The Rogue & The Wolf

I was doing my usual, sitting in bed, flicking through instagram and then that epic moment occurred... You know the one where you're thinking blah, blah, blah same old instagram, selfies, food, dogs and then out of nowhere WHAM...it hits you! That amazing picture that smacks you in the face and you think 'I have instantly fallen in love'. I must immediately look at their page and buy everything they have, so you eagerly click away, 'liking' absolutely everything, and suddenly a world of excitement opens up. This particular world is known as The Rogue and The Wolf.

The Rogue & The Wolf is the loving creative child of Eloise and Michael, a pair of imaginative designers and self confessed eclectic geeks (and loving couple, which is just awesome!). It was launched in 2012 where they began their journey on Etsy. In 2013 they launched their first full collection called Fair/Feral and in 2014 they launched their 2nd full collection, The Witch's Hawk and it was this magical collection that caught my eye, cast it's spell and drew me in.

What I loved about their collection first and foremost is that some of the collection is black!!! And being of the witchy/gothy persuasion I instantly fell in love! Secondly, I adore midi rings and the combination of black midi rings with metal rings adorning the hands of their followers, just looked amazing!
Thirdly, their overall designs in everything they create are simply stunning. For me, the natural/woodsy/witchy designs of their entire collection is absolutely awe-inspiring and brings something much different yet much desired to the table.

In order to create the black jewellery, The Rogue & The Wolf use 3D printing technology to create the beautiful taxidermy inspired, avant-garde style jewellery and trust me....their pieces are a bold statement.

So far I have indulged in 4 midi rings, I'm going to aim to treat myself once a month with a new piece or 3, why the hell not, I deserve it! Their jewellery is very reasonably priced and I was actually quite surprised at how little I paid for the black jewellery. My automatic response to "different" is, woah this is going to be expensive!

When I place my order for my stunning jewellery, I'm greeted with a simplistic yet beautiful website. My eyes are assaulted with so much beauty and my bank account shudders at the thought of what's about to occur!  When checking out I'm asked (as with most sites) if I would like to subscribe/set up an account etc... I definitely do as it was love at first sight. As an added bonus for purchasing/joining/sharing/caring and tagging their beauties on social media platforms, they give you style points. 100 style points = £1 and if you do it right, you can rack up quite a number of points.

When the jewellery arrives a couple of days later it is enclosed in a box and presented in the most gorgeous little bag. I hate to admit it but secretly, just like everyone else on this planet, I'm all about first impressions (don't lie, you do it too!) and their first impression is, well.......pretty damn impressive!

Upon opening the bag you are greeted with your gorgeous new purchases and a business card. The midi rings are stunning and so comfortable (I was a midi ring virgin) and when I wore them out, everyone commented on them!

This shop has rapidly become on of my favourite shops and I have to thank instagram as I stumble across so many amazing things!

So if you're after something a little bit special, something a bit different and something that's guaranteed to be a bold statement, head on over and check them out! Don't forget to log in and earn those style points! Honestly one of my new favourite shops...I need everything they sell!!!
