On a roll

Exciting news! Pebble in Mumbles will be the first to stock our jewellery and our new collection is already on sale. So when you're visiting the farmers market this Saturday, pop up to the shop (top of Newton Road) and have a peek. We chose to approach Pebble because we love this clothing boutique which sells fab recycled bags and Seasalt organic clothing in amongst more mainstream brands. I remember chatting to Ade from Howies last summer about the importance of seeing ethical fashion/accessories as stylish in their own right. Jane at Pebble loved our jewellery for its beachy look and the fact that its a bit greener than mainstream jewellery is just a bonus!

Now for the arty bit -
Our particular inspiration for Summer 2007 has been the ebb and flow of the tide. The lapping sea edge and white froth on the beach which rolls over pebbles and shells. The smoothness of the driftwood and the rare jewels of washed up ‘sea glass’ in turquoise, amber and pale green. Yes, really!

Our first jewellery collection includes fair-trade, recycled glass in blue tones evoking beautiful sea glass. Each glass bead and pendant has been handmade by artisans from Ghana, Africa. These are complimented with vintage faux pearls and natural elements such as wood and shells.

Thanks to Pebble, we are on a 'roll'. Will report back soon, Ella.

P.s. we haven't forgotten about website - its on the way.
