Claudia Bradby Jewellery |
Claudia Bradby Jewellery launched in 1999 and is known as an exceptional British jewellery brand renowned for timeless and elegant pieces of silver and pearl jewellery. Fourteen years on, Claudia is as passionate as ever and still personally designs each collection and travels the world to source the "finest pieces".
Speaking about her designs Claudia said:
'We all know that one size doesn't fit all, so I set out to create a collection that would work across a broad range of styles and situations - and I still hold to the mantra that each piece really must really earn its keep in your wardrobe. I design very much bearing in mind how a piece will be worn and used, drawing on influences all around me from a stormy night sky to the luxury seen on the catwalk.'
As many of you already know, when Kate was working as an accessories buyer for Junior Jigsaw, Claudia's designs caught her eye and she approached the jewellery designer which led to a collaboration resulting in the design of beautiful pieces including the £49.50 Kate Hoop Earrings; featuring silver and rose quartz charms from the £57 Kate Quartz Necklace, both of these items look particularly striking worn together.

Claudia thoroughly enjoyed working with Kate:
'Her vision was quite simple and classic. She was so straightforward, warm and bright that I remember thinking William was lucky to be going out with her.'

I was delighted to have the opportunity to review two pieces from the New Modern British Pearls Collection. The £40.50 Alexander Silver Earrings are a gorgeous pair of cool-toned earrings and look great with blues, greys and neutral colours. They feel incredibly light to wear, my sister tried them on and fell in love with them. I think they're an excellent way to incorporate pearls into your wardrobe especially if you're quite young and building your collection. The Alexandra are also available in White Pearls.
The £93 Ines Necklace is a stellar piece. The molten silver pearl necklace reworks the classic pearl look with elegant style. It is available in two lengths 63 cm and 87 cm. I do love silver pearls and what they add to an outfit. I've worn them with pinks, blush tones and black.
The collection is all about classic pearls and simple designs which are perfect for the bridal party or for achieving iconic looks. Some of my favourites are the £33 Peregrina Pearl Charm, the £73.50 Peregrina Pearl Pendant, the £64.50 Sophia Bracelet and the £108 44cm Sophia Pearl Necklace.

The Deco Collection embraces the new-found freedom and glamour of the roaring twenties. Gorgeous longer-length necklaces and tasselled earrings tie in beautifully with the Art Deco fashion influences of Spring/Summer 2013.

I know a huge number of you adore Downton Abbey as much as I do and this collection recreates that era whilst offering a modern twist. I very much love the idea of jewellery that add a classic and sophisticated edge to a daytime look and complete an evening look. It's rare to find jewellery that can fulfil this brief but I believe the Deco collection does.

A striking bracelet is a wonderful addition to ones collection. Below we look at the £49.50 (reduced from £99) Willow Bracelet and the beautiful £138 Biography Bracelet. I've had the Biography Bracelet for some time and it really is a quality piece and so wearable. It transforms any outfit, looking equally stylish with a silk blouse and skinny jeans or a little black dress.

Finally, for those of you who like some colour in your jewellery take a look at the Cerulean Hoop Earrings and the Raspberry Hoop Earrings. Both available for £59. The raspberry is most eye-catching due to the combination of pink, opal and gold. The earrings are 16 mm in length and hang from gold plated French hook.

You're very welcome Kate! I'm sure the pieces will look beautiful on you! Do let me know what you team them with :)
DeleteI have fallen in love with Claudia's jewellery thanks to you, Charlotte! My husband gifted me the beautiful Paloma necklace for Christmas, and I absolutely love it! I see at least 12 items that I'll be adding to my wish list this year! Thanks so much for the beautiful post!
ReplyDeleteYour husband has excellent taste Meghan. The Paloma is *beautiful*. The combination of the diamond cut labradorite stones and pearls looks magnificent.
DeleteI want to second what you said Megan and thank Charlotte for introducing me to Claudia Bradby jewellery. I ordered the alexandra earrings first then ordered two pieces in the sale last month and plan to use the code this week. My collection is starting to build very nicely. I love seeing a classy site like this working with a classy jewellery brand and thanks for suggesting colours that work well with various pieces Charlotte.

I'll be in London this April (so excited!) Is there any store her jewelry can be purchased in or is it only available online?
ReplyDeleteLaura in Colorado
Hello Laura, I will have an answer for you some part of today regarding whether or not the pieces can be purchased in London :)
DeleteHi Laura,
DeleteSarah from Claudia Bradby just let me know John Lewis stocks a diffusion range in London on Oxford St and Stratford as well as Peter Jones in Sloane Square!
Woo hoo! Thanks for researching and finding this out. Sloane Square - here I come!
DeleteOhhh, my birthday is next week! I might be ordering my own presents this year! Thank you Claudia and Charlotte! :)
ReplyDeleteKate if I don't hear from you for awhile. You have a perfectly Lovely birthday :)
DeleteA sunny hello to your family from CA.
Lovely jewelry. I miss Kate's jewelry from her single days. I guess she was younger too. But I think she has tried to present herself in a more serious and somber way toning down her accessories and I miss the old stuff.
ReplyDeleteThat blue Temperley lace gown was one of my favorites on that tour. The pearl bobby pins were a gorgeous addition to the outfit. I love lace and love her hair up.
Anyway... I was incorrectly thinking their 2nd anniversary would also mark her 2nd anniversary as a royal, but then came across this article that reminded me she has already marked her second anniversary with official engagements. Wow, time flies...

Love the pair of claudia bradby jewellery love the pieces of earings maybe i buy next week where is the store charlotte meanwhile prince harry and new girlfriend on the cover of hello magazine plus the the duchess kate royal bump
ReplyDeleteHi Charlotte, Just saw pictures purported to be Kate out with Luop. Always welcome a chance to see the little pooch but will be glad when she does more official engagments so less emphasis on her every move.
ReplyDeleteThis is intricately designed incredible jewellery collection, I would like to say wow, the best collection i have ever seen in my life.
