Since the COVID-19 (Corona) outbreak, the world has
pretty much come to a stand still and I can only think and wander what the
future has in store for us once this pandemic is over. Although the world
economy is taking strain, I can only sympathize with
small businesses across the world who are suffering the most in the business
world. There are so many small businesses out there that have had to put a
sudden halt on production while under #lockdown and have to patiently wait for this all to blow over. I know that
the pandemic will soon be over, but the ripple effect that it will have on
the economy is detrimental. Anyway, enough economic talk, I just wanted to pop
in and promote a special jewellery brand that I came across at the beginning of
the year, which I have instantly fallen in love with!
“Adorn at dawn” is this bespoke jewellery design’s
philosophy. In such times of uncertainty and stress, I love the way that A Bird
Named Frank sees jewellery as fundamental to the human psyche. A second skin
that becomes an uninterrupted history of wearing our imagination.
I am so excited to have had the opportunity of
collaborating with A Bird Named Frank (ABNF) for a Client of mine, who is
getting married in Franschhoek later this year. ABNF was established in 2010
and their high quality handmade jewellery embody their founders, Caryn and
Peter, who both have a background in fashion and sculpture.
Featuring the “Rarara” necklace from the Cloud Gate Collection, the three polished brass circles on the sterling silver chain is a delicate
and unique piece that can be paired perfectly with a sophisticated outfit for a
special occasion, but could also instantly dress up a casual outfit out on the
town.
For the ears, I have featured the “Falling Pearls”
and “Hold the Ocean”, brass and pearl hoop stud earrings from the Hot Spring Symmetrical Collection. I love the fact that pearls are the only gemstone that
come from a living being which always gives a timeless, yet sophisticated look.
These earrings are big enough to wear as a statement piece with your hair tied up, but are also so
comfortable to wear and pair beautifully with a subtle necklace or bracelet.
The use of the natural river pearls means that the pearls all have their own
asymmetrical shapes, making each pair of earrings unique and different from the
other.
I particularly like the natural matte finish of all
the ABNF products, which will develop a natural patina over time. If you prefer
bright and shiny jewellery, all products come with a special polishing cloth
for this purpose. Inevitably, over time, the shine will fade so the polishing cloth is great for quickly adding the shine back into the jewellery.
