The Best Summer 2023 Wedding Trends

22nd May 2023

My own wedding was over 30 years ago but that doesn’t mean I don’t remember how stressful it was to organise and today I think it is even worse with so much influence from social media, wedding planners (it was me and my mum!) and what seems to me to be a huge amount of pressure. I had a wonderful early Spring wedding, and the weather was very kind, but summer weddings are always a pop...

Cubic Zirconia over Real & Lab Diamonds

28th April 2023

If you are looking for the perfect jewellery for a special occasion or gift – most people head straight for diamonds. The traditional solitaire engagement ring, the tennis bracelet for a 21st birthday or solitaire studs for a 30th birthday or an anniversary but there are other options now – both lab grown diamonds and cubic zirconia offer an alternative. Lab grown diamonds are becoming...

Silver Jewellery for Mother's Day Gifts

2nd March 2023

Mother’s Day is always a special day of the year. As a mum myself, it is always lovely to feel appreciated and spoilt (although not too much spoiling as my boys are 20 And 22!) I used to love the days of homemade cards, big kisses, and dodgy breakfast in bed. As a daughter as well, I really love to spoil my mum with both gifts but also spending time together. I know Mother’s Day can be...

Silver Jewellery Gifts for her this Valentine’s Day

1st February 2023

What can I say about Valentine’s Day? Is it just commercial rubbish invented to make us part with more of our money or a genuine chance to be romantic and appreciate someone special in our lives? Well, its probably a bit of both, but I have always liked special days like this. Just like Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and even Grandparent’s day (I’m quite a fan of nationa...

Christmas Party Jewellery Sparkle Time!

14th December 2022

December is here all of a sudden it would seem, and we are definitely heading into the Christmas party season. I don’t really need an excuse to add some sparkle to my look – I love twinkling jewellery and the more glitzy the better. Good job I work with silver jewellery! But Christmas really does give us all the excuse to go all out with our look. Christmas is all about sparkle, lights...

Silver Jewellery Stocking Fillers

13th December 2022

One of my favourite parts of Christmas is Christmas Eve, all cosy around the fire with a Christmas film on the TV – usually has to be Love Actually but Elf and Jingle All the Way are also popular choices! Then once it’s time for bed getting those stocking hung up. It was always a wondrous time when my boys were little – the excitement of putting out the stockings together with mi...

Not me I'm afraid, for some reas...

Black Friday - Silver Jewellery Savings

17th November 2022

Once the clocks change and Halloween and bonfire night are all done, inevitably people start talking about Christmas. Far too early in my view but then again, I do like the big tins of chocolates and the twiglet party tubs! As everyone starts to think about Christmas – it’s always shopping and gifts we think about first. This year with the price of everything going up and up, I think m...

Halloween Silver Jewellery Treats

5th October 2022

So Autumn is officially here, and I love October when the days are still bright and often sunny – crisp and chilly as the leaves change colour but still not the dark and damp days that seem to follow when the clocks change, and we move into November. One of the celebrations I have always loved is Halloween, ever since the days when my boys were little and would dress up as various cats, ghos...

Summer Silver Jewellery Perfect for Holidays

4th July 2022

I love the Summer; I love leaving coats and jumpers behind and wearing sandals and strappy summer dresses. I love how light it is in the morning and the wonderful long warm evenings.

Sparkling Jewellery for Christmas Gifts & Parties

8th December 2021

Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, at the risk of sounding a bit ‘baa humbug’, it all started a bit early for me this year – especially when the radio station I usually listen to at work started playing 100% Christmas songs in November. But… now December is here, I feel the build up to Christmas can really begin. We have been so busy with Black Friday and Christmas sales, it...

Silver Jewellery Treats & Sparkles

22nd October 2021

Autumn is my favourite time of year – crisp, colder days with beautiful bright sunshine, frosty nights where you can snuggle inside with fires and friends.

I also love the fun events in late Autumn – the perfect excuse to dress up (fancy dress or otherwise) and meet with frie...

Jewellery Winter Essentials for January

7th January 2021

Well, what a start to 2021 – we had all hoped that we had left lockdowns, closed high streets, empty pubs and restaurant behind in 2020 but sadly not.

Layering Necklaces

21st October 2020

The Long & Short of It: Layering Necklaces It all started with the trend to layer bangles and bracelets – nothing looks better than armful of fine silver bangles and hand made silver bracelets which all have some meaning to you. They tinkle and move as you do, becoming a part of you and your look. This trend has been around for years – I remember wearing dozens of bangles mi...
