Cooking up a Gem with Nigella Lawson

Did you Nigella Lawson wears clip on earrings? Naturally we do, having supplied earrings to the darling of television kitchen decadence on several occasions.

Good Housekeeping Magazine

In November’s Good Housekeeping magazine, Nigella took a special interview which painted some other sides to her than in her TV cook shows. We’ve always loved the fact that she’s not ashamed to admit she loves food and knew she loves online shopping but it was surprise to hear she can’t wrap without making a book end up looking like a bottle of wine!

As delighted as we were to help Nigella look as stunning as she does, we were even more pleased to hear that a new book and TV show are out! Nigella Kitchen is currently showing on BBC2 (iplayer has catch up episoides) and her new book, Kitchen: Recipes from the Heart of the Home is out now.  Having drooled over her deliciously Christmasy Seasonally Spiced Nuts, we’re sure Nigella is set to be the flavour of the season yet again!

Earrings You Want, The Way You Want

Since launching our range of pierced to clip on earring converters we’ve been amazed how many requests we’ve had. We’re listening and one new innovation we’ve launched is a screw on version of our popular no bend earring converters:

Screw On No Bend Pierced to Clip Earring Converter Gold

Screw On No Bend Pierced to Clip Earring Converter Gold

No bend earring converters are ideal for dangle earrings and the screw on fitting gives you much finer control over how tightly they grip your ears. The range start from £4.99 for a pair and are hypo-allergenic and available in gold and silver.

Another One Bites the Dust

It’s been big, long party and all along we had that sinking feeling in our heart that told us sooner or later the relationship was going to be over and that they’d leave us for another. We knew it was coming. Yet we couldn’t hope for a better partner to take the Glam Chick Gold Mesh Earrings away to Derbyshire.

Farewell beauties, we’ll always hold a soft spot for you.

The Last Hoops For Bohemia

Some lines we run are select and you may need a certain style to pull off the look. The confident burlesque pieces, the kitsch retro numbers or the cute hearts.

Other lines have a broad appeal and are natural party animals that just want to have fun with you! We knew our Boho Hoop Clip On Earrings were made to be adored and today the Silver and Black flavour went to the history list as the last one shipped off Oxfordshire.

We’re all loved up for the Bohemian Hearts

Every now and then we run a vintage piece because of it’s striking looks. Our Bohemian Hearts were such a line. Made in India they had this wonderful aged quality that added to their charm – proof that some looks get better with age! We loved them for that alone and it’s a shame to say that the last of this original line of clip on earrings is now sold out.

It does have a sister item and that’s our Bohemian Black Hoop Clip on Earrings.  Though these too are rapidly becoming rarer in our warehouse than the Elephant is in Africa, we hope the last can be placed with a loving home that can enjoy them for many years to come:
