Tag Necklaces & Bracelets

9ct Rose Gold & Silk Love Tag, 9ct Yellow Gold Floral Initial & Silk Bracelets

Jonathan Tag with Mini Love and Arrow Tag Necklace

9ct Rose Gold 3d Floral Ring with Peach Sapphire and Diamond Buds

I have been wearing my Tag Bracelets for ages now and I thought it would be a good idea to share them. The rose one is a 'Love & Cupids Arrow' tag and the yellow one is a 'Mini Floral Initial' coin, both on woven taupe silk. They are really nice together and I never take them off.

For mother's day, I made a double tag necklace. The regular tag had the child's name engraved and the smaller one had 'Love' on one side and 'Cupids Arrow' on the other - it was so cute so I am going to be making more of them!

A new piece that will be available this summer it the 3d Floral in 9ct rose gold, set with a peach Sapphire and three white Diamonds. It is really vintage and great on English skin (pale!).....xxx

I Love Mum

Me & my Mum, proudly on display at EC One under some of my friendship bracelets.

Walking the dog along the River Wey in Godalming

Canal Boat on the River

Happy Mother's Day! London stockist EC One have some really cute I Heart MUM button badges that they have been giving out to customers this week and have also used them throughout the shop. My favourite bit is the photograph of me and my mum in the New Forest, displayed under some of my friendship bracelets in the shop cabinets - I love that picture!

So I have spent the weekend back home in Godalming with my family, today we walked along the River Wey with Maeby the Whippet. It is so beautiful and looks so English, things I never really noticed when I lived here but are so beautiful now. London is brilliant but I am lucky enough to be able to get out of it every so often and smell the countryside. x

I Love Emerald Street

A really nice spot on the Emerald Street mailer this morning. The Anchor & Hope tag necklace is very cool........

It is in lovely soft 9ct yellow gold and the threaded through chain allows it to flip over as you move, revealing whatever side it lands on. I love the way this delicate necklace is actually really visible as it catches the light and eye. Perfect for a bit of daily luxe!

Life Magazine was brilliant.......

America in Pictures: the Story of Life Magazine.

I watched this the other day and really loved it. For my MA dissertation, I wrote about narrative in photography and became really interested in this kind of work. The photographs in Life Magazine are so important to American history and beautifully shot, it's such a shame that it is no longer printed. I really recommend watching this if you missed it!

My Mai Ring

I have just finished a diamond Target ring for a very nice man who was brave enough to embark on the ring choosing himself. He had seen my own engagement ring and liked the 'new' antique style, whereas mine is made with a slightly off white old cut diamonds and 18ct white gold, this time we went for platinum and a brilliant cut white diamond.

Again, the setting allows for a wedding band to sit right next to it. I'm very happy to say that the future Mrs was very pleased with it so the boy dun good! It is such a pleasure to make something with so much meaning for lovely people. (I put it on my little finger to show the difference in colours and how details can change the look of the same thing)

The ring was sent off in a cute little box that makes the ring look massive in this picture but it is actually very sweet and much easier to hide in your trousers!

Mr & Mrs in NYC

It has been ages.

But I have a good reason! I got married, in Central Park, In New York and it was amazing. I have not been to New York for about 12 years and so was desperate to go, so getting married there seemed like a fun thing to do.

The Ladies Pavillion is a lovely cast iron structure on the edge of the boating lake in Central Park, this was where we had our ceremony with a few friends and family (and some random strangers that wandered by!).

I was lucky enough to be able to wear a beautiful dress by London designer Jenny Packham, her dresses blow everything else out of the water. They are so slinky and well constructed with beautiful materials and detailing, anyone would feel a million dollars with one of her creations. My dress is the Marie Louise. Obviously, I had to have the head band too - Acacia 11, this is also brilliant. The whole look was quite 1930's Hollywood which I never planned but loved.

After the ceremony, we went to The Plaza Hotel for champagne in the very posh Rose Bar. Lots of people were taking my photo which was really weird but the hotel is so beautiful. I love the style of New York, the days before, we were in Brooklyn having a beer at the Juliette - this has such a great old look, then you are at the Plaza which is so opulent. They have kept the great design of the early part of the century and not replaced it with plastic.

After that, we ate at Maialino, a Italian restaurant in The Gramercy Park Hotel - gorgeous food and wine, I highly recommend a visit. Then we went up in the lifts to the Gramercy Terrace and sat in plump sofas surrounded by Damien Hirsts whislt drinking them out of Mojitos. I would LOVE to stay in this hotel, the colours and fabrics are so gorgeous, old style with a new twist, just how I like it..

So a very crazy and brilliant day, I feel very lucky. The whole trip (and the h.moon in California) was much needed rest that has given me loads of ideas and inspiration for my jewellery which I can't wait to get started on. It has also made me want to get straight on a plane back to New York..
