Malene and Bob returned from their travels a few days ago - bags loaded down with Sterling Silver and Baltic Amber - and have been busy working away ever since preparing the new stock for sale.

It’s a long and tiring process, and involves many hours of photography, sizing images, preparing web pages, and deciding which lines best go with which. Boxes have been arriving from far flung destinations all week, with the Fashion Jewellery the last to arrive.

If all goes well, the new stock should begin appearing on the web-site in just a few more days. There will be all new lines of Sterling Silver and Baltic Amber - rings, pendants, earrings, and bracelets - as well as some more unusual items that we’re fairly sure you haven’t seen before. I won’t spoil the surprise, but shells do play a part.

As promised, these new lines will be sold individually, rather than as part of pre-prepared lots. This will enable you to pick and choose the rings and pendants you feel best suit your customers. It’s all good stuff, but tastes do differ - varying country by country, or region by region.

We’ve had a number of enquiries lately about Ikita Jewellery, with customers asking when, or if, we will be getting our hands on new Ikita stock. The answer, I’m afraid, is not soon. We have many new Fashion Jewellery lines that will be appearing on the web-site shortly, but Ikita is not amongst them. Having said that, we’ll keep our eyes open and let you know when we do manage to source some Ikita.
