Spring Style Updates From Helly Hansen
Spring is the perfect time to update your wardrobe by adding some new pieces and some lighter, prettier colours. The best additions to your wardrobe are those that are classics that will be worn over and over again, thus totally earning their place. In addition to this, practical pieces that work for the school run, for the weekend, for watching football on the sidelines, or just for a trip to the shops, are far better investments than the beautiful dress that you totally covet, but wear only once. This season, Helly Hansen has covered all the bases. Helly Hansen are a global brand that is well known as being the…

Boys From The Blackstuff At The Rep
Boys From The Blackstuff was one of the most important television events of the 1980’s. I was a young child in 1982 when it was first shown, but I can still remember people saying ‘I can do that, gizza job’, in the inimitable style of the most famous character, Yosser Hughes. Now all the power, brutality and humour of the original Alan Bleasdale script has been transformed into a piece of theatre by James Graham that has you crying in despair one minute, and laughing out loud the next. I saw it at The Rep, Birmingham, last night and can testify it is a masterpiece. Chrissie, Loggo, George, Dixie…

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.

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. Agatha Christie didn’t write boring books. There are a few poor ones, but even those often had a flash of humour, or a good character, at least something to recommend. Towards Zero is one of my very favourite stand alone stories, it is full of…

The Growing Role Of Technology In Modern Jewellery Design
The jewellery industry, known for its craftsmanship and tradition, is undergoing a technological renaissance. From design ideas to improving production methods, technology elevates creativity and tackles sustainability and ethical sourcing concerns. The fusion of technology and jewellery creation excites consumers and designers and is changing the global industry. Redefining Jewellery Design Through Digital Tools One way technology has changed the game is for jewellers to manifest their wildest dreams into tangible pieces. For example, computer-aided design (CAD) software has long since become a must-have for modern jewellers. CAD enables designers to create detailed and accurate models of their designs, affording them more room to experiment and improve. But by streamlining this process, you can avoid building physical…
