Caroline Sirand, self-confessed ‘Jill-of-all-trades’, is inspired by all things vintage. She frequently scours thrift shops and auctions from around the world and converts her vintage fabrics and jewellery finds into ‘one-of-a-kind feminine and flirty pieces’.

Take the Queen of Hearts scarf, for example (above). This is one of Gentille Fille’s signature lines and is made from felted vintage wool sweaters which have been cut into hearts and sewn together to create a soft, warm and jaunty scarf.

Her jewellery has a similar quirky, nostaglic feel. Her pretty Prima Ballerina earrings (above), made from vintage plastic irredescent ballerina charms and mixed with plastic and gold hearts and faceted glass beads, will delight gentille filles everywhere.

Kelly Meeker Designs is all about stunning, handcrafted jewellery ’designed for every mood, every event and every woman’. Kelly’s jewellery is made from sterling silver, filled gold, semi-precious stones, pearls and crystals. Her inspiration comes from nature ’ Mother Nature and human nature. It’s not surprising then that she sees her designs as not just accessories but as pieces of art.

Her current range is eclectic with something, as Kelly says, for every woman. And what’s more, you’re not likely to bump into anyone else wearing the same piece. All of Kelly’s jewellery is either one of a kind or limited edition.

The combinations of semi-precious metals and stones is striking - from the romantic fusion of pale pink freshwater pearls and deep red garnets (top) to bold chunks of rock crystal hued into polished rectangles and complemented with sterling silver box chain and stylish leverbacks (above).
