Stud Earrings for the "Younger Wearer"

My 11 year old daughter was desperate to have her ears pierced, which finally I gave into last year for her birthday. Since then, I have been very disappointed to find that there is a distinct lack of good quality earrings for younger people. At that age, I was keen to find earrings that were made from silver rather than base metal or plastic but also be smallish studs, in designs suitable for that age group - only to find that a local girls accessories store (rhymes with "Pears") seemed to have a monopoly on these type of earrings. These products were not only on the pricey side but also had quite a limited selection in silver.

Therefore we have now put together our own range of earrings that will specifically suit children and young people. All of our earrings have 925 sterling silver backs and posts and some are made entirely of sterling silver. We have also selected a range of fun designs that include, owls, ducks, feet, flowers, butterflies, hearts, seahorses and stars. Although these earrings are not suitable for the initial piercing period, they offer a good quality earring which will last. Prices start at 3.95, so they are extremely good value for silver earrings.

Kazuri Beads

17th October 2011 - Taylor & Vine Jewellery are proud to anounce the addition of Kazuri Beads as a new jewellery brand within their ever expanding web site. Kazuri Beads offer a collection of handmade ceramics beads, beautifully glazed in a wealth of vibrant colours and unique designs.

Kazuri, which means small and beautiful in Swahili, is hand-painted ceramic jewellery made in Kenya. Every bead which makes up a necklace or bracelet is shaped by hand by one of the 300 local women employed by Kazuri. The beads are then kiln fired once, glazed and fired again before being strung. Founded by the late Lady Susan Wood, Kazuri is still located where she first started creating employment for struggling single mothers back in 1975.

In an age of mass-produced goods, Kazuri jewellery stands out as a little bit different. As every piece of jewellery is handmade, every one is unique. The colours are stunning and the glossy finish adds an air of sophistication and class to each item. The timeless designs also ensure they stand the test of time and will be a asset to any jewellery box

Blowing in the Wind Jewellery

For the Autumn/Winter season 2011, we are pleased to announce the addition of Blowing in the Wind jewellery to Taylor & Vines costume jewellery collection.

Blowing in the Wind offer a fabulous range of costume jewellery which is handcrafted using real leaves. The resulting jewellery is incredibly beautiful and extremely life like. The new range compliments our other jewellery collections with a natural theme, but offers an extremely affordable price range.

Each piece oj jewellery features hand picked real leaves which are are hand coated with a copper based finish and then dipped in precious metals such as silver gold, brass and copper.

Every leaf is checked for imperfections and, if it passes inspection, is then fitted with an electrical contact point and hand painted with a copper solution.

After drying, the leaves are then placed in an electrolytic solution which has microscopic particles of 24ct gold. The electrical contact attracts the particles of gold and the metal builds up on the leaf to form a coating, which preserves even the most intricate and minute surface details. The leaf is then checked a final time to ensure the process has not magnified any previously unnoticed imperfections, before being approved

Each pendant is a unique piece of art where every detail of the leaf is preserved. They are truly beautiful and despite their delicate appearance are extremely hard wearing and durable. They are a must have addition to any girl's jewellery box and have already caputred the imagination of such celebrities as Hilary Duff, Fergie, Eva Mendes and Jessica Alba.

Each pendant is accompanied by a gold or silver plated complementing chain. Prices start at £24.95 and are already available on line - click to view
