Stockists Shout Out
Introducing in more detail my wonderful Stockists both here in the UK and Internationally, who do an awesome job supporting small independent jewellers and brands whilst offering a completely unique boutique style shopping experience to you! And whilst bricks and mortar premises remain currently closed for a little while longer, it’s good to know that all my Stockists are still selling online so here’s a little lowdown on who they are to help wet your appetite…
ELEMENT CONTEMPORARY JEWELLERY
25 Market Street, Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire HX7 6EU
www.elementjewellery.com
Who they are:
Established in 2003, Element has evolved from small beginnings to becoming a destination jewellery boutique nestled in the Yorkshire Valley of truly artistic Hebden Bridge. With a spacious & internationally inspired interior; polished concrete floors, subdued lighting, innovative displays; your visit to Element will be unique and enriched.
What you can expect:
The team are incredibly knowledgeable, this doesn’t just apply to the jewellery they sell but also to their customers. They build long lasting relationships and know what suits their clients tastes and style. This store really shines when it comes to showcasing fresh new contemporary designs.
What has been a big hit for me in this store:
Element have sold a real mixture of my designs, however the one that really sticks out in my mind is a customer who has bought a few necklaces from my original Two For Joy collection featuring magpies, she has become an advent collector!
CLIFTON ROCKS
31 The Mall, Clifton, Bristol BS8 4JG
www.cliftonrocks.co.uk
Who they are:
Clifton Rocks is an independent jewellery boutique & workshop based in the heart of Clifton Village, Bristol. They specialise in contemporary jewellery as well as offering bespoke engagement rings, wedding bands and re-modelling.
The store benefits from an in house team of designers who are all trained jewellers offering a friendly and professional service, and features a constantly changing collection of both local and national contemporary jewellers, one of which is me!
What you can expect:
Clifton Rocks is run by the in-house design team Sammi, Jane, Anny, Chloe, Jacks & Clare Chandler who is also the owner, so you can anticipate expert advice. The shop is cosy and inviting with plenty of contemporary jewellery to catch your eye. They are located in the busy bustle of Clifton, surrounded by other intriguing boutiques, shops and great bars/cafes!
What has been a big hit for me in this store:
It would seem the ladies of Clifton and the surrounding area are big on rings! I have had a few of my bespoke Fairtrade gold gemstone ring designs snapped up here. I offer an adjustment service for rings that may need resizing, which has been a straight-forward procedure with the helpful advice and swift communication from the Clifton Rocks team who have been able to work out what size the client would need with their expert guidance.
PECULIAR VINTAGE
36 Baker Street, Brighton BN1 4JN
www.peculiarvintage.co.uk
Who they are:
Peculiar Vintage founder Stef Warde started off running a well known vintage store called Rokit on Camden Road, along with its little sister Starship, in Stables Market. Her experiences growing up in Asia, then in England during the rave generation amalgamated into a deep interest and love for counter cultures.
Over the years Peculiar Vintage has built a loyal following since Stef opened a studio/shop space on Baker Street, Brighton in 2014. She continues to make her iconic designs as well as featuring an ace selection of capsule collections from Guest Designers, all of which are proudly independent, offering jewellery to Stef’s fab customers that’s 100% handmade!
What you can expect:
Stef and her team certainly know their stuff as experienced jewellers and they describe their customers as independent, spirited, romantic and adventurous – what’s not to love about that! Expect big, bold and creative designs in this store all teamed up with a great deal of knowledge.
What has been a big hit for me in this store:
The more unusual, the better. I tend to send large gemstone rings to Peculiar Vintage for clients who don’t mind stacking multiple rings together and wearing an eclectic mis-match of jewellery all at once. Recently, I have sent a selection of rings from my latest Wedding Ring Collection, ready for those love birds thinking of tying the knot!
RAVEN COLLECTIVE
Who they are:
With a carefully curated selection of fashion and accessories, the Raven Collective brings together brands and designers from across Europe who commit to sustainability and is THE online modern marketplace for Europe’s most stylish sustainable womenswear.
Backed by a team of trend forecasters, sustainability specialists and aesthetic lovers, Founder Martiene Raven takes pride in making it easier than ever for you to build a fashionably elegant and sophisticated wardrobe that lasts longer than one season.
What you can expect:
A collective of rebels against the high-pace mainstream of buying and throwing away. This company does not want to be one that follows the ‘sustainable’ trends. Running at the same velocity and mentality as the majority of the (fast) fashion houses does not interest them. Head to their Online Shop to be inspired by the editors pick of carefully selected brand collections and enjoy your purchasing experience.
Why I love them as a stockist:
Fairtrade and sustainability are two key areas which mean so much to me and my work. It was a real honour when the Raven Collective asked me to become a collaborative label as they too share the same beliefs and work hard to promote sustainability within fashion.
Who they are:
The Immaculate Vegan online store exists to change the perception of vegan fashion from alternative to aspirational.
They have searched the world for the most desirable, innovative designers, carefully curating a sophisticated collection of slow, sustainable fashion and contemporary lifestyle. The store offers outstanding choice with inspiration while supporting a community of pioneering brands, all bound together in a collective mission for change.
What you can expect:
Fabulous contemporary products ranging from an array of colourful clutch bags, to designer Golden Python heeled boots… premium peshtemals in their Spring Homeware Edit, to an epic Mens Range… all 100% cruelty free!
Watch this space!
Soon to be gracing the Ethical & Sustainable Jewellery section… yours truly!
