Rainbows - Symbolism to Jewellery Style

First things first, why do we love rainbows so much? Well, it's simple really - they're truly magical. There's something inherently joyful and uplifting about witnessing the kaleidoscope of colours that form when sunlight interacts with raindrops in just the right way.

Cubic Zirconia Cocktail Rings by Cavendish

Celebrating Mother's Day with Jewellery Gifts

Christmas Jewellery Party Sparkle

14th December 2023

The Christmas season always puts me in the mood to socialize.

Black Friday Savings for Your Christmas Shopping

We have been totally spoilt in the last few weeks when the weather is supposed to have changed to chilly autumn days and evenings.

The Best Summer 2023 Wedding Trends

22nd May 2023

My own wedding was over 30 years ago but that doesn’t mean I don’t remember how stressful it was to organise and today I think it is even worse with so much influence from social media, wedding planners (it was me and my mum!) and what seems to me to be a huge amount of pressure. I had a wonderful early Spring wedding, and the weather was very kind, but summer weddings are always a pop...

Cubic Zirconia over Real & Lab Diamonds

28th April 2023

Silver Jewellery for Mother's Day Gifts

Mother’s Day is always a special day of the year. As a mum myself, it is always lovely to feel appreciated and spoilt (although not too much spoiling as my boys are 20 And 22!) I used to love the days of homemade cards, big kisses, and dodgy breakfast in bed. As a daughter as well, I really love to spoil my mum with both gifts but also spending time together. I know Mother’s Day can be...

Silver Jewellery Gifts for her this Valentine’s Day

1st February 2023

What can I say about Valentine’s Day? Is it just commercial rubbish invented to make us part with more of our money or a genuine chance to be romantic and appreciate someone special in our lives? Well, its probably a bit of both, but I have always liked special days like this. Just like Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and even Grandparent’s day (I’m quite a fan of nationa...

Black Friday - Silver Jewellery Savings

17th November 2022

Once the clocks change and Halloween and bonfire night are all done, inevitably people start talking about Christmas. Far too early in my view but then again, I do like the big tins of chocolates and the twiglet party tubs!

Halloween Silver Jewellery Treats
