May Jewellery Notes - Nicola Crawford

A few weeks ago I discovered Nicola Crawford's, beautifully feminine, handmade jewellery.

Nicola is based in Kent, after graduating with a first class BA (hons) in Silversmithing, Goldsmithing and Jewellery in 2011.

Shortly after University Nicola set up her own label, inspired by her love of nostalgia and narrative.

My favourite collection is the latest addition to the label and named after one of my favourite childhood stories, The Secret Garden, a novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett.

The collection is entirely covetable, with Ivy Leaf Rings, Key Pendants and Studs and a clever Lock and Key Ring.

I admire the timeless quality of Nicola's jewellery, all of the collections are pieces you can wear forever.

My favourite piece belongs to another collection named 'With Love'. The necklace is inspired by the illegible hand writing on a postcard from 1908. The letters on the pendant, hanging from a long chain, spell the repeated word love. This stunning piece is now on my wishlist!

Last week the sun decided to shine on most of the UK, causing excitement overload. Despite the wind and the rain this week, I am trying to remain positive and look to the return of Spring.

This season the sleeveless jacket made an appearance in the collections at Jil Sander, Jean-Pierre Braganza and Azzaro. The High Street has followed suit creating this all important extra layer in different styles of faux-leather, denim, cotton and even studded. This simple sleeveless jacket can transform your look nodding to the varying SS13 trends of multi-layering, modern tailoring and the new minimalism.

STYLE TIP à Wear over a light summer dress, or team the long-line versions with trousers and a crisp white shirt.
