Alex Monroe at the Chosen Wedding Fair

Friday, April 19th, 2013

After the success of our ‘Tie the Knot’ Wedding week, we thought we’d continue celebrating all things wedding!
So on Sunday 5th May we’ll be exhibiting at Chosen Wedding Fair in the beautiful setting of Chelsea Old Town Hall on Kings Road.

Chosen Wedding fair offers a selection of hand-picked designers, offering bespoke and unique options to inspire you for your perfect wedding. It has been organized by bride-to-be and Alex Monroe fan, Kiki Sunshine. Kiki struggled to find exactly what she was looking for when arranging her big day, so to help other brides looking for more unique and individual nuptials like herself she gathered together an array of designers in a wedding fair with a difference! Chelsea Old Town Hall will be transformed, filled with designers, live musical entertainment, DIY  wedding accessories, hair and make up and Marshmallow Apothecary…we’re not sure what this is, but we know that we can’t wait! Yum! We’re very excited to be part of an event that celebrates hand made and unique pieces, perfect for your special day!


We’ll be showcasing not only our 18ct Goldcrest collection of Engagement and Wedding rings, but our brand new cufflink collection and a selection of pieces we think would be perfect for any bride or bridesmaid to wear on the big day.

We look forward to seeing you there!

We look forward to seeing you there!

Some of our ‘Goldcrest’ 18ct Fine Jewellery rings:

· Morganite Eyebright Ring – £675.00 ·
· White Dream Diamond Ring & matching Band ·
· 5mm Diamond Eyebright Ring £5,500 ·

Goldcrest Fine Jewellery

Thursday, March 28th, 2013

Over the last few years, we have had more and more enquiries from customers who have wanted to extend their love of all things Alex Monroe into pieces of jewellery which they would truly wear forever, their engagement and wedding rings.

We now have a bespoke department and regularly make wonderful bespoke pieces for lovely customers who come and see us here at Snowsfields.

But what if you want a piece of solid gold Alex Monroe jewellery that isn’t bespoke?

This is where the idea for ‘Goldcrest‘ was born, our first major outing into fine jewellery.

Making existing designs in solid gold didn’t seem exciting enough….and the dramatic rises in the price of gold, would mean that even pieces in Alex’s delicate style would be incredibly expensive….so we decided to go even smaller, and came up with the ‘Teeny Tinies’ – recreating some of our most iconic pieces in miniature!

To give you an idea of scale, here is the gorgeous ‘Game of Thrones’ actress Emilia Clarke, wearing our Teeny Tiny Bumblebee:

And we now offer a selection of pretty wedding and engagement rings, which you can purchase ‘off the peg’ so to speak!  Made in Alex’s trademark detailed style, you can chose from sparkly diamonds, or gorgeous gemstones in mouth-watering sorbet colours ….

In addition to our website and the Alex Monroe Boutique, you can also view and purchase Goldcrest pieces in the following stockists:

BHLDN

Charles Fish, Canary Wharf, London

Ede & Ravenscroft, Chancery Lane, London

Fenwick, Bond Street, London

Fortnum & Mason, Piccadilly, London

Harrods, Knightsbridge, London

Liberty, Regent Street, London

Room Nine, Bonn, Germany

Silverado, Brighton

Sweet Pea, Primrose Hill, London

We LOVE Goldcrest and hope you will too.
