What is this free gift card?

Throughout August, every order you place at Elizabeth Anne Norris jewellery will include a free gift card worth £10. That’s right, we’ll pop a £10 gift card in with your jewellery to be redeemed at any time in the future. Keep it for yourself or give it to your bestie? Ah! how nice. Your gift card is easy to use. Each card has a unique code on it. Next time you want to order anything from our online shop enter the unique code on your gift card in the “coupon code” box at the checkout. As if by magic, £10 (or your countries equivalent monetary value) will automatically be deducted from the total. Each gift card is unique and can only be used once but it is valid forever.

We’ve had some great offers for you already this year like our best sellers offer in July. We plan to have more so please stay tuned.

How do I get my free gift card?

So you’ve been day dreaming that prince charming will surprise you with that beach inspired necklace you’ve been drooling over? You’ve been lusting after that eco silver ring for a while now and haven’t taken the plunge? Wait no longer. If you order anything this month you’ll automatically receive a free gift card with your order. Why not give it to prince charming as a subtle hint? Or you could order a ring size tool to claim your gift card.

To claim your gift card worth £10 all you have to do is place an order at Elizabeth Anne Norris jewellery before the end of August 2018. It’s really as simple as that.

Upcycle Recycle Exhibition Lancaster

Upcycle Recycle Exhibition Lancaster

Upcycle Recycle Exhibition Lancaster

You can currently find a handpicked selection of my recycled sterling silver jewellery exhibited in the “Upcycle Recycle” show at Arteria with Gallery 23 in Lancaster.

Showcasing Design with Conscience

My invitation to join the artists exhibiting in Upcycle Recycle was gratefully received and my handmade eco friendly jewellery is now part of a fantastic collection of art, design and craft that is created with conscience. You’ll find pieces like the Squares and Pearls charm bangle (shown below) and others from my Floral Hearts and Squares and Pearls Collections, all made from 100% recycled sterling silver.

The Artists at Upcycle Recycle

The exhibits on display at Arteria with Gallery 23, Lancaster, are the works of predominantly local and national artists and designers. The expo features wall art, plinth work, textiles, jewellery and gifts, all of which is handmade with the environment in mind. The eclectic mix of works on show are indicative of how refined and desirable upcycled and recycled design can be.

The ethos of the exhibition is being carried through to the marketing of the event. The postal invitation (shown) is printed on brown 100% recycled card that is manufactured using wind power. The illustration on the front of the invitation is the work of Ruth Allen who is exhibiting in the show. The font used on the invitation is an “eco font” it has dots running through the centre of the letters and so it only uses half the ink when printed.

Plan Your Visit to Upcycle Recycle

The Upcycle Recycle exhibition at Arteria with Gallery 23 in Lancaster runs from 17 May through to 6 October 2018. For more information and to plan your visit go to http://www.arteriashop.co.uk/handmade/

If you don’t live near Lancaster you are always welcome to browse our eco friendly jewellery collections online here.

Valentines picks with hearts and flowers

It’s always lovely to have my jewellery designs recognised. Seeing my personalised floral heart pendant in pride of place in the latest Ethical Market newsletter is no exception. Thank you Ethical Market!

Eco-friendly Valentines Day gift ideas

I was excited to see my personalised floral heart pendant as one of the Valentine’s Day gift ideas picked by Ethical Market. For anyone who loves hearts and flowers this sterling silver pendant ticks all the boxes as a perfect Valentines gift. Not only is this beautiful pendant handmade and made to order in 100% recycled silver but each one is made unique with a personal name, date or message on the back.

There are four silver heart necklaces for customers to choose from and they’re all available to order online. With different sizes and finishes on offer you may want to click here to browse the options.

How the pendant is made

Using traditional jewellery making techniques a softened sheet of recycled silver is rolled between steel rollers to apply the floral design. Then, using a jeweller’s saw, each heart is hand cut and stamped with a message on the reverse using number and letter punches. The back of the pendant is polished using a buffing wheel while the front is giving a matte white finish, which is a personal favourite of mine. The pendant is domed in a doming block to give depth and shape before hanging it on a long sterling silver chain. I think you’ll agree that this heart necklace would be a wonderful gift to receive on Valentine’s Day.

If you haven’t already, you can head over to see what other valentines gift ideas ethical market have selected here.

Order yours for your Valentine

Although each personalised floral heart pendant is handmade to order there is still plenty of time for me to make yours for you. It will be delivered directly to your door before 14 February, in eco friendly packaging of course. Click here for full details about this pretty necklace and to order yours.
