Is it as beautiful in RL as it looks on the website? Really love a particular necklace but don't want to drive all the way to a stockist to see it, shall I risk it and just buy online?

They are exquisitely detailed.

I have the gold bee, silver "Mr & Mrs Bird" on a hoop and for Christmas I got a one-off Trunk Show piece

yes, it is wonderful in rl

I'm hoping to get another piece this year. I follow him on facebook, he puts new pieces up all the time and they are all lovely :)

I've got a shrimp, though it is missing at the moment - I think it's lovely, though it was smaller than I has expected!

I love the silver, think the gold plated stuff looks like £5 tat from Topshop. I actually returned a plated necklace because the plating wasn't even and it looked so cheap.

It is smaller than I expected too Amber - have you seen the Goring shrimp he does IRL?

Shouldn't that be KNOBBER Maureen? Wink

They are very 'copied' though. Lots of fakes around.

I agree about the gold plated stuff. I have the posy heart but the plating is very thin and you really have to look after it. I still love it though.

I love the gold too and have the bird in a hoop with ruby eyes and it is much admired whenever I wear it. it was smaller and the chain much finer than i had expected, but i still love it. Don't like the silver - looks cheaper by far

I have an owl and I wasn't impressed at all. It is tiny and the silver was discoloured when I got it. It looks much cheaper than it was.
