Pandora Millie Bobby Brown Charms Launch

Back in November I was the very lucky plus1 to Sim (from Simslife) at a launch event for Pandora. You might not instantly associate me with Pandora, and it's true I'm not the girliest girl, but I do really like a bit of sparkle and it was a really excellent night out.

We were there to see the brand new range of charms created by Millie Bobby Brown, the young starring actress from Stranger Things. My earrings only arrived just before Christmas, and as I knew there were queues out of the door at most Pandora branches, there didn't seem a lot of point rushing to tell you about them. But if you happened to be the lucky recipient of vouchers under your tree - they've a Winter Sale on now...

The launch evening was held at The Ivy in Manchester and it was my first visit. Wow. It's exactly as you'd expect, but with the added bonus of awesome bathrooms and the most amazing waistcoats. The staff themselves, who were impeccable, really made the difference. They were so friendly! I expected politeness, charm and to be well-looked after, but they were also the nicest, smiliest bunch of people too.

Pia - Gemstone Jewellery Collection for Mother's Day review.

According to their website, Pia jewellery collections reflect their passion for creativity and originality, and I think they're probably right. They sell original gold and silver jewellery and accessories from all over the world, each piece intended to be a timeless classic. A gift from Pia is intended to be a treasure that will truly last.

I've been sent a Blue Topaz Gemstone Collection to review. I chose this set as it's my birthstone and I really do love delicate silver jewellery. I was sent the Blue Topaz Gemstone Pendant, Three Drop Earrings and Three Rounds Bracelet. There are more than 35 other pieces on offer with blue topaz alone, so the choice across the website is very wide.

Cley Designs £50 Jewellery Voucher Giveaway

We recently reviewed a gorgeous handmade necklace from Cley Designs, which is personalised and will be given to my daughter on her birthday. They make gorgeous bespoke jewellery, and not only add letters and numbers, but also your own footprints, handprints and even fingerprints, to create a really precious gift with a lot of meaning.

Cley Designs make every item in the UK by hand, and personalisation is to order, but our necklace arrived less than a week after ordering. You can read my full Cley Designs Jewellery Review here...

Guru Company Personalised Handmade Jewellery Review

Guru Company (formerly Cley Designs) are a small UK company making unique, handmade, personalised gifts. They specialise in personalised jewellery and keepsakes, including text, fingerprints, handprints and footprints. Treasures to keep forever....

I was offered a review, and I actually let my teenage daughter's boyfriend choose her something for her upcoming birthday - so she hasn't seen it yet! He chose this gorgeous and fairly delicate personalised Mini Heart Necklace with her name on. It arrived really quickly, within a week, nicely presented in a gift box.

Inside the gift box the necklace was carefully wrapped in very pretty tissue with silver hearts. It felt very special opening it, and I've rewrapped it with care, so that she will also get that special newness too.

Kaya Jewellery Review and Discount Code - Meaningful Jewellery For Mums (and their children).

Kaya Jewellery sell 'Meaningful Jewellery For Baby, Child And Mum'. A company founded by Dutch Mum Tanja, Kaya specialises in personalised jewellery gifts, including gifts for mothers and daughters, and everything is handmade in the UK.  I really couldn't have said no when they asked me if I wanted to choose something from their website to review for Mother's Day.

The website is incredibly easy to navigate, products are split into really useful, clear categories, and often the same items appear on several pages, which better is much than having to search for something you spotted a while ago and can't find again.
