Emi-Lou Designs, Chapter 1

Hello and welcome to my blog. Somewhat ambitiously and a bit like a New Years resolution I have decided to try and write something at least once a week. Even if no one reads this but me, it will be chance for me to look back in years to come and hopefully see what I've done as a bit of a visual diary for my jewellery and any other experiences along the way.

Anyway, the last few months jewellery wise have been great. I have had one event which was hosted in the Gold room at Embargo59 in Chelsea. I was so nervous but it was a great location and I got some really positive responses from girls looking at my range (plus a few sales…which was a huge bonus!). I just really enjoy seeing people trying on my designs, it's such a lovely experience

I also attended an amazing evening event at the Stafford Hotel in September to listen to  “Patrick Wyatt” talk about his life as a bespoke Hatton Garden jewellery designer.(http://londonhotelsinsight.com/2011/09/28/bespoke-jewellery-pub-talk-at-the-stafford/

) He was a great inspiration for me and has really fuelled my want to learn as much as I possibly can about areas of higher end jewellery production/ making etc that are still unknown to me. I am currently looking in to starting a gemology course which will incorporate diamond grading… so all in all very exciting!!!

Following on from the Embargo59 event I excitedly founf out that I'd had my very first media mention here in the monthly online magazing DV8. lthough only a tiny mention I am so happy to see my little jewellery company mentioned in an online publication. We can only go up from here!

Anyway, I think this is enough for now, as not too sure what is to be expected by these blogs, but hope this has been an ok start!

Lots of love
