Tell us about how you started making Jewellery? 

Jewellery started out as a hobby for me, and something which I taught myself as a textiles student. I used to collect unusual materials like plastic tie-wraps and guitar strings and turn them into intricate jewellery pieces. When people started to buy them I realised I could go somewhere with it, and sold my first collection to Dispensary in Carnaby Street.

As spotted at the Brits last night the fabulous Alexandra Burke wearing jewels courtesy of EG Studio. First up Rachel Entwistle's jewelled bug earrings a perfect style treat at £165. 

Accessorised with a La Diosa Honey Moon Amethyst Ring for £290 – a design classic with a contemporary twist! Genius!  

We caught up with the designers behind new, young brand La Diosa for their style tips and inspirations. 

A definate inspiration for any young entrepeneur and designer.

Anthony de Marco is Editor and Founder of the Jewellery News Network and regularly contributes to Forbes.com and JewelleryNetAsia. 

He joins us as guest curator to share his five top pieces from EG Studio that appeal to the Asian market and comments on the appetite in Asia for European Jewellery designers.

There’s a lot of good news for European jewellery designers who want to sell their goods in Asia. First, Asian consumers love jewellery.  Second, European jewellery design is in great demand throughout Asia, particularly in China, and that demand shows no signs of letting up. Third, the region is one of the few places left on earth that hasn’t cut back on buying high-carat gold jewellery.  With the economy growing Asian consumers want to spend their newfound wealth on the better things in life.

A design that has plenty of what’s desirable in Asia and elsewhere is Ana de Costa’s Crystal Glazing Gold Pendant. This 18ct gold piece with tsavorite and topped with a rock crystal has movement, colour sparkle and refinement.

Annabel Kerman is a Celebrity Stylist and Magazine Style Director

To celebrate Vogue's Online Fashion Week Annabel joins us as a Guest Curator to take you through her styling tips and festive picks!

Annabel trained in costume and theatre and worked in television and stage design before moving into fashion styling. Fashion Editor of a national newspaper at 23, She has since divided her time between in house styling, and working with celebrity clients. She has been working with Tess Daly personally and for the Strictly Come Dancing show, for the past five years.

Annabel says "Styling Tess for Strictly Come Dancing enables me to indulge my love of statement jewellery, and with over 30 outfits to accessorise for the show, I trawl through the latest hot jewellery designers every autumn for new and exciting pieces.   This season we wanted to go more directional with Tess’s look, and discovering EG Studio was amazing: With so many diverse modern jewellery designers under one roof it has made my job this season so much easier!  "

The site is perfect for Christmas party accessorising at every price point, regardless of whether you want to go for full on ‘Strictly’ glamour, or make a simpler outfit stand out from the crowd.

In fact a piece of spectacular jewellery with something as basic as a white vest can be the most fabulous of all, so be brave and don’t think you need to stick to convention when it comes to accessorising.

Some pieces from the EG Studio I am currently loving: 

I have a slight obsession with quirky charm necklaces, but for the party season I want something a little bolder, and this large Chavin Jaguar Pendant ticks every box. 

Break out your cigarette pants, tuxedo jacket and team with some Hollywood worthy chandelier earrings – Shoulder skimming earrings are back in fashion and we've compiled our list of the top shoulder-grazing designs that are the ultimate in show stopping styles.  

These Ana de Costa earrings are the Rolls Royce of drop earrings opt for dramatic chains and rare stones. 

We asked International Fashion Super Stylist Alexia Somerville to stand still for a few minutes to lend her fabulous expertise and styling advice on all things bauble and jewel related to EG Studio's jewellery affinados.

Alexia gives us the lowdown on key tips for donning jewels and her choice from our 70 Designer Brands. 

Alexia Somerville

Alexia has worked on high profile editorial shoots for fashion and style publications around the World – working with everyone from Nick Knight, Liberty Ross and Isabella Blow to Tatler, Vogue, Olay and L’Oreal. 

She has styled music videos for George Michael, Robbie Williams and Pink and her work is geared towards 'big' characters and solo artists with a strong sense of style. She traverses the World styling the fabulous and the beautiful and is currently based in LA. 

'I have always loved dressing up from I was very young and accessorizing with jewelry has been a major part of my personal life and work. Being a fashion stylist for the last 11 years and having had the privilege of dressing some fabulous people in some fabulous jewels has been almost like a working therapy for me. For me, the bolder the better. Attention grabbing cuffs; conversation starting rings and statement earrings are the way forward.....'

Alexia goes on to add..

'Don't feel that you have to load up a look with jewelry as this is a skill that few can pull off well, but a well chosen piece or two is like a miniature work of art and will transform an otherwise plain outfit.'

