What have been your best-selling
pieces of bridal jewellery for 2012, and have any of
your designs sold beyond expectations?
The Vintage Lace collection has been popular, along
with the Vintage Petite line, which is made with tiny
carved mother of pearl buttons – some of which are up
to 100 years old. Both ranges are made by upcycling old
haberdashery, and then hand-stitched with fine silver
wire, adding a delicate lace effect to the pieces. They are
embellished with tiny freshwater pearls or mother of
pearl drops, for an elegant finish.
What can retailers expect from your 2013 bridal
jewellery collection?
I will be sourcing more old lace to work with, which
will influence the development of new pieces within the
Vintage Lace collection. I will also be exploring elegant
chandelier style earrings with pearl or crystal drops and
asymmetrical necklaces with multiple draped chains.

What have been your best-selling pieces
of bridal jewellery, and have any of your
designs sold beyond expectations?
My two best-selling jewellery sets of
this year so far have been the Angel and
Shimmer sets, with Shimmer selling
beyond my expectations. This set has proven to be successful
with brides themselves, as well as being a popular choice as a
bridesmaids’ gift. I think that the reason for this is because it is
such a delicate classic design that can be worn again and again.
What do you think will be the main influences on bridal
jewellery design for spring/summer 2013?
I think we’ll continue to see a mixture of delicate pieces that will
work well with statement headpieces, as well as some statement
cuffs and necklaces for those brides opting for more minimal
hair accessories.

What have been your best-selling pieces of
bridal jewellery, and have any of your designs
sold beyond expectations?
One of our best-selling pieces for 2012 has
been the Elegance necklace, which is made from
Swarovski pearls and crystal rondelles. It’s a very
classic design, and nearly every order contains at
least one piece. I have lost track of how many of
these we’ve made, but it’s been a lot! Other good
sellers at the moment are the stunning Wild
Hearts and our latest range of pendants.
What can retailers expect from your 2013 bridal
jewellery collection?
Our 2013 collection will feature some classic
designs as well as some real statement pieces,
which are quite different from anything we’ve
designed to date. Retailers can also expect the
same high quality finishes we are known for at a
competitive price, all hand-made in Britain.
