Gnoce: New Season Charms
I was first introduced to the wonderful world of Gnoce jewellery, custom charm bracelets and charms last year, when i was presented with my first Gnoce charm bracelets and some beautiful Alice in Wonderland charms. I instantly fell in love with the charms, and was surprised by the exceptional quality, considering the cost is very competitive when compared to the very similar Pandora. The Gnoce charms actually fit most Pandora bracelets, meaning you can add your new charms to any existing bracelet you may already have. Gnoce is not just about charms though. It has necklaces and pendents, a whole host of jewellery that can be personalised, and promise rings…

Towards Zero: Review
Disclaimer: I haven’t watched all three episodes of the BBC adaptation of Towards Zero yet. I’m being old school and watching each episode a week at a time rather than binge watching it. But, if I’m being honest, I haven’t really had any inclination to binge this series, it’s all been a bit slow and, for such a brilliant, twisty novel, just a bit boring.

Towards Zero is one of my very favourite stand alone stories, it is full of…

For example, computer-aided design (CAD) software has long since become a must-have for modern jewellers.

Painted Dreams At Wolverhampton Art Gallery
I must admit I have caught this wonderful exhibition very late on. It ends this weekend, fittingly on the occasion of International Women’s Day. Painted Dreams, the art of Evelyn De Morgan, is a re-visitation, and a re-imagining, of an exhibition that was first held at the Wolverhampton Art Gallery in 1907. This was a unique, and important exhibition. It was incredibly rare for a modern gallery to dedicate a show to a solo female artist in Edwardian times. Featuring thirty artworks, Painted Dreams reveals De Morgan’s progression as an artist and her technical mastery as one of the most impressive artists of the late Victorian era. Discover De Morgan’s exploration of…
