Thanks to the fabulousness of Instagram, a few months ago I
discovered this line of jewellery. I already knew the name as I had seen it in
many magazines, but lately Sydney born Samantha Wills has really taken off, and
a hashtag search of her name on Insta instantly bombards the searcher with many
gorgeous pictures of her gorgeous bracelets, bangles and my favourite, her
rings.
The most popular is undoubtedly the Bohemian Bardot ring,
and I instantly fell in love with it. There are so many beautiful colours it
comes in, so, because I am a bit wary and challenged with technology, therefore
don’t buy a lot of things online, I went searching in stores for these rings
because I decided I had to have one.
Unfortunately I couldn’t find any in the colours I wanted,
so I finally bit the bullet a few weeks ago and ordered one from an online
boutique in Sydney. It arrived by the time I had moved back to Perth and I am
LOVING it sick right now. It was $70, which is probably a bit excessive when I
am not too well off in the first place, but I am also a firm believer in
spending your money on things and experiences that make you happy. No matter
how much it costs, if you are happy with it, it’s been money well spent (I guess
this is how I justify all the money I spend on travelling the globe!).
So I used this excuse again earlier this week when I was
browsing the actual Samantha Wills site late one night and ordered myself the
Wanderlust nameplate necklace and the Wanderlust bangle. The necklace is beautiful
but the bangle is STUNNING. It is inscribed with the French ‘Va explorer’ on
the outside and ‘I am Wanderlust – I long to touch every corner of the globe’
in English on the inside. Quite simply it is the most accurate description of
me I could probably ever find.
They both arrived within two days of my having ordered them,
and, like my Bardot ring, came in a soft little drawstring bag to keep these beautiful
treasures safe and then placed in a lovely carved wooden box.
Money well spent I think!
If you haven’t heard of Samantha Wills before today, go and
check out her site at samanthawills.com and salivate over all the gorgeous
pieces like I did. And maybe treat yourself to one too!

Instagram!
