I’m a lover of all things sparkly and love browsing either on the internet or around the shops on the high street. However, with the blog now taking up alot of any spare time I have after working full time, tending to the little ones and finding time for my partner. I seem to shop or browse on-line far more when everyones tucked up in bed. I doubt if I’m totally alone in this and when I talk to my blogger buddies and parents alot of them seem to be in agreement.
So, on one of those evenings I found these beautiful ear cuffs when I was actually on a search for whimsical inspired pictures for my blog….we’ve all done it:) Always a bit of a magpie when it comes to pretty jewellery, I was drawn to the site to have a bit more of a look.
I really loved these ear cuffs and found out that the owner of the company ‘ValkenWolf’ is Amber Frettingham who is based in Lincoln. I contacted her to let her know that I would love to write a piece about her products because I loved them so much and I wanted to find out a bit more about her inspiration when designing such unusual jewellery.
Amber came across so lovely and explained that she has always loved nature, forests, mythical beings, magic & mystery. She said that ValkenWolf is her way of expressing this and sharing her passion with others.
When you see these delicately made wings and the other bespoke items she has created you can see the attention to detail. She lives and helps on a farm near the woods and make all manner of unique items in her spare time.
These fairy wing sparkly ear cuff are all made to order. They can be made for the left or right ear and be used if you have pierced ears or not.
All of these ear pieces are made by hand with Glitter, Acetate, Glue, Magic and Fairy dust!! They look stunning and fun to me.
Fairy wing sparkly ear cuffs are available in a rainbow of different colours- you can even ask ValkenWolf for a custom made one!
If you like the look of them then you can get yours here- www.etsy.com/uk/listing/256930884/fairy-wing-sparkly-ear-cuff?ref=pr_shop
I think that it is becoming harder to find those special pieces and these are something a bit different and reminded me of when I was travelling in South America. Thats for a different piece but it has started to bring back that feeling of natural expression that those years gave me.
My aim is to help bring a bit of magic and beauty into your everyday.
I was inspired by faery folklore to make an accessory that will turn heads and sparkle magically wherever the faeries lead you!

I think that this says it all, welcome to spring folks and I hope today is a magical day for you!

They are really different aren’t they. Time for the ears to get some attention eh #KCACOLS
yeah, a bit like getting beach ready but for the ears!:) thanks for your comment, hope your’e having a great weekend.
Oh wow I love these. I would definitely have worn them when I was younger as I was really into my piercings and earrings. Ive let a lot of my piercings close up now though and rarely have the time to change them. Thanks for linking to #PickNMix x
I agree with you about not finding any spare time since I have my blog. It is really hard. I love shopping too. I even have some vouchers to use ‘online’ that I haven’t had the chance to spend yet!! How bad is that!! I love these earrings and ear cuffs. They are really beautiful. I was actually going to say to you about seeing some similar styles in Peru. Thanks so much for sharing this at #KCACOLS. I would love to see you again on Sunday! 🙂 x
Yes, I remember wearing one feather ear ring, just in one ear! Home from work now and finishing off my latest post ready for the weekend:) Glad you enjoyed this one and thanks for your lovely comments:)
Wow these are so pretty and unique! I love the ear cuffs and I’m not sure why I don’t have any, think I need to get back into jewellery shopping after reading this! #KCACOLS x
oh yes, I know what you mean, shopping is so much fun!!:)
That’s really nice – I’m sure the seller really appreciated your post. It is hard to make things sometimes when people are so used to buying cheap pretty things and don’t always understand the time and effort that goes into hand making things. Clearly, you do. 😀

Thank you for your lovely comment:) yes, I think having a smaller creative business is probably quite tough with all the larger companies out there. Thanks:) Mainy
