Well London Jewellery Week seemed to come and go in a flash!

There were lots of events all over town, but we were of course launching our ‘Chrysanthemum’ collection at Liberty.  Our newest team member Jutta was on hand to offer advice, as were Susie Lee and Suzy.A, and they were pleased to report that everyone loved the new pieces.

Also that week, Alex and myself were lucky enough to be invited to the launch of Basil’s Beach Bar at The Goring Hotel by Mango PR.

Welcome to Mustique in London!

The garden of the hotel has been turned into a mini beach complete with a bar shack for the summer, so there was rum punch and lots of delicious barbecued food on offer…..

Barbecued fish and prawns with mango salsa - yum!

And mini fondant ice creams for desert.

The garden has been given quite a transformation, from it’s normal traditional English appearance.

Even the garden's statue entered into the spirit of things....

Can't say we spotted any though!

Although I wore a tropical dress to fit in with the beach theme, it was a bit too chilly to take my jacket off!

The Goring is a very historical hotel, just over 100 years old, and still being run by the founding family. It of course shot to fame recently as the hotel of choice for the Middleton family the night before the Royal Wedding – so we were excited to see them in attendance!  It didn’t really seem appropriate to start trying to chat to Pippa about Alex Monroe jewellery, but she did look lovely as ever……

We have a project with the hotel in the pipeline, it’s something a bit different, so watch this space for news on that……!

We are still waiting to move into our new building and shop – we are really looking forward to what will be a new era for Alex Monroe, but at the moment have no definite news……

But we will of course keep you posted…..thank you for your patience!

As our studio is a bit out of the way, we love it when we have shopping events and get the chance to meet our lovely customers.  So thank you to everyone who came along to our pop-up shop at Penhaligon’s on Tuesday, we all had a great day!

We had lots of great support from like-minded companies which really made the day complete.  We of course love Penhaligon’s who kindly let us use their consultation room for the shop, and by the end of the day we were all smelling beautiful and fully converted from wearing ‘designer’ fragrances.

We really wanted to create an ideal shopping experience, and Matt and Marc from Planet of the Grapes gave us some lovely fizz for everyone to sip as they browsed. We also gave a goodie bag with every purchase, which contained some little treats for the way home – Burt’s Chips and Frü Puds.

Goodie Bags!

There seems to be quite a bit of excitement about our new ‘Peacock & the Crow’ collection, so don’t worry if you couldn’t make it along, as it will be uploaded onto the site in the next couple of weeks – keep your eyes peeled! But in the mean time, here are some images from the day:

The setting of Penhaligon's really created an atmosphere for the Jewellery.

Classic Alex Monroe pieces.

Yesterday we took it in turns to whizz off to Little 15 in Cullum Street to help out Jutta with her launch of the collection, but it was too busy to take any pics!

Susie is going to be up bright and early tomorrow to visit Silverado’s new Lewes shop for a Trunk Show – lots of lovely one-offs as usual, and Silverado will also have the ‘Peacock & the Crow’ in stock.  We will be back down at their Brighton store on Saturday the 10th of July.

We are looking forward to Alex’s return from Japan to hear all about what he’s been up to, but in the mean time, look who we’ve spotted wearing AM recently!

New X-Factor presenter Konnie Huq wears a Dragonfly Necklace.

And we think Kimberley Walsh looks great in our Peacock Feather Earrings.

Have a great weekend everyone!  Emma x

We are very excited about our next Trunk Show, this time traveling to Notting Hill to visit Ec One’s gorgeous boutique at 56 Ledbury Road.

The event will also mark the launch of ‘The Gardener’ at Ec One, and Alex will be popping in to say hello. It’s all happening next Thursday, the 25th of March, from 6-9pm.

We’ve been running our Trunk Shows for just over a year now, and the idea is that we visit our stockists with a special selection of individually made, one-off pieces, which are available exclusively at the event.

Here’s a little sneak at three of the pieces we will be taking along……you can view more on our Facebook page.

Big Silver Hoops with Gold-Plated Filigree Butterflies - Amazing!

Swinging Songbird Necklace.

Forget Me Not Heart Necklace - sooo cute!

Ec One will also be offering a special discount on the night, and recommend that you rsvp if you would like to attend. Drop a line to Katherine at press@econe.co.uk

As we can’t make it everywhere with the Trunk Show (although we’d love to!) we now have a ‘Trunk Show’ selection available on-line, so that our fans all over the world don’t miss out on the amazing opportunity to own an Alex Monroe one-off. But you need to be quick – there is literally only one of each piece!

We hope you can make it along next week – Suzy.A and Ulrikke will be helping out, and they are really looking forward to seeing you there!
