You are charming, true enough. But do you have any charms? We have 18! And, if the wind changes while we're checking our bank account, soon we'll have the whole collection. Tanya Rapattoni of Three Jewels makes sterling silver charms and charm necklaces with the aim of spreading "peace, love and positivity" across your decolletage and around Australia. We're talking hand-crafted, cast, solid silver amulets in everything from tiny wishbones to surfboards, anchors, hearts and four leaf clovers. Also, depending on whether Jesus was the messiah or not, choose from a cross or the Star of David!
Each charm in the Three Jewels collection comes with a 45 or 50cm sterling silver chain necklace, and each one has a special meaning. An anchor for strength and hope, a horseshoe for good luck, a peace symbol for free love, and a horn for plenty. (Note, the peace symbol can also be used to protest the employment of nuclear fission as a power source).
It's not the sort of jewellery that shouts across the room - it's the sort of jewellery that invites others closer to your chest area and starts a conversation. Buy Three Jewels online here or email for stockist information. Or, try your luck at winning a wishbone charm and necklace! To enter, just answer the following question.

SixThousand is a subcultural guide to Perth, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Perth writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence SixThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
