Here is another brand worth the conversation.
Jewelry can take any wardrobe from ordinary to amazing — and an inspired jewelry designer can bring more to your wardrobe than just outward beauty. One such maker is Mirabelle, a British based Fair Trade* company with pieces are created with “love and soul”. (We can all use a bit of that on a daily basis).
Founded by Veronique Henry, the daughter of a Parisian silver maker, Mirabelle Jewellery Ltd exudes a quality of understated elegance. Worn by many, including the Duchess of Cambridge (she chose the Lolita Earrings,) the brand has been seen on numerous editorial pages.
As described at Mirabelle’s site, pieces are created:
“With a strong belief in the power of jewellery to uplift the spirits, collections are imbued with symbolism and meaning, from crystal stones to ancient talismans.”
The brand includes a number of curated collections, including a British made charm collection, a fair trade collection and a natural pearl collection. All include wonderful, easy to wear pieces.
Here are the links to our favorite picks. (BTW, these items are affordable.)
