David Neale 18K Fiori stud earrings




I had these earrings custom made for my wedding. They're exquisite and well-crafted. They appear delicate but are quite robust. The 18K gold makes them quite luminous. My photos doesn't do them justice.

I'm a big fan of David Neale's work. His work is playful and wonderfully expressive. He shares a bit about the process of how they're made: here

Size: Approximately 12mm in diameter or slightly under 1/2". I've worn these two or three times and they're still perfect.

Asking for $300 (ships free from Australia). I paid a steep $800 for these!

& Other Stories black heeled stacked leather sandals sz 37


[posted for monica] 

I purchased these two months ago when there was only a size 37 left, not a 38, and I convinced myself that they would work. Meanwhile two months later I’ve only worn them around the house because they’re definitely too small on me and I know the night would end in agony because of it. And of course now it’s too late to return them. They’re still for sale on the & Other Stories site but only a size 9 remains — my loss can be your gain! They’re super chic and useful and amazing. Hoping they can find a new home with someone who’s actually a 37.


Please note that I’m leaving town on Tuesday for six weeks, so I’ll need to find someone to take these by Sunday/Monday!

Paid: $106 (incl shipping)
Asking: $86, plus actual shipping costs (or pickup in Brooklyn)

Contact monicanina [at] gmail.com with questions!

good luck!
