Global Wedding Awards 2018

Page 80 www.lux-review.com LUX 2018 Global Wedding Awards Please tell me about your firm, the work you do and the types of clients with whom you work. I have devoted my life to creating beautiful bespoke contemporary handmade quality jewellery designs - and I am continually inspired that people love to wear them. I am so lucky to work for some amazing clients. I operate from a studio in Barlaston, Stoke-on- Trent and this is where I create beautiful unique jewellery from glass, gems, diamonds and precious metals. I am continually inspired by ancient Britain’s timeless beauty and I currently have four collections in the product range at this time. The unique selling point of my designs is that each jewel is individually designed and handcrafted, so that each collection and piece is completely individual.

The typical Hailstones customer is confident, outgoing, bold, and discerning and enjoy creations that are 'as individual as you are'. My clients, in the main, have a natural attraction to art, history and colour - and an eye for beautiful objects. They always love to dress up and look good - and have impeccable grooming. Specifically, within the wedding market, what services do you provide?

Tie slides, cufflinks, earrings and rings are just some of the unique gifts and products on offer - and, of course, these handmade quality gifts will hold long-lasting memories. These can be bought from one of my collections, which are in the website shop, or if something special is required, then I can be contacted by email or telephone for a personal commission. Any personal commissions can be engraved and personalised with dates and initials and colour co-ordinated to any wedding theme. They are all handmade by me. I love to design special creations for people on their special day. It is very rewarding to
