Since I became a mother, I put away my lovely engagement ring, as well as other jewellery my hubby and my mom gave me.

Aside from the obvious, primarily, diverting funds previously spent on frivolous adornments on myself to frivolous adornments for baby, as well as for his college fund, I want to teach my son that material things are not important, but social ties are. Still, I enjoy wearing things that mean something to me and these usually find me unexpectedly.

Hence I love scouring the web for great finds. I found some lovely cloth dolls from Etsy and some lovely Silver Jewellery from Keysilver, a cool online jewellery store from the UK.

The latter is a pretty - the green is very soothing - simply laid out shop, which places its offering clearly on its landing page. It is reminiscent of those sweet push carts you see at the market run by adventurous and enthused 20-somethings with a love for silver jewellery. Very honest with its offerings and personal service.

Shipping information, something I look for first when I visit an online store, is placed very visibly on its left navigation bar. They do ship internationally although it isn't mentioned on their website. A design note: the text looks great everywhere else on the site except this page, where there should be paragraph breaks.

My goddaughter Joyce and I have had a love affair with silver jewellery since our school days. Silver is pretty, inexpensive, and signifies a simplicity from the harder and harsher gold, which older people tend to wear. (Even my gold jewellery is white gold.) She loves Silver Bracelets and I love Silver Pendants.

Even today (I won't say how many years!), she wears the same, and after motherhood, I bought a silver cat pendant and bunny pendant from the Animal Rescue Store to wear on occasion, so Jack grows up seeing Mom wear meaningful things, not expensive things.

Being a fan of silver jewellery, I must say Keysilver's designs are very unique, especially this lovely Amber bracelet my sister will adore. Joyce would love this sweet bangle. Definitely a site to bookmark. Pop by for a visit. I am sure you'll find something you will like. :)
