Yorkshire Living Magazine November 2010
This month we are excited to be featured in the November issue of the Yorkshire Living Magazine.
Yorkshire Living is a high quality free magazine which is distributed throughout towns and villages in and around York and North Yorkshire.
Our advert is in the November issue, due out in the next week, and features our fabulous pre-owned Rolex and the numerous benefits of buying pre-owned.
It also introduces our exciting new project – our new flagship store in Harrogate, due to open at the beginning of December.
A Design Challenge
Earlier this month we were approached by a client who had been left a treasured pair of earrings by her mother who very sadly died earlier this year.
With two daughters, her wish was to create two pieces of jewellery that could be given to her daughters as a loving reminder of their beloved grandmother.
The challenge for Chris was to create two pieces of jewellery for two very different personalities. Even the girls’ mother doubted it could be done, as the girls differed hugely in their styles and fashion tastes.
The consultation was in-depth, to say the least. The client even brought in photos of her two girls to highlight their different senses of style.
Chris then designed two very different rings, one in white gold and one in yellow gold. One, quite contemporary (pictured), one more traditional. Each using the diamonds from the original earrings.
Our client viewed the designs and was delighted! They have now gone into production in our workshop and are due to be presented to the girls later this year. We’ll keep the blog updated with how they’re received.
It’s always a challenge designing something to suit an individual personality, particularly if it’s a surprise and they’re not actually involved in the decision-making. However, Chris’ experience and talent as a designer meant that this was yet another roaring success.