Styling by Alexia Somerville 

One of the biggest screen icons who was famous for her amazing jewelry collection was Elizabeth Taylor and recently there have been so many features, articles and fashion shoots inspired by her love for statement jewelry.

We've had the trends inspired by the nations obsession with MadMen and the '1950's lady look' and pearls with everything. Somehow I feel the vibe in England is obsessing now with 'Essex Chic'. Think Dallas but in Brentwood! Think Bold and Gold to compliment that tan and those highlights, but also look out for bright juicy rich colours too.

There are SO many amazing pieces on the site but here are just some of my favorite pieces on EG Studio. 

Exquisitely crafted and combines gold with juicy colors. It's also great jewelry to fiddle and play with!

£2200

Giselle Ganne Divorce Ring 

Out of control amazing - and will probably get talked about a lot more than the one you got for your engagement!

£995 

Ana Da Costa Sirius Earrings.

A rich and beautiful colour. Something Liz Taylor would have been proud of.

£750

Leila Abdollahi Eidyia Gemstone Earrings 

Gemstones will always be a girl's best friend and these have length and strength going for them too.

Bling Deenie Black Crystal Twist Earrings 

Can't go wrong with luxe black and gold.

£58

Sho Fine jewellery Origami Night Fusion Open Pearl & Gold Ring 

Genius concept and design. Another conversation starter for sure!

£2080

Another great tip bit from Ms Alexia Somerville! Ignore at your style peril! 

Alexia Somerville championing the Crazy Duchess vibe!

Juliet Rowe is a PR consultant and all round expert on baubles  – from fabulous fine jewellery, the latest fashion jewellery finds and luxe accessories to beauty, lifestyle and the general zeitgeist.  In her considered view, jewellery doesn’t have to be expensive – The most important thing? It has to look good enough to eat.

So we invited her to launch our debut Guest Curation at EG Studio to advise on the hottest picks and latest talents. 

Decadent, delicious as well as practical are all terms which really do describe my recent unearthing of this newly launched online destination boutique of baubles. The issue of gem-browsing has quite frankly just been given a refreshing wake-up call here at elizabethgaltonstudio.com.

I'm well and truly hooked, if the truth be known. My addiction is coated in precious metals and coloured precious stones. I'm a sucker for anything and everything that sparkles and works as an accessory so I am happy to be guest curating...

Divorce Ring Gisele Ganne £1250

 First on my list is this truly show-stopping gold knuckle-busting cocktail ring coated in 18 carat vermeil and christened the ‘Divorce Ring’! Now clearly this is not a name of festive dimensions or vibe or in fact having a little jig under the mistletoe but them again, maybe it is! The humour here by the designer is awesome, I mean we can’t take baubles too seriously and sad but true, the current zeitgeist appears to be dictating more and more of the ‘D’ word…Designer Gisele Ganne has got it right, her design is sharp, bold and truly unique. Flash that beak that grasps that pearl to its last share of the oyster.

In September, Elizabeth Galton's new online innovation was profiled in the Financial Times 'Jewellery & Watches Supplement' and endorsed by Editor in Chief Anthony De Marco of the influential US blog Jewelry News Network  . 

"The idea of having a well-known designer as the face of an e-commerce website where she serves as a curator for other luxury brands is something I haven't seen. Elizabeth Galton should certainly be the appeal of the website. If people are not that familiar with her, they are certainly familiar with Links of London. Having such an authorative figure headlining such a website should have strong appeal." 

An unlikely friendship across the pond followed with Editor and Curator establishing a dialogue through their mutual passion for jewellery.

Jewelry News Network is a leading authority on Jewellery News, an informative blog for those who are passionate about jewellery and watches and want to learn more about the industry. It is a place to find new products from all over the world, whether they are from the most famous luxury houses or new designers and manufacturers, and the most recent news about the business of jewellery, watches and luxury.

Anthony covers the latest news from Elizabeth Galton Studio on Jewelry News Network including Elizabeth's first foray into publishing. The renowned luxury jewellery designer and internet entrepreneur Elizabeth Galton is set to add another string to a bow as she embarks on her first book. Her latest venture Elizabeth Galton Studio is the jewellery website of the moment and acts as the perfect platform for this new and exciting project.  

In a homage to Iris Apfel we've dedicated this blog post to the bold and the beautiful in jewellery.

A true style icon as well as American businesswoman and former interior designer
– she is an inspiration in an age full of young wannabees and pretenders. 

We dedicate some of EG Studio's most bold and fabulous jewels that will take you into the festive season with style, glamour and spirit. We feel certain that Iris would approve.

