John Greed Origami Flamingo
One of the biggest fashion print trends of 2015 has been the flamingo print. These elegant, graceful creatures have adorned dresses, scarves, bags and tops including styles worn by celebrities such as Alexa Chung, Charlotte Crosby, Sam Faiers and Rita Ora, amongst others.

And now I have added another pretty flamingo to my growing collection in the lovely form of the white gold plated silver origami silver flamingo necklace from the John Greed Origami collection.

Lily Charmed is a great British success story, a real cottage industry that was started at a kitchen table and is now stocked at a range of gift shops and jewellers, as well as…

Designer jewellery boutique Cadenzza arrived in Birmingham recently, and last month saw the store launched officially with a very special party. There were Summer scones and macaroons, Roberto Cavalli flavoured vodka’s (divine!) and, of course, enough designer bling and sparkle to make Marilyn Monroe swoon. It was a very glamorous affair.
