The Mother of all Gifts: Mothers’ Day presents from your Local Independent Jeweller

As much as we love our Mums, they’re often taken for granted. It’s time, therefore, to show them how much we love them this Mothers’ Day: visit your local independent jeweller for a gift that’s unique, special, and above all, filled with love!

Kit Heath Jewellery
At the top of any mother’s gift wish list should be a piece of Kit Heath Jewellery. This British jewellery designer’s work has become one of the most recognised sterling silver jewellery brands in the UK, and with 25 years’ worth of experience, the range is versatile enough to offer gifts for young yummy mummies through to doting grandmothers. Ask your local independent jeweller for advice on Kit Heath Jewellery; we guarantee it will offer something for every female member of the family this Mothers’ Day.

Give the gift of time
A watch from your local jeweller is the perfect present for Mothers’ Day – practical enough to be a piece of jewellery worn every day by busy mums, yet feminine and pretty enough to satisfy every woman’s desire for gorgeous jewellery. Your local jewellery shop will be able to offer a range of watches, from gold and silver to stainless steel, metal plated, or even diamond set – and an array of straps to match too! If you’re bowled over by the amount of choice on offer, just pop down to your local jewellery shop; your local jeweller will be happy to advise on what would suit your Mum’s taste.

Bring an old piece of jewellery back to life
If you don’t want to buy your Mum something completely new, but rather fancy having one of her old pieces fixed instead, why not ask your local independent jeweller about their jewellery repair services? Maybe she’s stopped wearing a favourite bracelet because the clasp has broken, or perhaps she has an heirloom inherited from her own mother that just needs resetting or restoring; whatever the case, you can rest assured that if you surprise your Mum by bringing a treasured piece of jewellery back to life for her, by using the repair service in your local jewellery shop, the item will be repaired on site – and therefore there will be no risk to your Mum’s jewellery.

Giftware
And don’t forget that your local independent jeweller will also offer giftware too; from clocks to photo frames, and even collectable porcelain figures, your local jewellery shop really will offer something for every type of Mum this Mother’s Day!

Kit Heath 2012

Kit Heath Jewellery always has been, and always will be, exciting, but this is never truer than when his new season pieces are launched. Well, guess what? It’s that time of year when your local independent jeweller will be stocking their display cases with all of Kit’s new goodies! Read on to find out what’s new when it comes to Kit Heath Jewellery in 2012:

The Beachcomber Range
The ever popular Beachcomber range continues to go from strength to strength in 2012. Inspired by nature, new additions to the charm bead range include the Celest Pebble Bead, which takes its inspiration from celestial summer skies, and the Vine Pebble Bead, which conjures up twisting vines reaching towards the Mediterranean sunshine. There are also sleek 18 carat gold additions to the range, such as the Gold Orbit Pebble Bead which is encrusted with an orbit of cubic zirconia, and many more besides. If the choice is leaving you a little overwhelmed, ask your local Kit Heath stockist for advice on which beads will work well together and which will suit the tastes of the wearer.

New Wrist Wear
Bracelets feature heavily in the new Kit Heath collection, and your local jewellery shop will be stocking a variety of different styles from the various ranges this year. We see some of Kit’s wrist wear turn quite fine and delicate this year, from the sterling silver Mini Honeycomb Cluster Bracelet (fine strands of silver creating different sized swirls), through to the Sterling Silver Gypsy Rose Bracelet (inspired by a bunch of English Roses to give a bohemian feel). However, if chunkier jewellery is more your thing, fear not, as your local independent jeweller will also be able to help with this request: the Kit Heath range also features the Sterling Silver English Rose Cord Bracelet and the Sterling Silver Honeycomb Cluster Cuff – both of which will have a substantial look and feel on your wrist.

Matching Pieces
Don’t forget that your local independent jeweller will also be able to find you matching necklaces and earrings from the Kit Heath range; how about the swirling Sterling Silver Honeycomb Cluster Necklace? Or the Sterling Silver English Rose and Pearl Circle Necklace? Both of these pieces have counterpart earrings and are designed to match both the wrist wear and ring ranges. And if you prefer gold jewellery, ask your local jeweller about the new matching gold pieces, such as the 18ct Gold Plated English Rose stud earrings and matching 18ct Gold Plated English Rose Ring.

Whatever you’re looking for in 2012, you can’t go wrong with a piece from the Kit Heath collection. Stunningly unique, beautifully feminine and wonderfully original, ask your local jeweller for their advice on what pieces will suit your look in 2012.

Spring is on the Horizon!

As we start to emerge from these long winter days, it’s time to spring into action and spruce up our wardrobe with fresh new accessories. There’s no better way of making ourselves feel like spring is on the horizon than by embracing the new jewellery trends for spring 2012; here’s a guide to the big jewellery trends, all available from your local independent jeweller, this spring:

Arm Candy
Jewellery this spring will be all about bangles, bracelets and cuffs – and moreover, the layering of wrist wear together will be a huge trend this year. Ask your local jeweller for advice on chunky cuffs, strings of fine bracelets worn as an ensemble and ethnic-inspired bangles, worn to jangle as you move! The charm bracelet continues to go from strength to strength, and your local independent jeweller will be able to talk you through the different ranges of charm bracelet on offer.

Vintage Glitz
Vintage inspired side tiaras and hairpieces continue to go from strength to strength in spring 2012. Whether you’re a blushing bride looking for a beautiful piece to sparkle in your hair on your big day, or you’re just after an interesting headpiece to jazz up an everyday outfit, don’t forget that your local independent jeweller will also be able to help with tiaras and hairpieces as well as traditional jewellery.

Statement Pieces
2012 is not for the shy and retiring on the jewellery front; your local jewellery shop will be stocking plenty of statement pieces this spring, including large, hammered metal necklaces and pieces using patterned beads. Jewellery will be channelling the theme of architecture and working with the ideas of line and form. Furthermore, layers of necklaces will also be important – why not ask your local jeweller for advice on which chains will work well together? Bold and beautiful, statement pieces will add excitement and vibrancy to even the plainest of outfits!

Ladylike Dressing
Feminine, traditional jewellery is also expected to make a comeback in the spring of 2012, proving that we are in for a year of sharp contrast as these pieces distinguish themselves from the statement pieces also on offer. Your local jewellery shop will be offering lots of retro pieces, including beads and pearls with a distinct vintage, 1950’s feel.

Whatever your taste, the jewellery trends of spring 2012 will be able to fulfil it, and what’s more, your local independent jeweller will be able to fulfil your spring 2012 jewellery trend needs! On the ball and bang on trend, take a trip to your local jewellery shop today to prepare your wardrobe – after all, spring is on the horizon!