Place of Birth:  USA

Current Residences:  London

Astrological sign:  Capricorn

Ideal Place of Residence: Sardinia, Italy

Occupation:  Owner of Denise Manning London 

 Tell us about your background? 

I grew up in America and lived in Boston until I moved to London at 31. I have a degree in Business and Finance and have been a bit of a serial entrepreneur.

While in the US my careers varied, I worked as a television presenter for fashion, entertainment and news broadcast, started a marketing consultanting serivce  to celebrities selling products via television shopping and founded and sold a successful production company after 8 years in operation. While in the UK, I was Business Develop Director and Executive member for The Virgin Group launching select businesses from 1997-2003.

 How did you come to create Jewellery? 

 By chance….

Soon after leaving the Virgin Group I took time to plot my next career move.  With time on my hands, I always get up to something. This time it was jewellery. I came to realize my passion for design by creating a small bespoke jewellery collection. The collection was distinguished by quality, exclusivity and unique design…and only one of each design.  It sold before I had a chance to market it officially.  There was clearly a gap in the market for ONE OF A KIND, interesting and well made fashion jewellery and I was prepared to fill it.  My years of business experience and creativity came together in 2004 as Denise Manning London was officially launched.

How do you choose the materials and metals that you work with?

I travel regularly to Europe, Asia and to the US to find unique components and unusual stones, and I choose based on quality and originality.

Denise Manning Vintage Leaf Black Pendant Necklace

Tell us about your atelier?  

Organized chaos….but inspiring. Tall windows and lots of light, beautiful stones…everywhere, clients coming and going and music….lots of music.

How do you set about creating a collection?  

Because most of my work is one of a kind the collections are ever changing.  Each season I create/source an element whether it’s a special shape or a vintage component and that element drives the collection forward. I play  a lot with colour and love to use interesting textures. Seasonal colours and fashion trends will always be reflected in some way in every collection.

What inspires your collections?   

Rich textiles, unusual shapes, my love for colourful art and treasures from the past all play a big part.

Clare Hynes and St Erasmus jewel encrusted creations are heavily on our radar. We're totally hooked and so it appears is Brides Magazine. 

Emma Guest and her delightful bird motifs caught our eye in Stella Magazine so we caught up with her on her unusual design perspective, inspirations and creations as she launches on EG STUDIO.

Place of Birth:

Harlow, Essex, but moved to South East London at 18 months and grew up there.

Current Residence: North London

Astrological sign: Pisces

Ideal Place of Residence: Right where I am – or Sydney, Australia!

Occupation: Jewellery designer/maker

Tell us about how you started making Jewellery? 

I started making beaded costume jewellery when I worked as a production editor on national women’s and style magazines in the 90s and early Naughties. Friends would ask me to make them one, and one of my fish charm bracelets was spotted by the fashion editor of Elle. She featured it on one of Elle’s style pages and gradually business just snow-balled. My costume jewellery label Lily the Pink was launched in 2002.

What inspires your work?

Anything and everything: the kinetic toys I played with as a child on visits to the V&A Museum of Childhood in East London, a petrol blue silk dress against a gold necklace, the curve of a beautiful staircase, last year’s Henry Moore exhibition at Tate Britain. I keep my mind and eyes open wherever I go.

I became obsessed with teal and gold as a colour combination after seeing this intimate portrait of Sam Taylor Wood – and those heels are to die for!

I love the dramatic curve of this beautiful staircase.

What is your favourite piece?

 My large gold vermeil and ebony bird necklace - it’s a big statement piece that I love wearing out at night with a simple silk tunic top – it always attracts a lot of attention.

How do you create a collection?

 By getting out and about with my sketchbook. I draw and draw until the germ of an idea starts to take hold. I then mull it over in my head for a long time – I get some of my best ideas at night in bed! But often the design I have in my head changes once I get to my workbench – that’s when I realize a design doesn’t hang properly, or looks too clunky or wouldn’t be comfortable to wear.

The kinetic movement of a horse is captured on this Tate catalogue – my jewellery is all about movement

What is your Brand ethos? Simple, paired-down elegance with a twist.

Tell us about the materials you work with?

I choose my materials very carefully to reflect my brand ethos – whether it’s sleek, glossy acrylic or the deep sheen of polished ebony. These less traditional materials are always paired with sterling silver and 18ct gold vermeil for a truly stunning combination.

We caught up with Founder Simon Ogilvie-Harris of Chavin Jewellery (pronounced: Sha-Veen) as it launches on EG STUDIO. 

