SMOKEY

Did you know that in 12th century China flat planes of Smokey 
Quartz were used as the lenses for intricately
constructed
sunglasses?

These types of sunglasses could not correct vision, or protect from harmful UV rays, but did reduce glare. 

Chinese judges used the smoky quartz glasses to hide their facial expressions when they interrogated witnesses.

Smokey quartz is a brown to black variety of quartz

Like other quartz gems, it is a silicon dioxide crystal. The smoky color results from free silicon, formed from the silicon dioxide by natural irradiation.

At Corky Saint Clair we have a new range of rough, faceted smokey quartz and sterling silver rings.  

They vary in price but are around $80AUD.

CLOCK


Have you ever wondered what kind of clock Macgyver would have if were a rainbow loving hipster dad? 

Probably one of these awesome powder coated steel clocks that are very cleverly built with a super magnet on their back so they can attach to any metal surface. Very useful for when you need both hands in tricky situations.

Available from Corky Saint Clair $19AUD.

MIXTAPE

New Mixtape Enamel + Stainless Steel Brooch by Christopher-Hussein Bril 

I was inspired to make this super sweet brooch when my very nice boyfriend gave me a mixtape for Christmas. It had lots of cool songs on it including one by Judee Sill that I listen to all the time. I don't even know who she is but I like it.

We are giving one away as a special promotion. Just tell us your ultimate 'mixtape killer track'. Just one track per person please. 

Competition ends on June 12, Tuesday at 9am.

CRYSTAL





Dear Diary
It seems my crystal habit is spinning totally out of control.

I love crystals so much, nothing seems to matter when I'm staring at them.

Today I bought this stunning "Crystal Teeth" necklace from beloved indie jewellery shop Corky Saint Clair for just $60AUD.  It consists of four quartz points on an 80cm Italian sterling silver chain.

I have spent hours playing with the necklace as the quartz teeth
spin around the rod that holds them.

I always wanted more from my life but maybe crystals are enough.

Peace out

NIGHT OWL


When you stay up late at night like an owl, you'll need this guy for tea & company in the fast approaching winter season.

He loves gently bathing in your favourite tea cup or mug with your favourite infusion.

This owl's special properties for healing during vespertine activities include curing insomnia, procuring bedfellows, completing work tasks, inspiring midnight snacks, and preventing you from embarrassingly crying infront of company while watching sad tv shows or films.

MUSTACHE

Having a rich, thick, deep mustache is one of the true pleasures of adult manhood.

With the rise of hipsterism
an entire fetishization
of facial hair has begun afresh. 

Sites such as The Daily Beard and most gay Tumblr sites are virtual shrines to facial hair.

Some of the guys on The Daily Beard aren't that hot - it's more just about their masculinity - which is what the bushy mustache signifies - obvious manliness.


The truth is that guys do look more handsome with facial hair. It isn't a gay thing - it's the simple visual fact that areas of darkness will provide your face with topographical definition - it's like the way trannies and trashy women contour their faces with foundation and blush to create the illusion of having cheekbones and more slender necklines.


I grew my mustache to show my friend Michael Pham that I could grow a better mustache than him during Movember

Movember is a very magical time of the year when all the young men in Melbourne look about 50% hotter. It's like lust land everywhere you look.

I was utterly shocked that I was able to grow a mustache. I quickly forgot about besting Michael and learnt to love my mustache.



I designed this mustache shaped comb to comb my mustache. The visual rhyming is too obvious not to enjoy.

TRIANGLE




Dear Corky


I wear a lot of necklaces, and one of my favorites features a large triangle.


I love the ability to switch its meaning in a certain wearing of it.


When I wear the necklace the right side up, the triangle stand erect, and I feel that I'm affirming my masculine energies. 


When inverted, with the tip pointed down, I'm hailing my feminine wiles. Few objects can match the duplicity of my moods, so I appreciate this versatility.


I know you are busy running the shop and your award winning jewllery label but have you got any advice for triangle jewellery wearing?


Any help would be much appreciated


Love Bailey-Rose




Dear Bailey-Rose


We recently sourced some solid
black
agate triangles. 


They are presented on an 80cm Italian Sterling silver chain.


Customers that have tried the new 
Solid Black Agate Power Triangle  have described energies emanating from them such as heightened creativity, ascenscion, manifestation
and deep illumination.


I hope this helps with your triangle quest!

Love Always
Corky
