TREND WATCH
The SS15 catwalks at London Fashion Week were awash
with statement jewellery; from stacked wristwear and
chunky chokers, to beaded necklaces and daring gemstone
pieces. Featuring clashed bold designs with even bolder
clothes to capture the experimental London aesthetic.
Sixties-style beaded pieces in eye-catching shades of
scarlet, marsala and black took the limelight. With leatherlook bangles taking the gothic look to extreme lengths.
Gemstones played a significant part on the runway with
the arrival of Smokey Quartz, Pearls and rough cut gems
all complimenting bold mixed metals and leather ascents.
Our key fashion tip this season, layer up this summer with
stacked wristwear, chunky chokers and
beaded necklaces –seasonal pieces
you can wear with every outfit!

The
Collector’s
Choice

£27.95
A
methyst is an instantly recognisable gem famed for its
rich purple hues. It is a crystalline member of the quartz
family, containing iron in its chemical composition. The
name amethyst derives from the Greek “a methustos” meaning
“not intoxicated” relating to the ancient belief that an Amethyst
would prevent the wearer from becoming drunk. Throughout
the middle ages Amethysts were highly prized for their colour;
purple being a colour only affordable by aristocracy and royalty.
Amethyst is currently mined in a few localities around the globe
including Mexico, Brazil, Uruguay, Canada, Zambia and South Africa.

Hi all at JM,

gemstones in an organza bag!
I have enjoyed doing crafts on and off
for years including making our wedding
invitations and wine glass charms.
Please note that each scoop is unique
and will differ from the image.
I started having a play with jewellery
making a few years ago with some
beads that a friend was getting rid
off and found that I really enjoyed it,
I even managed to sell a few pieces.
Dear Claire,
Thank you for your letter. We would
like to congratulate you on the arrival
of your new born. In hope that we
I have since started watching JM on
weekends and when I get the chance
during the week in-between looking
after my 18 month old son. I am 7
weeks away from having our daughter
and will more than likely be watching
shows on your YouTube channel during
my sleepless nights doing feeds.
are making your night feeds a little
easier we hope that you have also
picked up some new skills and we
would love to see some of your
brand new creations showcased
in the Wall of Fame some day.
We are going to send you a glorious
Thank you to all your designers that
give me lots of ideas for new projects.
Keep up the good work all at JM.

also keep up the good work.
