Mirror mirror on the wall...

                                     This month, to celebrate Halloween, we decided to go gothic with a dark fairy tale theme in our shops Westbourne Grove and Upper Street. 

Upper Street

Westbourne Grove
Almaz Drop Pendant in gold vermeil

We have some seasonal must-haves just befitting the Damsel-in-Distress, or the girl escaping the jaws of the Big-Bad-Wolf.

Evoke the spirit of your favourite fairy tale.
Wear a tiny drop around your neck, a keep-sake or charm, with the Almaz Drop Pendant










Go ethereal with the falling petals of the Lotus collection.

DON'T LOOSE YOUR STUDS - To avoid loosing your little stud earrings, link them together using the butterflies like this:











POUCHES- Don't always dump your jewellery in your handbag - always carry a pouch or little box to keep it safe. Look out for our new pouches coming soon!

SILVER DIP- Has your silver gone a funny colour?
 The best way to clean up tarnished, dull looking silver jewellery is to dip it in a chemical called silver dip. You can buy this at good supermarkets, and also at Waitrose Online. Alternatively, throughout October, we invite you to bring your Dinny Hall jewellery into one of our stand-alone London stores Westbourne Grove or Upper Street, and we'll dip it for you .

~OUT ON THE TOWN~

It's time for a little focus on the contemporary art world now that Frieze is on a again in Regents Park. I ventured out to the Lisson Gallery opening of Anish Kapoor's new work and very colourful it is too.
Nancy Fouts- Moniker Art Fair
Anish Kapoor- Lisson Gallery



 You can see me standing with a green aura in front of one of his giant green convex bowl like installations above. 

There's a lot more art to see over the next few days, but take a look at the wonderful Owl/Moth image by Nancy Fouts.






I wish I could find a contemporary painting I like as much as Cecily Brown's work but I guess I'll have to save up.

Over and out,

I'd like to give you a few tips every now and then about how to look after your jewellery. So if you love your jewellery like I do, watch this space!

Diamond Crown Studs

DIAMOND STUDS- take them off at night (when you remember) and put them into an egg cup of vodka or gin. In the morning *put the plug in the sink* and clean with soap and an old toothbrush- rinse...
                   ... you have your sparkles back!

TANGLED NECKLACES- hang your long necklaces which tend to tangle (so you never wear them) on a hanger at the end of your wardrobe. To protect use a sheet of tissue paper folded over.



Our Talitha Chain Necklace is so delicate it's one to be watched for tangling
