Wee finds: Teapot and teacup enamel jewellery

I first came across the wonderfully quirky work by London-based jewellery designer Buddug Humphreys at the market stall she shares with Jessie Chorley at Broadway Market. It’s difficult to resist the charms of her teapot and teacup enamel jewellery range, which were inspired by her grandmother’s tea set. They’re also available to purchase online from her website or from Lapin and Me.

I love Broadway Market and love this stall. The girls have now opened a shop in Columbia Road! I was very pleased to find some initial earrings.
