In this week's Look magazine we spotted this pic of Fearne wearing one of our lucky clover necklaces in the gold finish. It looks cute we're sure you'll agree !
Lucky charms are bang on trend at the moment, since fashion is having a charm moment-keys, wishbones, love hearts and lockets as well as of course, our clovers are all in the spotlight.
Wear them layered for an eclectic look (this works well if they are smaller in size) or if they are larger, like our clovers, then they work best as a stand alone piece.

From little acorns mighty oak trees grow
Most of us know that the meaning of this quotation is that great things come from small beginnings. This proverb has been in general use since the 14th Century !
But you might not know that the word acorn doesn't come from 'oak' and 'corn', as is popularly supposed, but from the Old English 'aecern', meaning berry or fruit. Acorns are the nut of the mighty oak tree. They usually contain just one seed and are a symbol of greatness.
The Lacey Oak is a beautiful small to medium sized deciduous shade tree mostly grown in central and south Texas, its leaves are leathery and range from dusky blue to blue-gray to grayish green. Their fall color ranges from pink or peach to gold. Their leaves are quite small in comparison to other oaks This particular oak is grown primarily to protect this unique species.
Our stylish Blowing in the Wind collection features hand picked real leaves, preserved with different finishes. Each leaf is a handcrafted piece of wearable art, unique and totally individual.
If you haven’t seen the leaves, they’re stunningly delicate, but surprisingly robust, and with finishes as varied as Gold, Silver, Brass, Copper, Iridescent and Vintage Silver they can we worn with almost any outfit, both as a dramatic choker, or at a fashionable long necklace length.
They fit in with the current flora and fauna fashion themes popular this Autumn and make a stunning Autumnal window display with plenty of kerb appeal. Our natural wood Point of Sale and branded cotton pouches display the collection beautifully.
Leaves available include Cottonwood, Aspen, Lacey Oak, Birch and the Sugar Canadian Maple in various sizes.

Vintage collection to launch at the NEC...!
Our new vintage collection will debut at the NEC Autumn Fair !
The attraction of vintage jewellery is that it imparts and air of romance and intrigue, so our Vintage collection while unmistakeably feminine, has pieces based on a bold and romantic theme that add a touch of glamour. Full of adorable treasures this diverse collection features necklaces, rings and earrings in a contemporary vintage style.
Our collection starts with simple yet elegant pieces and rises to the occasion with bold, extravagant statement pieces . The perfect embellishment to anything elegant. be it candlelight or velvet ! There’s sparkly marcasite for elegant evenings, and charm collections for everyday wear, as well as some more dramatic pieces.
Each design is inspired by an occasion, and the collection ranges from romantic pieces, to eclectic frippery that’s sure to be noticed. If you’re already a vintage devotee, then you’ll love this dip into the past, from the distant 1920’s flapper style, the 1940’s glamorous leading ladies direct from Hollywood, or even, more recent eras that you can still remember.
Each vintage item is packaged in its own “powder puff” jewellery box, based on original designs from the 1950’s – these boxes are a fabulous talking point.

So don’t miss out, the new lucky four leafed clovers have just arrived to take their place in our Blowing in the Wind collection, and yes, they are real clovers, and yes, someone does have to go out at dawn to pick them and prepare them, so you can see that these little clovers are more than lucky, they’re extra special. Now obviously we can’t guarantee that they’ll make you Ms lucky, but they certainly will tick all the right boxes for style !
