Peanut Gem
 âGet rich or eat peanutsâ.  Thereâs a snappy collection title that grabs the attention.  Itâs also the perfect summation for Marisa Jiwi Seokâs debut jewellery collection for her label Jiwinaia.  Seoul-born Seok graduated from Central Saint Martins but is now based in Milan, where all Jiwinaia pieces are made.  Jiwinaia has slowly bur surely been doing the âcool girlâ rounds on Instagram with good reason.  Itâs bling with smiley zing.  Peanuts feature of course in their in-shell form.  So do flames, smiley faces, pot leaves and clouds making this collection a surefire Insta-hit on the count of its emoji credentials.  I love the way the kitsch factor is dialled down by its arrangement, pitting pearl against peanut in a ring or round crystals with matchsticks.  A N.E.R.D. song lyric âI can make your storm feel sky blueâ also makes its way onto a thin text bangle.  After previous posts of a thousand plus words, thereâs not too much to expand on here other than you should watch out for the launch of Jiwinaiaâs e-commerce site.  The pieces donât exactly cost peanuts but theyâre definitely on the affordable scale of things.
