Carly Paiker for Sportsgirl

I have blogged about Carly Paiker jewellery before. I love her designs, but they're a little out of my price range. It's always exciting when you know the designer, and have watched the brand grow from its grassroots in little old Perth and it is now taking on Australia. Well done Carly, your unique designs, quality pieces and perseverance have paid off. I think this will really put Carly Paiker jewellery on the map.

In an interview by the Australian Jewish News, Carly says:

“I wanted this so much. I could see my brand, I had a vision for it all and everything else followed... I made mistakes, and I figured out how to do it along the way. Now I have my products being made in three to four factories in Bali and China... If I needed something made, I usually wanted it to be made so badly that I would spend hours researching it. I was willing to take risks because it meant so much to me.”

This is my favourite necklace which is available as part of Carly's 2011 range:
