This Brother's Grimm-esque necklace is the result of the latest Tatty Devine collaboration with artist Verena Paloma Jabs, and will be released on November 13. How lovely are the shiny black hand-strung beads? It’s not surprising that Verena is fascinated by the juxtaposition of dark fairytale narratives with idyllic imagery.
Verena's work combines modern technology such as laser-cut acrylic frames with more traditional techniques such as paper cuts and woodcutting. Catch her ‘Diamond Tears’ exhibition at the Tatty Devine Brick Lane shop from 13 November. In the meantime, you might like to check out Verena’s portfolio here.
** News just in from Tatty Devine: their brand new Covent Garden store will be opening very shortly - maybe even this weekend! I'll keep you updated with the latest news.**

I had a day in London last week and spent time looking around Covent Garden. What a pity the Tatty Devine shop was not open then. I have bought several items from them and love their jewellery as it is different to the jewellery I make.
