Welcome to A Little Bird Told Me About… – a new series that sees me scouring the interwebs for beautiful brands, exciting new products and pretty things to feast your eyes upon.
First to be featured is the eco-friendly and oh-so lovely jewellery and accessories range by Stolen Thunder.
The wonderful folks at Stolen Thunder create playful pieces with wood and vintage chain. Their hand drawn graphics are inspired by childhood memories and transformed into original necklaces, rings, brooches and more.

I was sent two items from the collection, and I’m rather taken with them both…

Baby Russian Doll Necklace, £23.50
The craftsmanship on each piece is just a joy to behold, and I love the unique clasp tags displaying the brand. Wooden jewellery is unusual and unique – so many people asked where my necklace was from when I wore it today.



Wearing: ASOS knitted midi dress, Topshop leggings, Merc cardigan (under coat), faux fur cropped jacket via car boot sale, very.co.uk boots, Primark owl ring, Stolen Thunder Bambi Necklace
On: Tuesday 30th November
For: A spot of shopping, a bit of cleaning and a lot of lounging on a day off work
Alice and Joy are the brains behind Stolen Thunder’s beauty, and they definitely know the way to a woman’s heart – Marina and the Diamonds is a fan and the Party collection was designed for (and worn by) Marina on her Family Jewels tour.
Stolen Thunder pieces are handmade in England with love and you can have one of your very own with just a couple of clicks on the website. Next on my list is a personalised necklace… or ring… or both. Now I need to decide what I want my necklace… or ring… or both to say. I <3 pugs? I <3 cheese? Grammar 4 eva? Any suggestions?
Ohhh I do lust over stolen thunder! so many pretty things on their site, makes me love them even more that they are hand made on our very own island! Really love the two you were sent 🙂 Haha gotta love personalised jewellery, if you got an I heart cheese necklace I think I’d love you forever! :p xx
Loving the outfit. I long for a short animal print fur jacket but I really would look like a yeti! I have already found a brooch and a necklace on the site I want. Oh! Hello Christmas List…my husband now has items to buy me!
Oh this jewellery is so lovely, it’s very unique and the designs are so quirky. Love the Russian Doll; I am forever fond of the Russian Doll. The Bambi reminds me very much of my love for the film too.
P.S That dress looks stunning on you x
Ooh I love Stolen Thunder jewellery! I really want the ‘I <3 tea’, ‘I love gin’ necklace!
Gorgeous, love the Matryoshka necklace, approx how big is it?
I just love the dress on you! And oh my the Bambi necklace!
love the layers, proportions and colours of this outfit, jen! the wooden necklaces are ever so cute, especially the bambi one! xx
I spotted this on someones blog last week and made sure I put them in my favourites. The russian doll that you got given was my favourite. I love jewellery thats a little quirky, I always think it should make a statement.
The bambi necklace looks perfect with your dress!

The first thing that struck me about the brand was the way it was wrapped. I think whenever something is interestingly presented it gives the item an extra appeal. For example I’ve never ordered anything from net-a-porter but I’ve spoken to plenty of people who have. The one thing that they all mentioned was how beautifully wrapped their items were when they received them and that was one of the best things about ordering from that site.
The actual combination of vintage chain and wood looks really great together it gives it a bit of grittiness which I personally really like. The detail on the Russian doll is awesome as is the little ‘stolen thunder’ on the heart. I’d have liked to have seen similar detail on the bambi necklace unless it’s just flipped backwards, but the silhouette looks great.
I really love your faux fur jacket too!
Eek – Russian doll looks suspiciously like the one Lady Luck Rules OK did, that was also ripped by ASOS. Packaging is spot on though.
Beautiful, the wrapping is very unique.
Love the idea of it being eco friendly.
The outfit is beautiful Jen, love that dress on you. Perfect.

My boyfriend bought me the Bambi brooch of theirs! So cute! We have a little store here that sells their range!

Oh, I have a necklace that I won on Carrie’s blog (Wish Wish Wish). I’m pretty sure it’s one of theirs as it’s so similar in design and they’re pretty unique. xx

These pieces are absolutely gorgeous, so unique and they look really well-made! I love features on independent retailers, especially in times like this when the financial recessions can hit smaller businesses hard. Good for you for writing about them! 🙂 jazzy ♥
