Jewels for Gaga!

Another really exciting opportunity that came up in May was a chance to create some pieces for Lady Gaga. As she was playing Radio Ones big weekend in Carlisle I was double excited, not least because Carlisle is where I am from and its a little town that deserves some amazing stuff to happen there! When I first started creating jewellery I was known for my huge, statement piece necklaces that we offered through our London market stall, so this was a perfect chance to revisit my first love of creating massive, eye catching, crazy pieces for the Lady herself! So we made her a box of goodies, my favourite ones I've featured below, first of all there was a massive brooch made from tons of tape measures and hand studded with brass dome findings, it measured over a foot in length and was super fiddly to make but it looked stunning when it was finished. The second piece was a crazy necklace featuring the best of british sweets, biscuits, chocolates and and things sweet and lovely. I enjoyed making this necklace so much, it looked so realistic and it was a pleasure to make pieces on such a big scale, its certainly inspired me to start making big statement pieces to feature on the website soon. I hope Gaga enjoys them as much as I loved making them :)

Whats been going on?

It has been far too long between blog updates but from now on we are going to make sure that the blog gets updated much more regularly. When you run a small business you often find you get so swamped by the day to day tasks like the extra bits such as blogs sometimes get neglected. At least we have a very good reason for our neglected blog, it is purely because we have been so busy. We have started wholesaling to lots of new shops and boutiques which is great as it means there are so many more independent retailers stocking our products and spreading the word about what we do. We've also been featured in loads of magazine and papers lately and we've had such a great response to those pieces its been tricky keeping up with demand, but as always all of our customers have been super patient and lovely while we waited for new stock to arrive and made sure that everyones order was filled as swiftly as possible. In the meantime I've been sourcing gorgeous new charms and supplies, finalising new designs and working on a couple of top secret projects with some really exciting new collaborators. Also I'm busy blitzing the studio in preparation for a BIG summer sale where we will create a whole new category to clear out our sale goodies with end of line pieces, samples, one of a kind statement bits and other such treasures! I'm a girl who loves a bargain myself so my ethos is to make sure our prices are always fair and affordable so hopefully our new sale category will appeal to all of you fellow bargain hunters out there!
