Sometimes people send me emails with questions like, “Do you really use those fancy tape and packing accessories you post? Or are they just for show?” And the answer is yes, I love and use decorative tape on a regular basis. On what? Just about anything. Mail, bills, rent checks to my landlord — anything that could use a little sprucing up. I get that it’s not the most crucial thing to own, but if you like to fancy up your mail like I do, you’re going to appreciate this jewel tape that Amanda at Nonsuchthings just added to her shop. Amanda spotted this sweet jewel-print tape in Paris earlier this year and immediately placed an order with the designer, Parisian jeweler Marie-Héléne de Taillac. Each jewel photo on the tape is made from a real ring in a spectrum of colors, ranging from greens and blues to sparkly pinks or reds. If you’re looking to dress up your holiday packages or just gussy-up your everyday mail, click here to pick up a roll ($12) at Nonesuchthings.

Must have NOW!

World would be a better place if everyone sealed letters with such a lovely tape!
Thank you for this great tip! Think I’ll buy a few rolls and use some as stocking stuffers for my sister and mother in law (and one for myself).
i have the pattern ones
this one is really pretty!!!
Max, world would be an even better place if more people actually wrote letters!!!
What a great way to fancy up a package!
I. Love. This. I still I get a thrill every time I use lace tape!
Must have! My daughter will love it too… ;)
Jeez Louise that tape is gorgeous!
My husband would like this;) He’s the gift wrapper in the family and always does such an amazing job making the package a present in and of itself.
Brilliant. Perfect for holiday gift wrapping. Thanks for sharing. xo, A
Super fancy. I love. Now I just need to think of something to mail. Maybe I’ll mail something to myself ;)
This is great and reminded me an earring project with paper jewels I did this weekend:

love it. i just ordered some!
So unique! Now that Japanese decorative tape is so ubiquitous (don’t get me wrong, I still love it), it’s refreshing to see this. What a labor of love on the part of the jeweler!
I’m going to bookmark this – I think my gift-wrapping crazed readers would like it.
How neat! I’ve seen some pretty cool patterned tapes, but this one takes the cake!
O.M.G. love this. :)
am i the only one who thought it was a freakin’ gorgeous ring at first? double-take city!
Gosh that’s so lovely, it’s almost a work of art!
Okay, would love to have some jewel tape but it’s now sold out, anybody know who else carries this gorgeous stuff?
I didn’t read the title and thought that was a ring…. either way beautiful!
that is the beat thing ever!
That tape is amazing! I love it!
I just had an email saying the Jewel Tape is back in stock, albeit in limited supply. Just ordered some.
i love the jewelled tape. How much is it to buy? and how do i go about buying it?
thanks
