Don’t forget your Dad This Fathers Day

Fathers Day is such an important day of the year.  He often gets overlooked in the present world, as does he really want another pair of socks, tie or bottle of whiskey?

This year buy him something that he can treasure and wear forever.  Cufflinks are a great idea for a man of any age, and they are becoming far more fashionable, with the increase in shirts with double cuffs.  Cufflinks can be worn to work, or if not for special occasions, and now with the wedding season fast approaching it will be a very appropriate gift.

Treasure Exhibition 2011

Treasure - London Jewellery Week 9th-12th June

This year from 9th-12th June, I will be showcasing at the Treasure exhibition, as part of London Jewellery Week, which is renowned for featuring exciting, contemporary designers.   Its my fourth time to exhibit at this event.

I will be exhibiting all my ranges Plume, Butterfly Effect and Order in Chaos, and will be revealing new pieces in my striking new range Baroque Dream which is influenced by the romantic culture and the elaborate architecture of Barcelona and Havana.  This range creates a statement in its combination of strong contours, reminiscent of ironwork, collaborated with ornately embossed textures and gold flower-accents.

Baroque Dream Ornament Bracelet

The jewellery designs are the height of contemporary fashion, distinctive in their affiliation with traditional techniques and patterns, which are re-worked in new and inspiring forms.  Each entirely different and yet as beautiful as each other, my designs are eye-catching and irresistible pieces.

If you would like to arrange to meet me at the exhibition or for some tickets, please contact me on studio@kimberleyselwood.co.uk

I look forward to seeing you at Victoria House from 9th-12th June

My Year Anniversary on QVC – Where has the time gone?

It has now been a year since I have appeared on QVC with my jewellery designs.  It has been such and enjoyable process and I have met and worked with such wonderful people.  The presenters have been great and they have all been very supportive.

Where has the year gone?  It only seems like yesterday that I appeared, trembling, on set with the lovely Dale, and my Posey Collection.  As customers you have all been so great and said such lovely things about my jewellery, giving many 5 star reviews, which only inspires me more to continue creating lovely things for you.  I have listened to your comments, about what you like and what hasn’t worked for you, to hopefully keep creating new jewellery designs that you will love and treasure.

Within the last year a lot has happened, we have seen more of the lovely Posey Collection sku 681301, which seems to be your favourite!

Heart and Posey Drop earrings QVC

The Pearl and Orchid, the Driftaway 672196, Garland 689089 and the Bloom, also I have many more designs waiting for you.  Personally I got engaged and also became an International jeweler, when I went to exhibit in New York!!  But let me give you a sneak peak at what the next year holds!

I will be launching the new Dragonfly range this month, which I know has been a great hit with the girls at QVC already.  This is an exciting new range, as I know many of you love dragonflies.  In Japan they are symbols of courage, strength, and happiness, and as you know I like to have a symbolic and romantic feel to my jewellery.  They also have an Art Nouveau feel echoing the curves and forms of this era. A mixture of the satin and polished finishes; I think they will be a great addition to people’s jewellery collections as they will work very well for day or evening wear. sku 695993

Silver Dragonfly Drop earrings

I am also very excited about the up coming the range, Nectar, containing Humming Birds and flowers sku 695997.  The Humming bird representing love, joy, and beauty, such a great start for designs!! And the Purity collection based on Calla lilies, with seed pearls.

Hummingbird and Flower silver ring

I hope I have wetted your appetite and look forward to hearing from you soon.
