Buying Handmade Fashion Jewellery

January 20th, 2010 Designer Jewellery No comments

This is the year that Chanel celebrates its 50th anniversary of the Novella which distinguished the fashion jewellery brand across the globe. So fifty years on in a world where diamante is the new diamond is there still room for a little blue box in our lives? Or is this now the world of fashion jewellery. As the credit crunch blocks your way to Cartier and the expensive jewellery’s you have no choice but to look for viable alternatives and fashion jewellery is fast becoming one of them. Dating back to the early1700’s fashion jewellery has been a part of fashion culture for more than 300 years, providing an inexpensive but beautiful substitute to fine jewellery through the use of materials such as simulated semi-precious beads and pendants.Coco Channel in her collections often featured fashion jewellery; she helped to reinvent its purpose as an investment to a fashion accessory.Replacing gold with gold plated and pearl with pearl effect beads the crime of going ‘fake’ has never been more accepted, and for what fashion jewellery lacks in precious materials, it makes up for in the unique and original designs. Most notably it is the outstanding designer Kenneth Jay Lane who, since the early 1960’s been creating unique and original piece for the likes of Audrey Hepburn, that has led the way in breaking free from the conventional restrictions when it comes to fashion jewellery design. Leaving chandelier earrings behind in favour of proportion defying necklaces and turquoise embellished cuffs. But possibly more excitingly is the wide range of fashion jewellery that is now available to us on the high street. Affordable, stylish, designer and attention grabbing jewellery, from Accessorize’s cocktail rings, beaded necklaces, semi-precious bracelets and earrings and charm bracelets dripping in bright and beautiful beads to Urban Outfitters kitsch pendant and cluster necklaces, fashion jewellry has become a statement of our own individuality.And in this quest to find unique pieces of fashion jewellery that are original, it is individual online boutiques that offer one of a kind and limited designs. Up and coming jewellery designers, often students from the likes of Parsons school of design and Central Saint Martin’s are swapping mass production for handmade and individually sourced handmade jewellery and selling it online. Offering handmade fashion jewellery connoisseurs a chance to not only buy a one of a kind piece but to invest in the future of jewellery design.Local Art and craft fairs are also a great place to be able to find stunning pieces of handmade jewellery that have been handcrafted into stunning pieces of fashion jewellery. If you are looking for something that is totally unique then this is where you may find what you are looking for. Also these jewellery designers may be able to make you something where you have a hand in the design so that you can have a fashion jewellery piece that has been handmade to suit exactly what you are looking for. Whichever you to choose have fun.

Designer Watches â?? Fashionable Timepieces For A Reasonable Price

January 18th, 2010 Designer Jewellery No comments

Designer watches are a relatively new phenomenon. Of course, everyone is familiar with the famous watchmakers such as Rolex, Cartier and Patek Phillippe, but realistically, how many people can afford to spend £5000 or more on a watch? Maybe if you win the lottery, but otherwise they are out of reach for the normal person,Thus, seeing a gap in the market, leading designers added watches to their armoury of fashion accessories. Nowadays, anyone who wants to make a fashion statement has a designer watch. Fashion conscious people have latched on to designer watches in a huge way, and they now form an essential part of any outfit. As a result, it is now not uncommon for people to have several different types of watch, to suit all occasions.There are a wide variety of designer watches available. Some are very sporty, and appeal to those people who live a very active life, and wish portray that in the kind of watch that they wear. Others prefer a more understated watch, with a simple face and strap â?? simple, functional and unflashy â?? perhaps describing t he characteristics of the person who is wearing such a watch? And then there are a whole host of dress watches, very sleek, sophisticated timepieces which are usually worn in the evenings, for special events, or perhaps a date to impress the person they are with.But how does the quality of these designer watches compare to such Swiss watchmakers, such as Rolex? Well, letâ??s be honest, when you are buying a watch for £50 or £75, the quality is not going to match up to a Rolex which costs upwards of £5,000. That said, however, the quality of the vast majority of designer watches is very high. All designer watches come with a manufacturerâ??s guarantee, so that if anything goes wrong with the watch within a certain time frame, you can return it for a replacement, or arrange for the watch to be fixed. And the materials are generally of a very high standard as well â?? good quality leather straps, accurate and well made time pieces, and overall high levels of workmanship. This is not really very surprising. Most designers have made their name by creating high quality, well made products, be it jeans, suits, trousers, shirts, or even underwear! Thus anything that they turn their hand to will be of a high quality. And of course they have their reputation to consider â?? if they started to produce sub-standard products, this would tarnish their reputation of all of their products, and this would have a serious and detrimental effect on their business.So, in conclusion, buying designer watches is highly recommended â?? you get a well made, high quality product, and at the same time, you get to look good! In terms of where to buy designer watches, my advice would be to do your research on what type of designer watch suits you best, then to shop around to find the best price, and you can usually find the best prices on the internet.

A New Affordable Jewellery shopping experience for the fashion-conscious

January 1st, 2010 Designer Jewellery No comments

Jewellery Shop Online is a flourishing Irish-based costume and designer jewellery store. As the name suggests, the difference here to the usual pricey High Street jewellery shops is that all their elegant goods can be viewed via the internet from the comfort of your own home. The website is highly appealing with a very professional and modern layout. The business was set up and developed by Susan Salkeld, who has a keen interest in ladies fashions. The online jewellery store is based in Dublin but delivers to all of Ireland, as well as catering for regular customers across Europe and even farther afield.

