…a few bobby dazzlers!

I’ve been busily adding new diamond set pieces to the website, all are available NOW!

Any pieces can be commissioned with an alternative stone – although you can’t argue with a timeless and beautiful white diamond – or 15 as in the neckpiece below…

 

 

  

And also some blue diamonds…such a pretty shade

More coming very soon!

Unique Gem Set Pieces

I have put on a few unique gem set pieces on the website. These are not available in the shops so if you want them, grab them whilst they’re there!

There is an Isis Pendant set with a pretty green peridot

 

or set with a beautiful citrine

 

and some stunningly dramatic earrings to match.

Just click on the photos or here for more details.

And if you’d like any of this range set with a stone of your choice then just let me know. You could commission your very own unique piece.

Catwalk Photos

I just wanted to share the pictures from The Jewellery Show at the NEC last week. It was a very successful show despite the weather doing it’s best to keep everyone a bay!

The catwalk show was really great fun and very exciting to be part of. I was a bundle of nerves before my jewellery was due on but I hope you’ll agree that Niki looked completely fabulous in the Shimmer Neckpiece. Thanks so much to Rah and The Jewellery Show for doing such a great job

 

I’m back in the workshop every day now so get in touch if you would like any further info on new collections. Catalogues are ready and waiting for trade customers if you’d like one and the website will be fully updated soon.

Have a great weekend all!

Spring Fair and New Collections

A rather belated Happy New Year to you! It’s been a really busy start to 2012 for me, so here is just a quick update!

I’ve busy designing two brand new collections, Isis and Grace. They will be added to the website properly very soon, please bear with me, but in the meantime here are a few shots to give you a taste.

 

All pieces are sterling silver with the addition on 22ct gold vermeil.

So if you are a stockist or would like to be, just let me know and I can send a catalogue out to you, or even better, pop by and see me at The Jewellery Show at the Spring Fair on stand DQ11 but don’t forget to register here first.

Bye for now!

 

 

Christmas Exhibitions

As Christmas zooms closer at an alarming rate, and the nights are getting darker and longer, I thought I should just let you all know about the exhibitions that I am taking part it over the festive season to bring some cheer and sparkle!

‘Alchemy’ is at the Leeds Craft and Design Centre and is their annual showcase of twelve jewellery designers, running from the 5th November to 14th January

At the RBSA in St Paul’s in Birmingham I am taking part in the ‘Electric’ exhibition which runs from now until the 13th January

“The RBSA Craft Gallery’s festive exhibition is guaranteed to be electric! On show are a selection of the nation’s most celebrated designer makers who are exhibiting their latest collections of contemporary silver and gold jewellery, alongside ceramics and silverware. Why not also take the opportunity to find your special someone a unique, hand-made gift this Christmas from the RBSA Craft Gallery…?”

And last but not least I have been chosen to be a ‘star’ in ‘Glitz – a glamorous Christmas showcase’ at Kath Libbert Jewellery Gallery Saltaire. which opens on the 17th November and runs to 29th January.  Alongside this there is also an exhibition called Traces : Rust, Dust & Belly Button Fluff – Ten New Graduates Finding Beauty in Hidden Places, so there will be a whole range of exciting and interesting designers.

All of them are fabulous galleries and it’s a great opportunity (not only to get Christmas pressies) but to see some beautiful design and craftsmanship from a whole variety of makers of jewellery and also other crafts. I hope I get chance to visit them myself, but at the moment it’s long hours in the workshop for me!

Don’t forget that there are also stockists of Kokkino Jewellery throughout the country, further afield and online.  So just check here, or contact me for your closest stockist (the list will be updated as regularly as possible) or for any queries.

Goldsmiths’ Fair

Phew, so I’m finally ready! I think!

I finished the final pieces of jewellery today, including some special diamond set pieces in the Target and Mandala Collections, and I also have ready Target stud earrings in a whole host of  vitreous enamel colours as they were such an amazing success last year.

All the details of how to get to the show are on the website here along with details of all of the exhibitors

The show is open Tuesday 4th October – Sunday 9th October from 11am – 7pm

Here’s hoping for an exciting and successful show.

Hope to see you there!
