I am currently showing at ORIGIN the London Craft Fair at Somerset House on Strand. Come along and have a look at my jewellery at stand H7. On show until Sunday this week.
On my list of must see makers in Week One: Andrew Lamb, Michael Berger, Merete Rasmussen, Louise Loder, Alison Willoughby, Adele Brereton and some more…
Life is constantly changing, people come people go, summer comes summer goes, lovers come lovers go, ideas come, some stay some disappear…
..and coffemachines come, age and fall apart and get replaced by their shiny grandchildren…and make me the constant happy caffeine addict.
Thanks mom for sending this! Thanks Hungary for this great great piece of aluminium casting!
Changeable necklace with silver pendant part and a string of vintage garnets. Will show this beautiful piece at Origin in October. You can have a first glance at it at Electrum Gallery, South Molton Street in London right now.
…and we sell Topoware there. Smaller. Nicer. Special. And its in Pound Sterling.
So if you need anything nice to make people smile (and I promise you they will smile) then go and check out our folksy shop. Up and running now.
…and you might find me with some stuff there too soon.
Earrings available at Electrum Gallery in London and soon here

just bumped into this on etsy. why would we buy this?
So I’m of for some time to enjoy some continental summer. Will divide the 6 weeks in work and recharging time. First I head off to Frankfurt to present Topoware at Tendence Lifestyle Fair’s Talents Show. I’m looking forward to a buzzing show.
Then I do (for the first time ever) simultaneous interpreting, that’s rather a scary prospect right now. I don’t even understand the stuff in my own language…health and safety - a beloved subject.
And then some time off. A wedding, a 94th birthday, Berlin, Dresden, Budapest, loads of sun, loads of good food from my beloved countries. Eating on a journey I’d say…
And then I will be back in August to prepare for Origin in October and prepare for a new Teaching project.
So keep on watching this space for some news! and have a great summer…
This week, for the first time ever, its London Jewellery Week or better Coutts London Jewellery Week. The city will buzz with catwalk shows, exhibitions, collection launches, open houses, seminars, workshops, demonstrations and what not to promote London as one of the leading centres when it comes to international jewellery design. There will be something for every taste from high end luxury jewellery to designer maker pieces.
The initative started about two years ago when City Fringe Partnership went into study whether such an consumer-facing event is feasable. After positive results Coutts stepped on the stage to be the title sponsor for this first time ever event with the aim to support jewellery industry via the Jewellery Sector Investment Plan (JSIP). Beside Coutts an illustre bouquet of patrons have given their support, like Garrard, Theo Fennell, De Beers, Boodles, Swarovski, to name a few.
With two showcases on the schedule I am curious how this event will effect every jeweller involved and if it pushes sales, publicity and understading of what we do. Unfortunately my diary this week is full as I am preparing for things in July, so I will miss most of whats on show. I definitely will have a look at the Cockpit Arts open studios, which is interesting this time, as makers demontrate their work process. Go and see my friend Angie Boothroyd there, she’s and alchemist and master in gold alloying.
If you have some spare time on Thrursday come around to Nicholas James on Hatton Garden to have a look at the show I’m in. As the event is by invitation only and the precious cards are sent out so you’d have to get a glimpse through the window…knock and I bring a glass of champagne outside. That will all be fun…We’ll see.