Susan explains the concept and philosophy behind her growing venture, “Having often purchased designer clothes and footwear myself from worldwide internet shops, I realised that the necessary accessories were not so readily available online. I found this odd because items such as costume jewellery and bags are not as bulky as clothing and shoes [for delivery] which now sell extremely well over the internet. After chatting with a few jewellery designers, I decided that I could provide a service to introduce and supply beautiful, modern pieces of jewellery which compliment today’s fashions.”

“At Jewellery Shop Online we want to bring variety, colour and glamour to the jewellery accessory market. There’s a real wow-factor about most of the items we offer, especially when actually seen and handled. But we also hope our affordable prices bring an extra smile when the buyer realises how much cash they’ve saved by browsing around our shop.”

Susan personally vetted high-quality suppliers from around the globe and then selected the extensive range of stunning products on display. Notable collections include:

Krystal London -Krystal are recognised as the leading designers and manufacturers of exquisite designer jewellery using only the highest grade Swarovski Crystals. They are universally renowned for their high quality pieces and attention to detail. Huge dangling chandelier earrings, crystal shower necklaces and cuffs are just some of the pieces you can view in this collection. Everything in Krystal’s display is designed by Kish Vasa who has over 20 years of experience, thus guaranteeing exceptional and unique designs.

Lola Rose – In their section, you find examples of some of the most beautiful semi-precious jewellery on offer today. You will be dazzled by creations in an array of stunning and unusual colours. Susan has called upon the services of Lola Rose’s leading modern jewellery creator, the highly-talented Nicola Gewirtz, to offer pieces which catch the eye with great effect.

The Silver Collection – For fans of silver jewellery, Susan has hand-picked a great range of desirable items which will “set off” your outfit, regardless of the occasion. From beautiful dress rings and classical necklaces to stylish cuff bangles and bracelets, Jewellery Shop Online doesn’t disappoint in silverwear accessories. The website is proud to boast that all its silver goods are hallmarked after passing the most rigorous of inspections at The Assay Office in Dublin Castle.

Rhinestone Crystal Jewellery – For that special occasion, Susan’s e-commerce shop can provide those important finishing touches to a memorable outfit; sparkling rhinestone crystal chokers, co-ordinated earring & necklace sets, tiaras, etc. Some items have been selected with weddings in mind, but the more understated designs are perfect to add class and sophistication to evening and party wear.

Jewellery Shop Online has a fabulously large selection of general designs featuring semi-precious stones which originate from all corners of the world. In some cases, the ethnic origins of the pieces come to the fore, literally in their shape, weight and highly attractive but rare colours. Other creations follow more traditional, antique styles but here the nicest surprise comes by way of their pricing which would suit anyone’s pocket even in these hard times.

Susan knows that fashion-conscious women must spend their hard earned money wisely. As she points out, “We have done thorough research regarding our jewellery pricing structure and our aim is to offer the lowest possible prices for all our jewellery lines. Our designer jewellery is on average 15% lower than anything like its equivalent in trendy department stores in Ireland. Our prices start as low as €8; in fact most of our stock cost less than €100 per item and we don’t retail anything valued over €300. We wanted to offer our customers something different that was affordable, so that we ladies can occasionally spoil ourselves without feeling guilty.”

The beauty about buying online apart from the obvious – trying to find time in our busy lives to take a day out to walk around various shops, sitting in traffic jams, parking problems, queuing at tills, etc – is that the prices are often much less than buying in the High Street shops. Susan confirms that this is mainly due to the online retailer not having to pay rent on display premises, and the  saving in overheads is then passed on to the customer. Many people these days prefer to do their shopping via a convenient laptop or PC, and then have the ordered items delivered right to their front door. Susan sees no reason why shopping for good quality jewellery cannot follow this increasing trend.

Jewellery Shop Online imports its stocklist from countries all over the world. By doing so, they capture many exotic and gorgeous styles influenced by the different cultures they trade with. Susan hopes to bring both quality and variety to Irishwomen, and we cannot argue with her aspirations in the costume jewellery field. Already she is able to boast, “Currently we have two major designers on board but I’m hoping to have another three by the end of the year. It’s important to change stock and styles on a seasonal basis.”

‘Customer-care’ is also another of Susan’s buzzwords. She knows through her own online shopping experiences that the development of trust and good relationships with apparently faceless retailers is vital. “We always make sure we respond to any queries as quickly and efficiently as possible”, she remarks. “We also encourage feedback or requests – if a customer would like to see more items of a particular design or they are looking for a very special item of jewellery, then we will try our utmost to accommodate them”.

When asked to sum up why she seems to have limitless enthusiasm for her business, Susan answers effortlessly, hardly pausing for breath. “Since an early age I have always had a passion for beautiful jewellery whether it is fashion, costume or designer. I am realising my dream of supplying beautiful jewellery to ladies everywhere at prices they can afford. It makes my job such a pleasure. Jewellery is glamorous and fun – as it should be.”
