It all started as a child when I asked Father Christmas for a pirate set, and to my delight he fished out a cute Lego set from his big brown bag, ever since I've been hooked.
My passion for those brightly coloured bricks had been born and I was more than determined to start my own treasure chest of Lego.
Lucky for me there use to be a shop where I lived at the time that sold nothing but Lego, it's closed down now and is replaced by some Internet cafe.
My obsession had me collecting tons of the stuff until my bedroom resembled a shrine.
I later grew out of it, will not completely, but I'm not a avid collector like I use to be.
Years later I appreciate Lego for a different reason, it's fun, kitsch and playful.
You can create anything you want out of it and the best part is there are no limitations.
It's not just for kids, Lego jewellery has become the hottest trend in fashion with many adults buying Lego rings or necklaces for themselves and their partners.
Even my boyfriend who professes to disliking all quirky jewellery, has a watch made from Lego and crystals.
Many celebrities have been spotted wearing Lego rings including, the singer Jessie J which has helped Lego jewellery to become more mainstream and not just for people who love quirky or unique jewellery.
You don't even have to be a fan of Lego, there are dozens of styles that would appeal to most people.
Everything from brick rings, to Lord Of The Rings Lego brooches.

| My Lego ring creation |
I tend to make my own range of quirky retro style handmade Lego jewellery using all kinds of pearls and rhinestones to jazz it up, giving it a fun and unique appeal.
I love character Lego jewellery and have made a few. Some are not on the site yet.

I have also made scrabble Lego pendants and rings, adding different coloured flowers to give it a vintage look, but haven't found the time to upload it to the site.
Next time it will be gothic style Lego rings with a touch of sparkle.
