Hi there,

We thought it might be fun to do a little film about buying gifts for Christmas pressies. To be entirely honest, it’s really aimed at Men, being the ones who are generally lost at this time of year. So ladies, point your blokes in this direction, and men, hope this is at least a teeny bit helpful. Big thanks to Emma, Suzy A, and Tom behind the camera, and of course to Little 15.

P.S. We’ll probably be making some more of these as the big day approaches, but as Jutta from Little 15 says, “Don’t leave it too late!”

Happy Shopping!

Alex and the gang

Part 5 – as there just seems to be too much news this month!

This week has been pretty busy, with our auction for the Burt’s Bees Ring going live on Monday lunchtime. All proceeds go straight to the BBKA – so get bidding!

Alex has also been working on a very exclusive collaboration with on-line luxury jewellery brand Astley Clarke, which also launched this week.

Forget Me Not Earrings in Silver and Gold Plate Mix.

It’s a very pretty capsule collection in Silver and Gold-Plate mix with Diamonds, and also features three show-stopping pieces in 18ct gold. Check it out here!

Very excitingly, we spotted girl of the moment, Emma Watson sporting our Bumblebee Necklace as she hit New York on the Harry Potter tour……

Emma's stunning new image...

.....with a little help from our Rosa Stud Earrings!

Emma is also a fan of our Rosa Damasca Stud Earrings, favouring the super-cool Black Ruthenium finish that we developed exclusively for Net-A-Porter……

Meanwhile, we started our run of Trunk Shows, visiting Jutta at Little 15 where we also did some filming….watch this space for the results…..! (*Cringe!*)

Next up, it’s Silverado in Brighton tomorrow morning – hope to see you there!

The next month or so is going to be pretty manic here at AMHQ, but that’s not going to stop us from having some fun too……

We have SIX Trunk Shows planned over the few weeks, they are all London and Brighton based, so apologies to anyone further afield, but hopefully there will be a time & place for you!  Each store has be assigned their own piece (check out the images….) which will be available only there – so doubly exclusive!

First up is Little 15, next Thursday, the 18th of November. They are on Cullum Street in the City, and it all kicks off from Midday until 8pm.  Little 15 will be offering an amazing 20% off Alex Monroe (excluding the Trunk Show pieces)

Only at Little 15: Tiny Butterfly & Blackberry Loop Necklace, £144

On Saturday the 20th November we will be at Silverado in Brighton, for some fun with Tea, Cakes and Champagne! Silverado are offering 15% off Alex Monroe, and a goodie bag with purchase. There will also be a raffle for one of our cute Key Necklaces.

Silverado's special piece: Posy and Bird Heart Necklace, £135

Thursday 25th and Friday 26th of November we will be at Fenwick on Bond Street, who have a great new jewellery department, so we are looking forward meeting everyone who comes along.

Exclusive to Fenwick: Poppy & Cornelian Loop Necklace £144

Thursday the 2nd of December, we have double events! We are at Ede & Ravenscroft, Chancery Lane and Sefton on Upper Street.  Both events are running from 4-8pm, with some rather fabulous refreshments!  Check out their exclusives here:

Cherry Blossom Hoop Earrings with Pink Sapphires, £195 (Ede & Ravenscroft)

Sefton: Honeydew Ring with Citrines & Tourmaline, £225

We will be rounding off our Trunk Show marathon at Liberty on Friday the 3rd and Saturday the 4th of December, with lots more goodies including this beautiful necklace:

Cherry Blossom & Butterfly Branch Necklace with Pink Tourmaline & Ruby, £195

We all really enjoy getting out and about visiting our lovely stockists and meeting customers, so do come along and say hello!

Lastly, we can now also reveal that from Monday we will be auctioning this AMAZING Ring to raise money for the BBKA……

Burt's Bees / BBKA Limited Edition Honeybee Ring

We have collaborated with Burt’s Bees (who by the way, make the best lip balm ever!) on this exciting project, to promote their new Radiance range of products.  The Ring is one of a very limited number, and is a mix of Silver and Gold-Plate, with three Diamonds and a honey coloured Sapphire.  All proceeds from the auction will go to the BBKA to help the plight of the British Honey Bee.

The auction runs from the 15th November – 15th December, so that someone will have the chance of receiving a very special Christmas present! The winner will also receive a Burt’s Bees Radiance kit.

Burt's Bees Radiance Kit

There will also be opportunities in the New Year to win this exclusive Ring, but the auction will be the only way of securing one. When the bidding finishes, we will make the Ring especially for the winner, in their size.

PHEW – There is still more news, but I think that will have to be it for now!

Have a great weekend everyone! Emma x

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.

41 Wellington Street, Covent Garden

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:

Peacock & the Crow display, complete with Black & Gold Birdcages!

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

Wow – we are soooo busy at the moment…..!

Alex is off to Japan on Sunday, so we have all been helping him prepare for his trip.  He will be visiting clients and doing Trunk Shows in HP Bijoux in Shinjuku, Goldie in Shibuya, and Goldie in Osaka – very exciting for our customers all the way in Japan!

But back here in London……

Tuesday the 8th of June marks our very special launch of ‘The Peacock and the Crow’ collection, as part of London Jewellery Week.

Tuesday 8th June - 'Peacock & the Crow' Pop-Up Shop!

We are having a one day pop-up shop in the lovely Covent Garden Penhaligon’s store, 41 Wellington Street.

Join us there from 11am -7pm for your first chance to purchase this exciting new collection – plus we also be selling Alex Monroe ‘Classics’ too.

There will be some lovely fizz to sip as you shop supplied by the amazing Planet of the Grapes, and everyone will receive a goodie bag upon purchase,  containing treats from Penhaligon’s, Frü Puds and Burts Chips – plus a 20% off voucher for your next alexmonroe.com order!

For anyone who can’t make it on Tuesday, don’t worry as we will be at Little 15 for the second ‘Peacock & the Crow’ event, on Thursday the 10th of June.  Little 15 can be found at 15 Cullum Street, EC3M 7JJ.

The Alex Monroe gang will be calling in at this event too, which kicks off with drinks at Midday and runs until 8pm.  Little 15 are offering 20% off to their Select Card holders, check their website for details.

We were really pleased when Silverado told us about their new shop in Lewes – they’ve been trying to buy a property there for ages, but it looks well worth the wait!

Look at the lovely collection of hand mirrors on the wall!

So…..Susie will be heading down on Saturday the 12th of June for a Trunk Show!  As usual there will be lots of one-offs, plus a raffle prize, and yes, they will have a delivery of ‘Peacock and the Crow’ too!

On Saturday the 10th of July we will be back down in Sussex to visit Silverado’s Brighton store with a Trunk Show – lots of dates for your diaries!

So there is a LOT of jewellery being made at the moment, lots of parcels to pack, emails to answer…..I need a lie down just thinking about it!

But it’s all going to be lots of fun so come and say hello!

Just to let you know, Jutta at Little 15 is running a competition, kind of a Prize Draw,for our upcoming Trunk Show. Just click on the pic below to enter…

Little 15 competition

We did a great press breakfast at Harrods this morning. All the gorgeous glam press girls and nibbles and chat. I looked suitably scruffy as usual, eating all the nibbles I could get, and stayed around for the ‘Meet the expert’ day. Bought some fab chocs for Valentines day from  Holdsworth. After trying a few (!) I couldn’t resist. Besides, they’re hand made in Derbyshire. We like hand made in the UK. Yummie.

Stopped off at Panter and Hall on my way back and bought this print. Couldn’t resist it.
