And the winners are.....

......... Hang on a minute!
Before I tell you who the lucky winners are I thought I would share my latest press.

Friendship bracelets in the Jan/Feb issue of You & Your Wedding.

An interview with moi in trade magazine Gift Focus - have had lots of calls thanks to this which is great as I would rather like more coverage on the high street.

And, the friendship bracelets again in last weeks Now magazine.

Not bad eh?!

Moving on to the giveaway. Thanks to all of you lovelies that entered and shared with others. I decided in the end that I would choose one winner from Twitter, one from the comments left here and one from the Facebook page.
They should all have been chosen using the random number generator but in the end I only used this for here and Facebook. I chose the winner from Twitter as I felt that she well and truly deserves it. All who follow her will know where I am coming from...

So, the True Love bracelet (red) goes to Katie Joyce over at FB.
The Truly Madly Deeply (purple) goes to Natasha Mellor who commented on this ere blog.
And the Loved bracelet (pink) goes to Sucy Purcell over at Twitsville.

Yay, congratulations all. Please get in touch and let me know what you would like on your bracelets.

Thanks again for all the entries and watch this space for another giveaway soon.

A home birth

It is manic here at C&B HQ. I cannot even spare the time to fart (which of course I would never do anyway) let alone really be here on the much neglected blog.

But, there is something I must share with you.

One of my customers has just has her fifth (OMG) child. She asked another of my customers (a very talented photographer) to capture the birth in stills.

The results are beautiful.

Emma wore nothing during the labour but her Chambers & Beau necklace.

More of the images can be seen at Sarah's fab blog here. Don't worry, it is all gorgeously tasteful (nothing down the business end)!

Even the midwife present has now been in touch (she is called Cheryl Cole - imagine my initial excitement).

The parents are popping over tomorrow to get an extra charm for the necklace and bringing the new arrival with them. This lovely story has really lifted my spirits. Almost given me a touch of wet eye ♥

Neglect

I have written in the past about losing my blogging mojo.

This time it has gone well and truly or had you not noticed?

To make matters worse I was skimming through my posts a few days ago and cringed at the things I had written. I mean, seriously, who cares that I had a crush on Bill from True Blood (who has now been replaced by Don Draper of Madmen fame)!

I am happy however to keep you up to date with the goings on of Chambers & Beau.

A great response to the latest collections (find them here) with a bit of press and lots of orders.

Christmas ideas in trade jewellery mag The Jeweller.

Another Christmas gift guide but this time in inflight Flybe's Uncovered mag.

And, saving the best till last, another mention in Grazia's fashion charts.
This makes me very happy!

My only other news is that I have gifted Samantha Cameron. I thought she would be a good choice what with being the most photographed woman in the UK at present. No news yet but am hoping that a little thankyou note for her Family Classic necklace might plop on my doormat sometime soon.
Promise to be back soon

Peep Beau

Peep Beau - the new collection of personalised jewellery for your little peeps.

I got asked so often if I did childrens jewellery that I decided to take my charms and attach them to teeny tiny little bracelets and necklaces - simples and soooo cute.

Prices starting from £40 and all available from 1st October - just in time for Chrimbo.

Both this collection and the new 'We Are Family' are available to pre order now from the eboutique.

For all pre orders use code FAMILY for a 10% discount.

How kind am I?

Lifestyle

I have been given some advice about my photography. Apparently jewellery sells better online if the images are lifestyle rather than cutouts (like I normally have).

Luckily for me my photographer is fab at both. Really pleased with the results but not sure which I prefer.

What do you reckon?
