Give Tilly a Hand

Comments (1)

A little while ago I received an email out of the blue asking me if I would be willing to make a piece of jewellery to be offered for sale at a charity fund raising auction to be held in September. I was intrigued but naturally a little wary so I contacted the charity direct to enquire as to whether the request was genuine.

I received a reply stating that the person who had contacted me was the manager for the event and yes the request was legitimate.

The charity concerned is the Give Tilly A Hand Appeal (http://www.givetillyahand.com/) so I went to have a read and this is what I found out……

Guild Member Launches New Range

Andrew and the Space Rock

Remember our friend Andrew Geoghegan and his cryptic remark about space rock? Well here it is, chaps – the following from Andrew’s blog:

Well I have harped on about these for long enough saying that we are using a truly ‘Out of This World’ material….. Just back from our incredible photographers are the Celestial Cufflinks with Meteorite and Diamond.

It is not often I have the time to develop blokes jewellery and is there anything more blokey than space rock?

The Meteorites are from Namibia and are called Gibeon. The experts tell me that these rocks fell in a rainfall style and are part Iron, Nickel and Iridium. We have set these fascinating rocks in palladium and framed them with stunning VVS brilliant cut Diamonds.

These rare creations will be exhibited at International Jewellery London at Earls Court from the 5th September to the 8th at the Johnson Matthey stand.

If you are interested in these cufflinks or would want to commission a pair then please get in touch.

Rather nice, eh?

Jewellery that 'tainted' British Museum shop

A contemporary jewellery designer's works that were selling like hot cakes at the British Museum shop have been banned from sale there because they incorporate objects from antiquity.
