which necklace I liked the best because I love them all) present. I almost had to call in help to physically restrain myself from snatching it back out of her hands and keeping for myself. I decided to avoid the cat fight (i'm not excusing the pun) and be mature (and boring) and wait till pay day to treat myself to one of Cat Hammill's amazing creations.
