Clutch and Clasp

We continue to offer a wide selection of Limited Edition as well as one-off pieces. These continue to be amongst our best selling pieces each month as it is rare to find limited edition jewellery below hundreds of pounds. Our best selling Limited Edition piece currently is the Blue Murano Glass Heart with Swarovski Crystals, with a price of £39.95. This has been in our top ten best sellers each week since it’s launch in April. It is a stunning piece made from a exceptional colour of blue murano glass.

Tomorrow will see the start of June and we will be launching our new monthly promotions. We will be promoting a selection of our Limited Edition Pieces in time for Summer.

After many requests we now have amethyst earrings in stock. Amethyst has always been one of the most popular semi-precious stones, possibly due to it’s colour and depth. These earrings are very pretty and are placed within the new under £10 category, selling at £9.95.

So far this month’s promotions have been received very well. The most popular by far has been the exceptionally pretty puffed opal heart pendant. This has been selling at £19.95 from it’s usual £24.95. This is a very striking stone with a beautiful luminous quality to it. It has seen such popularity this month, possibly due to the sun shining, at long last!! It is a very wearable piece of jewellery as it will go with many different  coloured outfits, due to it’s white colour. There are still a few left at this price before it goes back to £24.95 on the 1st June.

We will continue our promotions each month as it has so far proved very popular with our customers.

Last week the fashion world lost one of it’s most famous and eccentric characters, Isabella Blow. Ms Blow will most definitely be remembered for her love of fashion, her trademark red lipstick and her vast collection of hats. She had been the Fashion Director of the Sunday Times.

Ms also had a gift for spotting talent and was responsible for discovering British Talent such as Philip Tracey, Julien Macdonald, Tristan Webber and the model Sophie Dahl.

Unfortunately she suffered severe depression for many years and died after drinking the weedkiller Paraquat. She will  be sadly missed. 

A small collection that costs £10 and under has just been launched following numerous enquiries by those wanting to find pieces that would cost under £10 for gifts. This is not a price level which is readily available in the high street for semi-precious pieces, due to high costs of materials.  Other pieces will be added in the near future as we stive to meet our customers requests. All of the pieces will, again as with the rest of the collection, be made from semi-precious stones, glass and sterling silver. We want to retain our high quality of merchandise at a good price.

We have been asked to join the www.notonthehighstreet.com website and are now live at http://www.notonthehighstreet.com/clutchandclasp .

This website is a great website as it offers a beautiful mix of products, from gifts to stationery, to jewellery and to  baby and mother gifts. Such pieces are not readily available in high street stores so it gives the buyer an opportunity to buy something unique! This site is also regularly appearing in the best website and on-line guides. They also feature heavily in all the fashion magazines, such as Hello, Elle, You, Red, Eve, Marie Claire, Company, Vogue as well as many journals and broadsheets, such as the Telegraph and the Herald. They have also been listed as one of Trinny and Susanna’s favourite websites!!!!  So it really is worth a visit.

On the 1st May the eagerly awaited Kate Moss range for Topshop went on sale to queues of hundreds around the UK.  The range consisted of pieces that were influenced by Kate’s style of dress, from skinny jeans to hot pants. Within minutes, alot of pieces had sold out, mind you by midday 1500 pieces were for sale on ebay.  The range has prompted alot of hype as to whether Ms Moss actually did contribute to the designs and has been hit by critism of poor fabric quality.

Overall the range has proved a successful move for Topshop with Kate due to work on another range.

Last week also saw another eagerly anticipated product restock- the Boots no 7 anti-ageing serum, “protect and perfect”. Thousands queued outside Boots in Edinburgh, London and Manchester to buy this serum. The serum had featured on a BBC2  Horizon special where scientists claimed that this product did actually appear to improve skin wrinkles. Again several of this product ended up for sale on ebay!!
