I've been lucky enough to work on a couple of great commissions lately, both using shapes and designs found in my latest range. The Pleated collection is inspired by the angles and folds found in origami and paper sculpting, with shard-like qualities and a hint of Art Deco about it.

The first request was for a pair of silver collar tips. They are made from two peaked segments, which mirror each other in design and are connected by a double strand of chain. It worked out so well and looked so effective that I'll be adding this design to the collection and taking it with me to Made Brighton next month!

I was also asked to make a much more personal piece, based on a couple's love of prisms and the way in which light is refracted through them. Think of 'Dark Side of the Moon' and you'll know what we were aiming for... By all accounts the surprise gift went down a storm, and it was a real pleasure to make a piece that connected my jewellery designs with someone else's vision.

I've finally finished renovating my website and I'm so pleased with it that I feel like celebrating! So, what better way to celebrate my new website than with a discount? Just use the code WEB15 at checkout by midnight on 31st August 2016 to recieve a 15% discount on your order (excluding sale items).

If you're looking to build your own site I highly recommend local Brighton company Create. They have been super helpful throughout the whole process and are all round lovely folks.

I hope you like the new look and find it easy to use, but if you come across any gremlins or need any help just get in touch. 

Warm wishes, Alice
