Harrogate

Its about time I started writing my blog regularly. So I thought I would start with my recent participation at the British Craft Trade Fair in Harrogate. It was my 2nd time exhibiting and it was swarmed with even more jewellers than last year. A couple who I would like to mention, Andrea Thorpe and Clara Breen create beautiful silver and gold jewellery and are very talented designers.
Although the show was more successful for me than last year, it was a lot quiter and buyers were a lot more reluctant to place orders. This confirms my fears that recession is looming which will be tough on new designers trying to build their businesses.
On a brighter note I showcased 2 new collections at Harrogate, 'Rococo Heart' and 'Wild Rose'


'Rococo Heart' comprises of necklaces, dainty stud and drop earrings, and silver & freshwater pearl charm bracelets. They are available in various colours;
Green with aventurine a lush semi-precious stone.
Black with white freshwater pearl.
Purple & turquoise with amethyst.
Rich Red with deep garnets.
Pretty pink with white freshwater pearl.
Yellow with delicate citrine stones.
'Wild Rose' is a very feminine red range with white freshwater pearls.

Im going to be listing them shortly on my Etsy Shop and my online Web Shop
