If you're after accessories that scream rather than whisper, Sugar & Vice might be for you. I bought their Feminist woodcut necklace earlier this year and, after deciding that my jewellery collection was just the place to declare my politics to the world, they were my first port of call when I wanted a Riots Not Diets acrylic necklace. An old Riot Grrrl slogan, it perfectly sums up my attitude to body acceptance and it had to be mine. But could I find a necklace anywhere online? Could I heckers like*. Luckily, Sarah at Sugar & Vice came to my rescue and, after a few email exchanges, made me this kick-ass custom necklace for the bargain sum of £14.
If declaring your feminist credentials isn't to your taste (although if not, why not?), I'm fairly sure that another one of Sugar & Vice's 190+ necklace designs will be. I'm already hankering after the brilliant Kapow! design: one for the birthday list, or the fab Hello Sailer laser cut wood banner necklace, which I love muchly too. If necklaces aren't your thing (can you tell that they are very much mine?!), then Sugar & Vice also make brooches, earrings, rings... all manner of loveliness with which to accessorise. All of their pieces are well made despite being priced so reasonably, and I can thoroughly recommend the experience of working with Sarah on custom pieces.
This is not a sponsored post, I just bloody love Sugar & Vice and wanted to spread the word!
* To use a colloquial, and much-underused, Yorkshire term,
Love them! I'm much more of an earrings person than a necklace person, and I am now coveting pretty much every pair they sell. Just as well I have a birthday coming up, think I might send out a few links this evening to people who have been asking what to buy me! Thanks for the recommendation.
ReplyDeleteThey have so much nice stuff, don't they? I always try with earrings but they've never been my thing.
DeleteI really love these - your riots not diets necklace is so cool!
ReplyDeleteI'm so in love with it. I'm guessing it would be a tad unprofessional to wear it to work (not really meant to be inciting my pupils to riot - at least not in my classroom, anyway) so will have to rock it on the weekends.
