I have a few Aussie jewellery bits and bobs to go up but I had to flag up Gala Curios. A bow is not some trifling fancy. A whispy bit of ribbondry wafting around. At least, that's the view of the bow that Jasmin of Gala Curious takes. I'm becoming ever more predictable with my tastets owed to the racked up four years of blogging… a PR pointed out that I would love Jasmine's stuff and how right he was. Sometimes I find it a little embarrassing how transparent my tastes have become.
You may know Jasmine Noir as the girl who made the fantastic cut-out lace jewellery for Marnie Skillings last year. She has since changed her name to Gala Curios because of a certain Bvlgari fragrance and has launched her debut collection of lacquered bows that curl around in rock-hard rigidity on rings, necklaces and yes, a head bow. A session of ring-trying ensued at the showroom. I believe that her current collection delved into metallics; copper, rose-gold, gold, silver…
… and then in her continuing collection, she introduces more colour so that pastel and metallic coloured lacquers cover the bows…
I also love her use of porcelain to emulate rope knots and twists…
She has also given lace hard edge by dipping them in metallic and pastel lacquer and I especially love how the frill of lace has been frozen into position in the necklaces.
omgsh these are so cute! I love the white and green bow rings
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! Hope she decides to franchise, and sell her goodies in Scandinavia
For shame, being australian and not knowing

Beautiful pieces, I love the copper bow ring and the lace frill!

Bows are always in fashion, I love the ring. Ring’s can make a statement in a really subtle manner.

This is a fantastically DIY inspirational… though I couldn’t recreate those porcelain knots for anything in this world and they’re what I’m most attracted to!

Soft concept with hard implementation, it’s great when what you see is not what you get. It’s better!

I love it all! Also Susie, remember that while there are things that are very “you” out there, your tastes are absolutely unique and wonderful. Think of all the people who have REALLY predictable tastes (I dunno, icky satin prom dress lovers) and you’ll find that its really only in this highly specialized field of the upper echelons and smaller nooks of fashion that your tastes are anything but super super special (they still are, just more identifiable).
it looks so cute…you really inspire me 🙂 thank you

LBB ( Le Black Book )will be stocking Gala Curios from summer – L.o.v.e
Thank you for managing to turn the bow into a faminine thing. You could do anything with a bow. I use the old ones to gift wrap things, it is pretty effective.
I don’t think I can top ANY of those comments. LOVE the bowa.