Simon is hot footing it to Peru this week to run training programmes on behalf of Chavin's charitable work and meet with SOS Children the charity the newly launched ethical Brand supports. 

Chavin Jewellery comprises a unique collection of Boho pieces designed by young London Jeweller de jour Ana de Costa. 

A new design led jewellery brand, Chavin believes in integrating ethical practices into the core of their business and their mission is to offer the modern fashion conscious female customer exclusive jewellery pieces which will fulfill them both aesthetically and morally. Never has jewellery shopping felt so good!

The Chavín brand sits at the convergence of luxury and responsibility - a belief that luxury need not only be focused on material gratification. Through the empowerment of people and societies ethical gratification can be achieved.

Simon told EG STUDIO he will achieve this "by reinvesting in Peruvian communities through our innovative partnership with SOS Children, the world’s largest orphans and abandoned children’s charity."

Model and all round young style icon Daisy Lowe is back in London and was caught wearing a fabulous Jessica de Lotz 'Red Relished Apple Necklace' which she says is 'a personal favourite of mine'!

What inspires your work?

Everything! But ageing rockers are probably the key.

Tell us about how you came to start making Jewellery?

As a child I used to collect beads and used them to make pieces of jewellery which were usually pulled apart after a few weeks, as I didn't like having the beads missing from my collection!  At the beginning of the year when I started to see the trend for friendship bracelets really take off that I decided to re-visit my childhood hobby.  I made up a few brightly coloured, macrame bracelets for a shoot I was working on. They went down very well, and I ended up making them for the crew on the shoot who encouraged me to start selling them online.  I had been looking to start my own company for a while and have always been interested in jewellery so the creation of Elkin was a very happy accident!

You’re also stylist, how has this impacted the Jewellery you create?

Self-employed Jewellery Designer

Where did you train?

I completed a MA in Jewellery Design from Sir John Cass Dept. of Art, Media, and Design at London Metropolitan University (Sept 2009)

As well as a BFA in Studio Art - Photography from the Henry Radford Hope School of Fine Arts at Indiana University (Dec 1998)

How did you come to create Jewellery?

i studied many different types of Art from a young child, and have always been interested in creative endeavours. But it wasn’t until I did a one-day course during the summer of 2005 at Morley College to make a silver ring that I really discovered my passion for creating Jewellery.

What made you choose glass as the inspiration for your debut collection?

It evolved as a result of my MA Final Project <<ACTIONS speak louder than words>> jewellery art which punctuates the skin border which looked at how body modification practices influence contemporary Jewellery. I created a body of work out of shards of glass, yet always desired to develop the concept into a more wearable collection.

This week the Press went simply mad for Jewellery Designer, Jianhui London's fruity statement bracelet numbers despite the washout weather.

Grazia Daily 'This fruity necklace will brighten even the dullest and darkest of outfits. Why? Because why the hell not!'

Occupation: Jewellery Designer

How did you come to create Jewellery?

Being a designer has been my dream since I was a child. But because of my background, I never had any chance to get a professional training.

I made a piece of jewellery from some broken vintage pieces and gave it to my mother as a gift when I went back to China four years after I have been in the UK. At such a small village, no one had seen anything like that before. They thought it was amazing. Since then, I started making jewellery as a gift for friends birthdays or Christmas.

One day, a friend of mine encouraged me to sell to shops. I walked into a boutique called Scarecrow (now they are not just a customer of mine, but also a very good friend!) with a few designs. They placed an order! That was about 6 years ago.

We caught up with the lovely, down to earth and madly talented, Jenny Manik Mercian –

We caught up with Fine Jeweller extraordinaire, Ana de Costa on her life, loves and work .... 

The inspirations that inform your work… 

I am inspired by my spiritual lifestyle….I know it sounds a little contrived but concepts which interest me are often quite spiritual, fantasy and mystical. I guess its because I have a freedom of thought which allows me to daydream and ponder ethereal ideas and themes…I am also inspired by travel, culture and antiquity, especially the decadence of the 1920s and Art Nouveau.

Tell us about Lindsay Lohan and the piece she bought …

Lindsay is a friend and private client. I launched my latest collection, Alchemy, based on ancient magik and Alchemy… in La and she came to the launch to support and see the new collection. She purchased the magik wand pendant, the tiny luna pendant and the tiny luna studs too. She particularly loves the wand and wore it the following day when she was recorded by the worlds media wearing it outside the Beverly Hills court house last September- this was the last time she got sent to jail….wearing my pendant, outside and inside the courtroom- obviously her luck and magik had run out that day!! 

We caught up with newcomer, Zelia Horsley as she launches on EG Studio and got the inside edge on her collections and ethos.
