Berlin

In 2013 we were lucky enough to visit some great European cities and we were so inspired that we have decided to launch some new skyline products to celebrate these lovely places!

In November Sarah visited Berlin. "Having lived there for some time it was great to re-visit old friends, pop into my favourite cafes and pick up a vintage bargain (or two!) at one of the city's renowned flea markets. Here are some photos from my trip and our new Berlin inspired skyline products!"

Berlin skyline designs are now available to buy online as cufflinks or as a keyring. If you have been anywhere great and would like to remember your trip with one of our skyline products, just let us know and we will see what we can do! Happy travels everyone!

Michael & Rebecca

Firstly a very Happy New Year to everyone! We are sorry that things went so quiet for the month of December, it was anything but quiet here in our busy studio and we were delighted with all of the Christmas orders.

We had an overwhelming number of proposals in the month of December, with lots of people choosing to pop the question with one of our personalised love letter necklaces. One such thoughtful man was Michael who proposed to his beautiful fiancé Rebecca just before Christmas.

"It was our 4 year anniversary so the present was a gift with a little extra. She was completely taken by surprise and hasn't taken the necklace off since. I arranged for our closest friends and family to meet us for surprise celebratory drinks and we partied in to the early hours. Thank you again for all your help in making it a special day. Michael"

We would like to wish Michael and Rebecca all the very best for their future together, and congratulate Rebecca for choosing a man with such exquisite jewellery taste!

Our TV Debut on BBC News

What a week it has been here in the studio (and it's only Wednesday!), following the exciting news that David Cameron wore our cufflinks, Maria and the team were asked by BBC South East Today to be involved in a short documentary on the story. Here are a few photographs of our TV debut!

    And a few behind the scenes...

Why Mr. Prime Minister what lovely cufflinks you are wearing...(!)

Having lost a bet with the New Zealand Prime Minister on an England vs All Blacks rugby match, David Cameron promised that if England lost, he would donate to charity and also wear a pair of Kiwi cufflinks to the House of Commons. We made him a custom pair and here he is wearing them! We also created Union Jack cufflinks for the UK PM to send to his NZ counterpart the next time England beat the All Blacks.

Here we are getting the cufflinks ready - 

Both our Kiwi and Union Jack cufflinks are now available to buy on our website in sterling silver for £50 per pair, they will arrive beautifully gift wrapped in a lovely antique style box. Visit our website!
