Tatty Devine, the quirky jewellery brand who normally work with Perspex, have launched a range of silver jewellery named ‘Fine’. Fine has the same fun appeal of Tatty Devine but with a touch of luxury. Just like all of the pieces from Tatty Devine, the Fine collection is handmade in the UK. Featuring moustaches and chip forks, you won’t find silver jewellery with a better sense of humour anywhere else.

Tatty Devine is run by Rosie Wolfenden and Harriet Vine. The girls set up the company in 1999, and still run it completely independently. Tatty Devine has become a cult classic of British fashion with its witty, offbeat designs. 99% of the jewellery is made by hand in Tatty Devine's own workshops (one in London and one in Kent) and each year, two main collections are launched at London Fashion Week. They have over 100 stockists worldwide and have collaborated with the likes of Rob Ryan, Peter Jensen and Basso & Brooke.

Alongside necklaces, rings, earrings and bracelets, the brand also designs belts, badges and cufflinks. Tatty Devine’s much loved Name Necklaces began life as Christmas presents for friends in 2004, and you can now design your own Name Necklace to be made in Tatty Devine's London workshop. For a mega Valentine’s treat how about this fab Rob Ryan ‘Everything I love lives in my heart’ necklace by Tatty Devine. This necklace formed the centrepiece to a papercut made by Rob Ryan for an exhibition in Tatty Devine's Brick Lane boutique. It costs £230, but is really a collector’s piece.

Tatty Devine and Eley Kishimoto Collaborate on Batmosphere Jewellery Collection

Fashion label Eley Kishimoto works by the maxim ‘Print the world’. After creating print designs for Marc Jacobs, Alexander McQueen and Alber Elbez, among others, Eley Kishimoto launched their own womenswear line in the mid 90s. As one of the most successful partnerships in fashion, Mark Eley and Wakako Kishimoto soon moved their design expertise onto home furnishings, wallpapers, glass wear and crockery.

Now for the first time, they have formed a collaboration with funky jewellery brand Tatty Divine. Eley Kishimoto invited the cult jeweller to design a range based on their latest prints, imaginatively named Batmosphere, Rush and Star Struck! Tatty Devine picked out individual elements of the prints to create some very fun necklaces and earrings.

The Eley Kishimoto A/W fashion collection includes (as you might expect from the name) bats and stars, as well as colourful animal prints and florals.  If you love cute, fun fashion this is right up your street. There is a floaty trapeze dress with large shooting star print, an oversized cardy with bat motif across the chest and geometric mid length long sleeved dress.

The jewellery on offer is made from shiny perspex, so they appear to pop right out of the original pattern. Materials include dazzling glitter and mirror perspex, with the addition of Swarovski crystals. Don’t be fooled into thinking these bits of Perspex come cheap though, as the most expensive necklace costs £108.  It is the ‘Star Struck’ necklace, made from silver and blue glitter laser cut stars hanging from platinum coloured chain. For a cheaper alternative you can get a single star struck pendent for £33.
