Calamity Jayne Designs

Today, I received my third purchase from the wonderful Jayne! She's a London girl who makes jewellery and sells it on her Etsy store - she mostly specialises in cameo necklaces, but also makes rings, earrings, phone cases, bracelets and other, non-cameo necklaces. I first bought from her when I found a beautiful Edgar Allan Poe cameo on her store; after checking the feedback and finding a 99% positive rate, I decided to buy from her. I received the necklace mere days later:


It's absolutely beautiful, no? To make this successful gamble even better, her cameo necklaces are only £4.99 each! For such a low price, the items are such wonderful quality and look fantastic with my admittedly dark style. I ordered again from her in March, this time after spying a Vincent Price necklace in her store. Once again, Jayne herself was friendly and approachable, and was incredibly quick with delivering the item, which again turned up within days:


Now, when this beauty came through the post, I decided that I was going to be loyal to this store! Again the quality was great, and this time I had a different coloured chain from Edgar's antique one.

This time, I decided to put Jayne's custom designs to the test; she mentions on her store that she is willing to make custom jewellery for people who tell her what they'd like. I messaged her asking if she could make me a necklace featuring Bela Lugosi as Dracula. She responded very quickly and was enthusiastic about the idea (turns out she's a Dracula fan too!); the necklace itself was made within two days. I was impressed! She also sent me a photo of the finished product to make sure I liked it, and hell yes I did! The listing was put up and I bought it straight away. Today, it arrived:


It's absolutely top notch. I was so excited when I came downstairs to find the little package waiting for me, and it was definitely worth it! So, not only are her pre-made designs cute as hell, she really comes through with her customs as well.

The best part is that she doesn't just make necklaces featuring batshit insane writers and horror icons, no. The designs range from all kinds of interests, featuring things like Disney and Adventure Time, not to mention 'classic' style cameo designs, quotes and classic artwork. So you have a massive choice, even without the custom design option!

I'm making this blog post because I think Jayne and her lovely shop deserves to have a blog entry dedicated to them! The store is now my go to place for cameo necklaces; the items are pretty and reasonably-priced, and the owner is helpful, friendly and grateful!

Click here to visit her store! I highly recommend it!
