August Polish Pickup Jewelry Collab, MTK Design Merry + Forty Winks

PRESS SAMPLES, bottom right photo by MTK Design

For August's Polish Pickup them At the Carnival MTK Design and Forty Winks Jewelry both chose carousels as inspiration and have loosely collaborated to offer a coordinating set available separately within PPu. Mary kindly sent me her gorgeous necklace to review and well, Forty Winks is me 😉. We knew each other's general color schemes because of  our inspiration photos and agreed on bronze settings but otherwise each piece was created independently and I CANNOT get over how well they go together. I am thrilled that Mary agreed to collab with me! These will be available August 2-5th and are both limited quantities. Read on for details on each.

MERRY Necklace by MTK Design

Mary has created this beautiful necklace with a thermal design. The chain itself is 24 inches with a 2 inch extender. The bead on the extender is the perfect touch and I love that it looks beautiful from the back as well. I'm wearing it without using the extender, so at 24 inches. The thermal change is very reactive.

 Inspiration: Nostalgic Horse Carousel photo – capturing this innocent childhood fun – of pure happiness. It’s a place with no cares, no worries; nothing but time. Time for one more ride, to still see the world as sparkling and bright. 

Description: Care to play a little carousel roulette? – when the thermal polish (Blackhole Sun) warms one of 6 carousel horse are revealed in all its red/copper/gold sparkling glory. (That right, you will receive a random carousel horse. Even I won’t know which is which when they’re done!) The 1 inch glass cabochon is set in antique brass finished bezel and chain w/ a 2 inch extender accented by a single fire opal teardrop resin bead; playing off all those warm sparkles.

Cap: 25, $12.50 each

BARBARA'S CAROUSEL

 earrings by Forty Winks Jewelry

Bronze and neutral lovers, these are for you! $10.50 each.

Inspiration: Call The Midwife, Barbara tells Tom a sentimental story from her childhood in which she begged her father for a ride on a carousel, to which he replied “just one ride”. On their wedding day Tom surprises her with a carousel for everyone to enjoy, but not before they take a private ride. Love is worth it, if just for one short ride.

Description: Bronze toned copper stud earrings, 12mm cabochon. Lead and nickel free. Hand painted in a beautiful neutral pallet of 5 indie polishes: unicorn pee, shimmer, multichrome,iridescent flakies. No two will be completely alike. Comes with silicone backs.

Mary of MTK Design and I both chose carousel photos and collaborated to offer you a beautiful coordinating set! The necklace in the photos is hers and available during this sale as well, stamped with a thermal polish. The horse you get will be random, carousel roulette! .
