Heart & Crafty

Heart & Crafty is a jewelley line handmade by Auckland designer Rachel Osborne, sold online and at craft markets around town. Now, Heart & Crafty releases a dainty new range called 'Petite' using recyled findings and chains...

It’s the small things in life.

"I always thought small little pendants and earrings were too dainty, too middle-aged, and disappeared in an overall outfit" says crafter Rachel Osborne. "I have always been into big chunky jewellery that makes a ridiculous statement of simply how strong your neck is to support such things."

"But something about small things is turning me on!"

"Thus my latest greatest range is entitled ‘Petite’, and it’s got your name all over it baby!"

Using all second hand and pre-loved pieces of jewellery, even recycled findings where possible, this range is all about re-loving and resurrecting, and reconstructing. Everything is small and sweet, as light as a whisper on your skin: perfect for the filthy hot weather we’ve been having.

Thread.co.nz loves these recycled chains with retro and vintage pendants.

With a variety of plastic, metal and ceramic treasures, Petite is a softly-spoken word, rather than loud 'statement jewellery'.  What's great is that you get a one-off piece that no-one else will ever have, and all priced around $NZ 19 - $39 each.
