Myself and my jewellery were involved in a photo shoot with a film noir/vintage theme and the outcome was totally stunning!

Bellow is the article and some more pictures from the day.

Harwick Hall Hotel was the location for the photo shoot.

The amazing Jamie Emerson and Mandy Charlton were the photographers for the day. And the very talented Steve from Forever Film was videoing the day.

Our hair was transformed by Lisa Cameron and Leeanne Bennett gave us movie star make up.

The gowns and some of the accessories were provided by the lovely Joy from Mia Sposa Bridal and Menswear and other accessories by me - By Gina Jewellery.

The stunningly beautiful models for the day were Julia from Brides Up North, Kristy from Simply Bows and Chair Covers, Kerry from Daisychain Events and little old me!

I hope you love the film and photos as much as I loved being part of the day and I highly recommend all the suppliers involved!

I was wondering what does a jewellery designer blog about??? Apart from new designs that is…..

Well, Swarovski crystals! We were having a discussion about this the other week on Twitter and it seems that some people are very passionate about the subject……clear crystal or AB??? I must admit that the discussion was mainly between jewellery makers. So I know I will have just lost some of you by now….AB stands for Aurora Borealis as the crystals give off the colours of the Northern Lights.

I love AB crystals, I think they give a lot of depth to a design but I always mix them in with clear. I know others hate them.

I have been getting a lot of orders in lately for products just using clear crystals, which is what has prompted this blog. Do people not like AB, or do they just not know what it means???

So, I would love you  to tell me what you think as jewellery designers and as buyers! What do you know about AB or Clear crystals??? Please help me get a getter understanding of today’s market x
