Mother's Day Gifts Ft. Nude Jewellery

Jewellery, in my opinion, is a lovely gift to not only receive but to give as well. I personally love receiving jewellery and I know my mum does too. Nude Jewellery have very kindly sent me a lovely piece from their latest in house collection, Vanilla Links, that I think  would be perfect gift for mothers day!

I have the *Nude Jewellery Vanilla Links Double Link Sterling Silver Pendant (£85) which is handmade in Mayfair, London by jewellery designer Nikki Galloway. Nude jewellery was a finalist in the UK jewellery awards in 2013. Firstly, the packaging, the necklace came so beautifully packaged *until I got my hands on it* with a silky grey fabric cover surrounding the jewellery box. The tie on the fabric has 'nude' printed on it; it looks like a wax stamp seal which makes it looks very luxurious and fancy! 

The necklace itself is composed of gorgeous shining sterling silver which has been lightly hammered and to me this effect gives the metal a rustic, handcrafted appearance. I adore the design, it is simple but unique and beautiful. The silver snake chain is 16 inches long which is a fantastic length for me personally, as I hate longer length necklaces. I have worn the necklace a few times paired with chunky knits and it looks gorgeous but it would be equally as beautiful with a little black dress, in my opinion. 

Overall, I adore the design of this necklace and the others in this latest in house collection; I love that their pieces are all contemporary and handmade in London! The necklace catches the light beautifully, it is comfortable to wear and it is easy to dress up or dress down. It is such a versatile, staple piece. I know my mum would love this necklace! Here are some of the other gorgeous pieces from the latest collection:

Review: Jana Reinhardt Sleepy Fox Necklace

I was very kindly allowed to pick an item from the lovely people at Jana Reinhardt Jewellery a couple of weeks ago, for more information on my disclaimer, click here, honesty as always. It was difficult to choose one item, there were quite a lot of gorgeous items to choose from and I had my eye on a number of pieces! I decided on the adorable sleepy fox necklace.

I have the *Jana Reinhardt Sleepy Fox Necklace in Sterling Silver (£145). I first heard of Jana Reinhardt through EtailPR, then through Twitter and the media/press. They were finalists in the UK Jewellery Awards 2013 as well as gaining a silver award at the  Goldsmiths Craft & Design Awards, among other achievements! I was so excited when my Jana Reinhardt necklace arrived, I knew it would be very special! 

Firstly, the packaging and presentation. The box is white and very clean/simple which I love. The packaging is gorgeous and I think it would make a very nicely presented gift for anyone. I chose the Sleepy Fox Necklace (sterling silver, 45cm) as I do not own anything like it, it is so adorable and in my opinion perfect for spring/summer. I love dainty silver jewellery, it is the only jewellery I wear (although I am kind of lusting after rose gold pieces too at the moment). The silver is flawless and there is a green sapphire set into the necklace where the chain meets the fox. The chain is dainty and it doesn't look or feel heavy while wearing the necklace, it is quite light overall so it is comfortable to wear all day. The necklace is sterling silver although it doesn't have a hallmark as it weighs less than the required amount for hallmarking. Although, it is still very luxe and special and it should as each item is made by hand!

I cannot describe adequately how adorable this little guy is and how much I love this necklace! The detail on the fox is fantastic, from the eyes to the tiny ears. I have been wearing it non stop pretty much since I received it and I can't stop showing everyone. I have been wearing this necklace with stripy tops, skinny jeans and wedges. Although it would look equally as amazing with a simple dress and heels for a special occasion. It is a versatile, comfortable, simple necklace that is made to a very high standard which is bound to make the wearer feel very special!

Overall, I am so impressed by the presentation, quality, design and versatility of this adorable necklace from Jana Reinhardt. I am glad I chose this design, it is too cute - all of Jana Reinhardt's jewellery is so sweet and simple! You will see this neclace in quite a few OOTD's and lookbooks. The other items I had my eye on include the Wing Necklace, the Sparrow Charm Necklace and the cute Duckling Necklace.
