Preparations ..... .

Whilst I prepare for re-opening safely there are also some decorative preparations to do too.
Always fun doing a new window display and this is a special one full of celebrations!

I’ll soon announce info on opening guidelines, and the plans I will be putting in place to keep all of you safe whilst visiting the showroom. In the meantime back to behind the scenes activity for me... looking forward to seeing you all soon!
Stay safe and have a lovely weekend everyone.

A little throwback image ... A bit of sparkle for a Saturday morning... And a typical day of a lurchers life! Lucca and I wish you all well and look forward to sharing behind the scenes activity soon... ❤️ #supportyourlocaljeweller #shopfrome #diamonds #18ct #pendant #designergoldsmith #lurchersofinstagram #shopdog #uknaj #handmade #shoplocal #meetthemaker

I am looking out at the morning sunshine reflectin

I am looking out at the morning sunshine reflecting on this momentous day in my career... as I mentioned in yesterdays post today is particularly special.
30 years ago today I started my business!! After studying for 5 years and soaking up the knowledge from several incredible jewellers I jumped in with enthusiasm .... and of a course naive to the real work ahead of me.... I had lots of celebrations planned... fancy window displays, launching a high end raffle with my fellow traders @owl_frome for the amazing @dorothyhousehc champagne truffles for everyone visiting the shop today and the list goes on! But don’t worry it’s just on hold... all the celebrations are still planned and I’m looking forward to sharing them with you... Instead I thought I would have a look at some of my favourite designs... there are so many more to choose from... Mostly with opals of course! As they are my favourite ❤️ A full bio of my 30 year journey will come with the celebrations and I’ll be sharing some special stories too.
For now I’m staying safe at home, remembering my 30 year journey full of hope, love, many challenges, lots of stress of course! But most importantly the beautiful connections of everyone I have created a piece of jewellery for and shared in their celebrations and journeys.... I want to say a HUGE thank you to all my customers for your support and belief in me to create your special piece of jewellery... I always feel so privileged to be asked and love creating every piece❤️ 23 of those years has been spent in Frome. A community I have been incredibly lucky to be part of. I am very proud to run my business in such a supportive town full of wonderful fellow traders and artists. Thank you to you all for the support and love over the years and especially these past 5 years that has been particularly challenging and may have been full of loss but also full of love and kindness from you all ❤️❤️ Thank you and Cheers 🥂🍾 #shopfrome #celebratelife #celebration #designergoldsmith #theindependantshopkeepers #artistsoninstagram #uniquejewellery #fellowartists #community #shoplocal #supportyourlocaljeweller #goldsmithsstories #supportthejewellerytrade

Today I would like to introduce you to a new desig

Today I would like to introduce you to a new design that is very special and dear to my heart!
My beautiful mum was a HUGELY talented and modest professional dressmaker.
She created stunning wedding dresses and ball gowns for so many lucky ladies, my sister and I being the luckiest of course!
Sadly we lost mum a couple of years ago, she was such an enormous influence in everything I did, supporting me in every step of my life through many challenges and my career choices.
Tomorrow I celebrate a milestone in my career (more on that in tomorrows post!) without mum at my side but always in my heart, a few months ago I started designing a pendant (earrings to follow later!) that represents my Mum!
My sister and I grew up amongst the pins, needles and thread while she created what seemed to us as children ... magical dresses! ❤️
So the inspiration for this pendant had to of course be influenced on exactly that…. I have aptly named it ‘Thread of Life’ ❤️
I hope you like it… its not quite ready for sale due to the restraints of current events.
However, I am compiling a list of people interested in knowing more and receiving details of costs etc when I know them myself!
Just message me if you would like to know more.
Have a lovely family day everyone… stay safe and I’ll look forward to hearing your thoughts… do let me know!

Hello everyone.... whilst I’m working safely beh

Hello everyone.... whilst I’m working safely behind the scenes I thought I would take a little coffee break and see what I haven’t shown you yet!

These earrings were so lovely to create as a special gift earlier in the year.... created in #whitegold and set with #rubies
I love going through my photos and being reminded of the pieces I’ve created.
Some very special images and posts to come later this week as I approach a special time for the business! Watch this space.... Love to you all and thank you for all the kind and supportive messages I have received and my fellow #Frome traders. Hugely appreciated!
Stay safe everyone and keep staying at home ❤️ #shopfrome #designerjewellery #handmade #smallbusiness #stayhome #staysafe #wewillbeback #supportsmallbusiness #supportyourlocalbusiness

Good morning everyone... ☀️ I have always felt

Good morning everyone... ☀️ I have always felt very connected and loved having my business in Frome for the past 23 years... our community is very special.
I’m surrounded by wonderful friends and neighbours and reminded by that last night as we all paid our respects to the NHS 👏👏👏 My fellow traders and businesses are also my extended family, HUGE thanks to the generosity of Jason Malone who has created this free website for the town, helping our customers to see how our shops and businesses are trading behind the scenes and how you can get in touch with us.... supporting our customers with a ‘one stop’ website.

Please share and support our many independent business who look forward to welcoming you all when we are able.. Swipe to see a little cheery #pearl #pendant I completed just before I closed, now with its new owner 😊💕 #shopfrome #designergoldsmith #handmade #gold #frome #communitylove

Morning everyone! Here is my early morning inspira

Morning everyone! Here is my early morning inspiration ... The behind the scenes activity is complex but I am putting in place ways to continue working.
Finding the time for all those to do jobs has always been a problem... on my walk today I had the chance to consider the path I am now on with my business and my list is growing... A little cheery picture to say good morning to you ❤️ Be back soon with some lovely sparkle and jewellery designs I haven’t yet shown you! 😊

Stay safe in the meantime and soak up the sunshine from your windows, gardens and safe walks ☀️❤️

A little cheery video for you all to accompany a message that has been so hard to write.

Yesterday I took the painful decision to close my shop door for the time being.
It is undoubtedly a scary time for all and I would like to thank all my customers and fellow traders for their incredible support.
Please be assured my physical shop door may be closed but my business is fully up and running behind the scenes. I shall be continuing with orders and enquiries... I may even finally have the time to get my online shop up and running, finish painting the shop and create some exciting new stock! (Watch this space for one already on its way and to be launched in a couple of weeks!) I’ll be posting regularly with all the behind the scenes activity.
I am very happy to post gifts to you or arrange collection at the shop... following all guidelines with safe distances and jewellery/packaging all cleaned of course.
If you have an order with me I will be in touch with the reassurance of work continuing.
If you need to get in touch please email me, message via my website, here or via my business Facebook page.
As many of you are aware it has been a challenging 5 years for me with personal grief and I have no intention of allowing this next challenge defeat me!
Lucca and I will be back behind the counter to greet you when life finds its way back to a safe place again.... in the meantime ... please get in contact with all your favourite Frome shops, we are here behind the scenes to help and will need your support more than ever ❤️. This is a special town full of love and strength.
Stay safe and enjoy precious time with your families and those you love ... for me it’s the first day of this chapter and it’s good to see the sun shining...! ❤️☀️🌈 #shopfrome #frome #designergoldsmith #supportsmallbusiness #supportyourtown #supportlocalbusiness #loyalty #stcatherinesfrome #theindependantshopkeepers #
