Is it as beautiful in RL as it looks on the website? Really love a particular necklace but don't want to drive all the way to a stockist to see it, shall I risk it and just buy online?

They are exquisitely detailed.

I have the gold bee, silver "Mr & Mrs Bird" on a hoop and for Christmas I got a one-off Trunk Show piece

bigkidsdidit · 18/01/2013 15:05

yes, it is wonderful in rl

I'm hoping to get another piece this year. I follow him on facebook, he puts new pieces up all the time and they are all lovely :)

MissBeehivingUnderTheMistletoe · 18/01/2013 16:16

Yes - it is lovely - I have the baby bee and the shrimp and both are beautifully detailed.

MaureenShit · 18/01/2013 16:18

Don't call them pieces you NOBBERS

AmberNectarine · 18/01/2013 16:28

I've got a shrimp, though it is missing at the moment - I think it's lovely, though it was smaller than I has expected!

tomverlaine · 18/01/2013 16:30

yes- i love my bee it is very tactile

ChickensHaveNoEyebrows · 18/01/2013 16:31

I love the silver, think the gold plated stuff looks like £5 tat from Topshop. I actually returned a plated necklace because the plating wasn't even and it looked so cheap.

MissBeehivingUnderTheMistletoe · 18/01/2013 16:33

It is smaller than I expected too Amber - have you seen the Goring shrimp he does IRL?

Shouldn't that be KNOBBER Maureen? Wink

noddyholder · 18/01/2013 16:33

They are very 'copied' though. Lots of fakes around.

notasgreenasiamcabbagelooking · 18/01/2013 16:50

I agree about the gold plated stuff. I have the posy heart but the plating is very thin and you really have to look after it. I still love it though.

MaureenShit · 18/01/2013 16:53

Oh I love the gold. Silver very mum cliche

MaureenShit · 18/01/2013 16:53

Btw. Dragonfly shit with knitwear

noddyholder · 18/01/2013 16:56

I prefer gold too. Kirstin ash jewellery lovely for summer too.

MissBeehivingUnderTheMistletoe · 18/01/2013 16:57

I much prefer the gold.

noddyholder · 18/01/2013 16:59

I gotthis for xmas in gold bargain and washed in machine plus dryer by mistake and it still looks the same! All those bees and birds etc are in primark opia

MaureenShit · 18/01/2013 17:00

I love

redmayneslips · 18/01/2013 17:01

I love the gold too and have the bird in a hoop with ruby eyes and it is much admired whenever I wear it. it was smaller and the chain much finer than i had expected, but i still love it. Don't like the silver - looks cheaper by far

noddyholder · 18/01/2013 17:01

I'll send you friends shop can get for 5

MissBeehivingUnderTheMistletoe · 18/01/2013 17:03

Dammit Noddy I always like the things you post

MacaroniAndWalnut · 18/01/2013 17:04

I've got the bee, not the normal one the one that looks like its flying towards you I love it but it catches and snags on every bloody thing

It's ruined numerous tops

noddyholder · 18/01/2013 17:04

My dp got me stocking with it in! Everyone likes it I have worn every day Looks a lot more than a tenner

Procrastinating · 18/01/2013 17:04

I have an owl and I wasn't impressed at all. It is tiny and the silver was discoloured when I got it. It looks much cheaper than it was.

MaureenShit · 18/01/2013 17:05

Shit !!! Just bought !!

noddyholder · 18/01/2013 17:06

Never mind! Well worth every penny.

knitknack · 18/01/2013 17:12

I love the gold! DH got me the hummingbird for Christmas :)
