Ilana Richardson and Guests – Artists Open House

Please be invited to my next show, which happens all through May 2017, part of Artists Open Houses in Brighton. I’m so pleased to have been invited back to Ilana Richardson’s house for an exhibition of Art, Ceramics, Photography and of course my Jewellery designs. The show will be hosted by established watercolour artist Ilana in her own home. Ilana’s artwork always makes me yearn for travel as she captures beautiful Mediterranean locations that bring back happy holiday memories and chilled sunny vibes.

Gift Suggestion – Deer Jewellery Stands

Gift Suggestion – Deer Jewellery Stands

Amanda Coleman Deer Jewellery Stands 1

Deer Jewellery Stands

You may have seen my earlier post about the ceramic ring dish gift suggestion. This is the next in the series and and I have more to come so stay tuned.

I found these cute deer jewellery stands while browsing on Etsy. I love them so much so I thought I’d share them with you as a gift suggestion. Wouldn’t they make a lovely Christmas gift for those with loads of jewellery and nowhere to display it?

The design for the deer stands by Amanda Coleman came about in 2012 as a great display at exhibitions. Her stockists and customers took great interest in them. As a result, she decided to offer them in her shop for people to use at home. The idea of the jewellery stands is simplicity, simple shapes, slotted together to make beautiful decorative objects in their own right. They have the added bonus of being a perfect way to store jewellery at home.

Gift Ready Jewellery Stands

All the jewellery stands are flat packed so they are really easy to send as gifts. The wall mounted stand is a cheeky take on the stag head trophies so often found in grand old country houses. This design is great for necklaces as any length of chain can be hung from the antlers. They’re all designed and made in the UK using responsibly sourced wood.

Find out more about Amanda’s jewellery stands here – http://amandacoleman.co.uk/collections/jewellery-stands

Amanda is also a fellow jeweller and you can read about her journey into jewellery making and her inspiration here:  http://amandacoleman.co.uk/pages/about

What do you think of these deer stands? Who would you give one to? Please leave a comment below as I’d love to know. Thanks.
