Well my first newsletter went life last week, and what a week, and although it was a lot of work it was really worth it!, I got very positive feedback and quite a few orders which is not bad! I think some times people think they have to pay a lot of money for what is essentialy the same quality product. Designer jewellery is not only what is sold on big high street chains, if anything they are the opposite, they have to appear to the largest range of people therefore the desings are normally bland and not very interesting.

When you buy from a designer maker, you have the power to choose whether you want your piece of jewellery to be silver or gold, what stones you like, all the way down to the length of your earrings or your necklaces, you can always get a necklace and earrings set if that is what you like AND you are getting most of the times a one of the kind!. It seems to me buying jewellery from the source, from the designer is the only way you can be sure you are getting exactly what you want, a perfect piece of jewellery and great customer service.

With my handmade jewellery collection there is still a better feel good advantage, my packaging is either recycled or recyclable.

So, next time you want an interesting present for your love one, buy handmade support the jewellery artists and support made in the UK!.

Well, having a 10 months baby does not keep me busy enough! (apparently!) so after what seemed an eternity my own brand of handcrafted jewellery The London Studio is now live on the website!, you can preview some pieces of the new summer collection.

I have chosen just a few pieces from three major categories necklaces, earrings and weddings. This is one of my best sellers, great little number!
