Well Christmas is sadly over, it seemed to go in a blur! I had a great time with family and spoiling my little one, which was such a pleasure. It was my busiest Christmas yet with orders coming in and going out in record time, which is really fantastic and thank you to all who supported me. I learnt a lot and made some mistakes (all rectified thankfully), so this next year will be even better.  So its a New Year and New Plans!

Christmas Time in My house. More than one angel on the tree!

I had some really amazing feedback, which is so lovely, as I know its busy for everyone so its great to know people took the time to say thank you and how lovely my jewellery was!

Dear Kimberley,

My order arrived yesterday and I just want to say how beautiful the cufflinks are. Thank you so much. They are also so beautifully wrapped. So glad I ordered them.

Hi Kimberley.
I received my husbands Christmas present today from you and just had to message you privately. It is so so beautiful and presented in the best possible way. Thank you so much, i love it and i’m sure the other half will as well.
Thanks from a very happy customer xx

It really touched me that people have said these things, as it’s all to easy to focus on the negative.

So here we are 2016, and I think we should focus on the positive. Its all so easy to get the January blues with the weather all drab and grey and no money in the bank. But I am using the time to plan and create some new ranges.

With the huge success of the ‘A wish from me’ collection I will be creating necklaces and earrings to compliment the range, and possibly some more sayings, so look out for those.

Also the Rugged Leather Collection was extremely popular, so I will be adding more men’s jewellery and cufflinks to the site

I also have a range of personalized pendants, which I need to finalise some designs, so that will be later on in the year.

I have also got some commissions for engagement, eternity and wedding rings to get under way, so for me it’s going to be busy.

I’m also hoping to get a lot more press coverage and increase my Celebrity wearers; already on the list are Cate Blanchett, Sir Ian McKellen, Jarvis Cocker, Allen Leech and Chitwetel Ejiofor! I will be looking into teaching jewellery classes and doing more events, so I think were safe to say I will have my hands full this year.

Please keep supporting me and give me any suggestions on the type of jewellery you might like me to design, and lets have a very happy 2016!
