So guess what I've been working on pretty much this whole week.
the current thing trad losers are losing their minds over is one singular dude on reddit that refurbished and hand painted a grandfather clock and they keep saying the guy “ruined its value” or “threw thousands out the window by vandalizing a precious heirloom” and let me just say as someone densely familiar with the world of antiques, there’s a 99% chance that this clock was a mass produced reproduction and there’s a 100% chance that clock is not as valuable as ppl think it is. when people hear the word ‘grandfather clock’ they’re always gonna assume you’re talking about something that was handmade in a woodshop by a jolly old man when rlly repros take up a waaay bigger slice of the market far more than any handcrafted items. and besides people will repaint or redecorate these ‘oh so sacred handcrafted items’ every day there’s a huge market for them. it’s the same reason why people like long furbies or dolls that have been customized to have like gore mouths or something. this is literally like watching a bunch of pretentious farts make a mountain out of a molehill. also the clock is kinda cool if I’m being honest
….well, she’s got the spirit!

Herons have captured my attention lately. I love their feathers and shapes.
The 'Planetoid Valleys' necklace and 'Darina´s Bracelet' were originally parts of Lapponia's 1969 'Space Silver' collection.
George Lucas had seen Weckström's striking silver pieces and wanted to feature them in 'Star Wars'. Costume designer John Mollo bought the necklace and bracelet from Lapponia's London store in 1976, just before filming started.
The 'Space Silver' collection is still in production, and can be ordered from Kalevala, the company which took over the Lapponia brand.
Necklace, €2.965 | Bracelet, €825
