Hidden neatly in my Wild Lily Empire parcel surprise was a necklace. Known as the Ribbon Weave, this stunning necklace has become my go-to necklace of the season. Just in time for Christmas and the festivities that occur at the end of the year, my new necklace was the perfect accessory to add to any outfit. 

You only need to feel the weight of the necklace to recognise the quality of the materials from which it has been lovingly made. By heavy I don’t mean it will have you battling to stand up straight, I just mean it’s not flimsy-it’s made to last. The silver chains are adorned with black ribbon and beads which drop elegantly around the neck. The black ribbon was initially intertwined between the silver loops but it has since wriggled its way out and now falls on its own. I’m guessing my over-wearage (not a word but how else do I describe it?) is the reason for that. I still think it looks great though so no problems there. 

A flat round stone sits on the right and sparkles (from what I’ve determined after an extensive Google search) as a ‘midnight blue’. It’s not the sort of blue that jumps out at you though and makes it impossible to match with what you’re wearing. It’s understated and can really only be seen when the light hits the stone on the right angle. 

The Ribbon Weave necklace was the perfect present for an accessory-lover like me. It dresses up any plain outfit (or busy outfit-as you see I’m wearing a floral top in the photos) and sits proudly as the statement necklace it is. So whoever is on your gift list-whether it be a girly girl, a sophisticated business woman, that friend at the cutting edge of fashion or for the girl that’s just too hard to buy for-the Ribbon Weave necklace is a gift I think she’ll be happy with. Once they’re ticked off your list I suggest you treat yourself-it’s a gorgeous necklace that is likely to become your favourite. 

A BIG thanks to Wild Lily Empire for treating me to such a special piece!
