Friday, 12 June 2020

I love supporting British small businesses because I love the unique items I find. There are so many talented craftsmen and women in the UK, it really is a treasure trove of artisans.

One such lady is Ruth Haldon, the craftswoman behind www.ruthhaldon.co.uk.

About Ruth Haldon Jewellery

Ruth Haldon designs exquisite jewellery from her studio in Co. Durham. With a background in graphic design and visual merchandising for a well-known department store, in 2004 she used her creativeness to set up a business painting watercolours and making one-off pieces of jewellery. Her jewellery business took off and Ruth hasn't looked back, and now you can find her work at the National Glass Centre in Sunderland, Durham and Lincoln Cathedral shop and online amongst other craft and jewellery shops in the UK.

Her handcrafted jewellery is made with love, using a wide range of glass beads and semi-precious stones with sterling silver settings. Every item is made to the highest standard possible, in her workshop in the UK, and comes with a chic and stylish gift box.

For the purpose of this review and giveaway, Ruth has gifted me some of her beautiful jewellery and you can win some today too, read on to find out how.

I had a difficult choice picking jewellery from her website as there were so many lovely items but finally I decided. I chose a matching dark blue flower set and a pair of drop earrings in aqua and bronze.

The stunning dark blue flower necklace is made of glass flowers intercepted with small clear and blue round beads. The flowers range in size gradually getting larger from the clasp to the centre of the necklace.

Dark blue cut flower necklace £68

Dark blue flower hook earrings £22.50

Carefully wrapped in pink tissue paper and packed in a padded branded box, the necklace comes with a choice of earrings, either dark blue flower posts or dark blue flower hooks.

I really loved the necklace and earring set. The colour of the blue is very striking and the necklace is the perfect length at 52cm (20.5 inches). It is a show stopper of a necklace and the earrings are exceptionally pretty too.

The other item I was sent was the aqua lamp-work lentil hook earrings. What immediately struck me about these earrings was the pretty aqua blue, bronze and gold splash design, that looked like oil on water.

The length of these earrings is perfect at 4cm, not too short if you have long hair, and not too long if you have short hair. With sterling silver hooks, these earrings are incredibly easy to wear and because they are lightweight and are on sterling silver hooks they won't make your ears sore.

The earrings are well-made and presented in a branded Ruth Haldon gift box and they would make a thoughtful gift for a mum, sister or best friend and an amazing little treat for you.
