On a wet day I cast around looking for something in the house to photograph when my eye fell upon my wife's jewellery box. It contains very few jewels in the sense of precious stones since they don't really appeal to her. What it does have is a varied collection of mainly necklaces and ear-rings, with a few bracelets, the sum of several decades' purchases and gifts. The ear-rings are in pairs, out of shot, perhaps the subject for another day. However, the jumble of necklaces and bracelets made a for a colourful macro lens subject with its assortment of materials, shapes, colours and textures.
