bite jewellery Stay Gold Promoting their latest jewellery collection of gold-plated pieces, Cristina Lloyd admires the selection in gold and rose gold vermeil from Lola Rose London. W hen someone receives a gift that is so special that it totally changes their lives, it is valued as sentimen- tal, but when it goes further by awakening a desire to create, it is extraordinary. This is what happened to Nikki Gewirtz, founder of Lola Rose London, when she received a piece of jewellery for her 30th birthday. Not only was it beauti- ful but it evoked magical childhood memories and became the deciding factor in a change of direction she had been contem- plating for a while. “I was at a crossroads in my life, and I didn’t know what I want- ed to do, but I felt the need to create something stunning that was real and could be treasured,” she explained. “This gift in- spired me to start designing my own pieces. At the same time, it reminded me of my Grandma Lola. She was so glamorous and stylish - I adored her.” It was by using her grandmother’s name that the brand Lola Rose London was born and led the designer to create her first piece of jewellery, a single tum- ble-stone bracelet. Nikki’s vision has always been to create fabulous, timeless pieces that resonate with every moment of our lives. “I want to provide a little piece of everyday luxury that makes women feel great about themselves.” As every woman desires to feel and look wonderful, Lola Rose London create accessories that does exactly this as well as bring confidence, whether it is through one of her beautiful printed scarves or a bold gemstone brace- let to wear on an evening out, every woman is precious in the eyes of Lola Rose. Over the years, the designer has created some fascinating piec- es of jewellery including fine and semi-precious gemstones in bracelets, necklaces, pendants, rings and earrings as well as ac- cessories and homeware. Here you will find a range of leather clutch bags in snake print and leather envelope bags with scarf handles, cotton scarves and snoods, watches in semi-precious stones, treasure boxes, trays, and photo frames in stone print. But what really caught our eyes was the new gold collection from the brand. Eye-catching pieces such as the Celestial Rising Sun Stone Pen- dant from the Curio collection is demure enough to be worn everyday yet full of Lola Rose’s signature charm, making this a mystical statement. This pendant is suspended from a cable chain and made from 18 carat Gold Vermeil on Sterling Silver with engraved sun rays on Rainbow Moonstone and Turquoise, and accented with a Natural White Zircon sun. Nikki suggests pairing this with a matching ring for a coordinated look. Keeping with the same theme, the Celestial Slider Bracelet is detailed with golden rays, also in 18 carat Gold Vermeil on Sterling Silver. It has gemstones in a choice of Turquoise, sublime Rainbow Moonstone and tropical Neo Pink Dendritic Agate. Why not wear this bracelet with a coordinated clutch for a polished summer evening look? The last piece from this collection is the Celestial Rising Sun Stone Ring in Rainbow Moonstone & Natural White Zircon. There is even more with the elegant yet full of charm Coin Stud Pendant made from 18 carat Gold Vermeil, which is also avail- able in Rhodium plated Sterling Silver. This delicate pendant is adorned with a coin charm punctuated by a dazzling Natural White Zircon stone and can be paired with the matching ear- rings as a set. You can wear this piece either on its own or stack it with other necklaces in the Curio line for a fashion-forward effect. It is also available as the Mini Coin Stud Pendant.
