The Button Collection

With Harrogate BCTF now just under two weeks away I am really chuffed with my progress on the button collection. As well as cufflinks the range features five different designs in small stud earrings as well as the addition of skinny rings. All the pieces are now available in gold as well as silver and also have the added option of having coloured thread detailing. 

New Pieces!

With the BCTF looming ever closer I have this week been working on some new pieces. The arrival of some gorgeous new japanese fabrics was just what I needed to get me going. I now have pendants in three different sizes as additions to the fabric collection with photos coming very soon!

Rappie Pie

A small selection of my jewellery, pieces from the Button Collection, can now be found at Rappie Pie, Harborne (Birmingham). Run by Penny Hornsby, her converted terrace house boutique has a beautiful selection of unique jewellery and gifts as well as home furnishing and cards.

The British Craft Trade Fair

This year, with fellow Design Space jewellers, I will be exhibiting at the British Craft Trade Fair in Harrogate. The BCTF has over 500 exhibitor stands and takes place from the 5-7th April. Representing British Designer Makers specialising in giftware, design and craft products, fashion accessories, jewellery, interior design, pottery and glassware, the fair gathers buyers from galleries, independent gift outlets, department stores, interior designers from the UK and overseas.

Ellie Murphy - New Website Launched!

During my time at the shared workshop in the Jewellery Quarter I plan to blog about each jeweller and their work. Now is a good time to start with Ellie Murphy as this week I have been helping her to build and launch her website. 

Ellie graduated from Birmingham City University last June and is currently expanding her collection of diamond inspired pieces. The collection evolved from delicately hand pierced designs, producing minimalist lines that offer a unique contrast to the precision and complexity of real diamonds. Blocks of inlaid cold enamel in vibrant shades work with the metal to achieve striking and contemporary pieces. Her website is now live and can be found here
