RK Designs- Necklace & Earrings Review

July 2, 2015

I am a huge fan of dainty jewelry especially those with a witty twist to it. I’m the type to wear one piece of jewelry every single day for months. In highschool/university, I loved the designs that Blue Ruby carried but often their selection overwhelmed me. I’ve been taking a closer look at local designers and one that I’ve been loving is RK Designs from Vancouver Island.

 

Polar Bear with Quartz Chain Necklace

How fun is this?! I love myself a long necklace to accessorize a plain tee or dress. The polar bear on this chain just makes it so much better! I really liked the addition of the quartz on the side of the chain as it gives it more of a designer look versus the many animal pendants at Aldo.

The chain is a gold plated brass chain and the bear pendant is also brass. You can see some pressing done on the brass to make the fur look more realistic. The material and craftsmanship is of a high quality. The hooks and closures are tightly twisted to ensure nothing breaks apart. I didn’t find any nicks or bumps in the plating or the chain.

I wanted to show the difference adding a necklace makes to an outfit! You can see it adds a lot more interest and elongates the frame.

Mixed Stone Earrings

I’ve also been on the hunt for some nice hook earrings and these caught my eyes. These are made of moonstone, chrysocolla, and chalcedony briolette. The hooks are made of gold plated brass.

The stones varies in color and slightly in shape. One of the stones has a slight crack throughout. I asked the owner about it and she said that it’s part of the asethics of the stone and that they are suppose to be imperfectly perfect. I think it still looks nice and adds to the authenticity of the look, but I did want to let you guys know!

My ears are really sensitive and I’m happy to say I didn’t have any issues wearing this! At first I thought the earring was going to be too heavy, but they were actually very comfortable to wear.

Overall I’m very happy with the quality, design, and price of these pieces! I will definitely be wearing the earrings on a daily basis and using the necklace to amp up any of my plain shirts/dresses! The earrings retail for $30 and the necklace for $35. Which design do you like best? What’s your favorite place to buy jewelry?

Here are the best things I ate in Japan - restaraunt edition! (do you want to see one for snacks? or do you want to see a worst things I ate in Japan?)
Prices of the specific dish listed below.

1. Kanoko, try their special green tea infused soba or normal soba. I loved the dashi and tempura. Perfect lunch option for after visiting the tori gates. 1,300 Yen 🍜

2. Okonomiyaki Sakaba, you can pick the inside filling and a lot of the options were meat based. The sauce on top is delicious and you may be surprised the inside is mostly cabbage and not flour. 1,000 Yen🍥

3. Udon Bo Osaka, I tried out a cold dipping udon and it was excellent! They have a special yuzu sauce and the tempura is amazing too. 1,250 Yen 🍤

4. Roast Beef Ohno, the most affordable way to eat wagyu! Loved the sauces and nice side veggie dishes too. 1,750 Yen 🥓

5. Fuunji, flavorful dipping ramen with a vending machine to order! 1,400 (with egg + bamboo add on)🍱

6. Maguro Koya, holy crap I'm addicted to Ootoro now. So glad we splurged and got the double portion. We also tried the chutoro sashimi to compare cuts. 3,200 Yen 🍣

Hope this provides some delicious inspo for the best food in Japan!
Here's what I found from Ragtag in Japan!! 🤩🤩
I've definitely had my eye on a Dior piece and it's extra special that this design is a Japan exclusive.
I have to say, second hand designer shopping is a lot harder than I remembered! There are SO many stores now, I probably visited 20+ and the prices are not so cheap anymore 🤧🤧
.
A similar card holder from Dior is probably $600 CAD + tax. I got this one for ~$350 CAD. It's in excellent condition but there was no dust bag nor box.

📍 Ragtag, Shinseibashi, Osaka
