We were very surprised and of course thrilled, to hear on Monday that we have been shortlisted - by public vote - in Sheerluxe’s first ever Online Shopping Awards!

Sheerluxe is a fantastic interactive shopping guide, so we feel really honoured that their subscribers have voted for us - a great big THANK YOU if you voted for us!

And now for the favour…….!  It would obviously be great if we could sit this trophy next to our ‘E-Tailer of the Year’ award, so we would LOVE it if you could vote for us in our category of ‘Best Fine Jewellery Online’…..To do so, just click this link! There are a lot of categories, but you can just vote for ours if you like!!

You will need to sign up to Sheerluxe, but you can opt in or out of their newsletters, which often contain great offers or discounts, infact, we have previously offered 15% off at alexmonroe.com with Sheerluxe.

In other news, Alex has readjusted to life back on his feet after two weeks on his bicycle, and is in the workshop as I type making new pieces…….  We have got lots of exciting projects on the go at the moment, so as always, watch this space for news!

We are constantly sending out Jewellery at the moment, and have new stockists in: Aberdeen, Eindhoven, Glasgow, Liege, Munich, Paris and Waterford - amongst others!  We try and keep the stockists page of the site as up to date as possible, so don’t forget to check for your nearest store selling Alex Monroe!  Overseas customers just need to click on the little globe.

We have to confess that our Trunk Show page has been looking a little bit sad over the last couple of weeks - we just couldn’t keep up with demand for the Fruity pieces - but I am now very excited to say that we are going TROPICAL!! Check out this little beauty……

Stunning Dragonfly & Rhodolite Ring with a tiny Diamond.

And our next actual Trunk Show is at Bloomsbury in Bristol, to celebrate their 2nd Birthday. The date for your diary is Saturday the 25th of September, and I will be in-store to offer advice and an insight into life at Alex Monroe HQ!

Thanks again for your support!

As usual life at AM HQ is non-stop!  Alex is currently pedaling away on his epic voyage from Land’s End to John O’Groats whilst Emma is taking a well deserved break in sunny Spain…..

But I don’t mind because this weekend I will be heading to the Seaside myself!!!

Our next fabulous Trunk Show Event will be hitting Silverado’s gorgeous Flagship Store in the heart of Brighton this Saturday 10th July!!!

The event will not only allow you to have a sneeky peek at our latest collection ‘The Peacock and The Crow’ but most importantly a chance to grab yourselves an exciting ‘one-off’ piece from our exclusive Trunk Show Collection.

Here is a little teaser of some of the pieces we will be taking along……….

Nautical Lovelies

Ooh Argh Captain!

Remember, each Trunk Show piece is a complete ‘one-off’ so when they are gone, they’re gone!!

And if there is something that catches your eye, you not only get the chance to win a cute Gold Baby Bee Necklace but walk away with a fantastic goody bag full of treats!!

Come along to 31 Bond Street, Brighton. I will be there helping out so please come and join me for a glass of champagne and a delicious cupcake or two……!

Look forward to seeing you there!

Have we got a treat for you this Friday afternoon! First up is a new archive charm collection just posted on the website. For this, we’ve brought together a collection of our favourite charms from past and present, and crafted them in a beautiful solid 18ct yellow gold.

Adorable little dog charm

There are so many to pick from. You can opt for a loose charm if you want to add it to your own chain, or alternatively choose a matching solid 18ct yellow gold bracelet or necklace to wear it on. Plus, if you’re finding it hard to decide, Ulrikke has created her perfect charm bracelet to act as inspiration.

That’s not all though! Susie L has been feverishly working through the heat today to put up some new Trunkshow pieces. Don’t dawdle though, because these new fruity wonders are sure to get snapped up quickly!

Have a great weekend everyone!

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!

A goblet of Earrings.

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

I’m off to visit Bloomsbury in Bristol this Thursday, the 6th of May, for our first West Country Trunk Show!

All the gang at Bloomsbury are very excited, and I can’t wait for everyone to see the selection of pieces we are taking - there are lots of extra-pretty stone set pieces that are especially gorgeous!

The event is running all day, from 10-8pm, so plenty of opportunity to come and say hello and bag yourself a one-off Alex Monroe piece.  Bloomsbury will also be fully stocked with Feathers, Bees and the like - and are also running a competition to win a Bumblebee, so if you haven’t got one already pop in and see if you’re in luck!

Come and see us!

The store is in the new Cabot Circus development in the centre of Bristol, in the Quakers Friars area.  Hope to see you there, Emma x

Tomorrow we will be at Ede and Ravenscroft, 92 Chancery Lane, from 4-8pm with a brand new selection of one-off Trunk Show pieces.  The shop is being decorated as I type by Hannah and her team, and it’s sounding gorgeous, with lots of lovely flowers, plus Champagne refreshments!

Alex will be popping by, and myself and Rakhi will also be on hand to answer any questions you may have on the jewellery or the company…….

My absolute favourite piece we are taking is this one……just had to share it!

Pearly Bunny Ring!

Hope to see you there, Emma x

We seem to be Trunk Show crazy at the moment, with pieces being snapped up from our on-line selection in minutes! (Or at least hours!)

If you would like to come and see what all the fuss is about, why not pop along to Ede & Ravenscroft next Thursday, the 22nd of April?

Their lovely team of ladies will be only too pleased to offer you a glass of champagne while you have a little browse, and the event runs from 4-8pm.  They will also have a new delivery of stock (Bees, Owls, Birds….) alongside those extra-special one-offs.

Come and see us at Ede & Ravenscroft!

Next up will be Bloomsbury in Bristol, on the 6th of May - for all of our West Country fans!

More details will follow on our blog, but don’t forget to join our Facebook page too, for up-to-the minute and sometimes exclusive news!

I hope everyone had a nice Easter, and didn’t over-indulge too much….we’re always trying to ‘be good’ here at AMHQ, but we always seem to have a huge pile of chocolate / biscuits / cake so it’s tricky!

We love InStyle Magazine anyway, as they are always featuring our pieces, but especially so this month, as they are running a ‘Golden Ticket’ giveaway with thousands of brilliant prizes, including a trip to Greece, a Chloe bag, bed and breakfast at a Malmaison Hotel, and of course some Alex Monroe goodies!

We have offered FIVE £100 Gift Vouchers to be used on our website - so we hope this will cheer you up while we are waiting for Spring to arrive!

Just purchase the May issue of InStyle, and find your Willy Wonka style ticket for a chance to win. You will then need to register the magic number online.

Good Luck!!

Our Trunk Show concept seems to be going from strength to strength, and on the 22nd of this month we are off to Madeleine Hamilton in Chancery Lane, then I’ll be making my way to Bloomsbury in Bristol on the 6th of May for our first West Country event! Watch this space for further details nearer the time.

Net-A-Porter has been in the news a lot recently, with big shares being sold, and we are so proud that we are part of their business. They have a great capsule collection of Alex Monroe, and do amazing product and model shots of the pieces, for those of you who want to see our pieces being worn before you purchase.

Don’t forget that there are some great images of our pieces being worn on the press page of our site. Most recently, the lovely Sophie at Look magazine did this great feature, using five of our Rings on one shot! Check it out:

We especially love the stacked Twig Rings.

Finally, I just had to share this gorgeous picture of our adorable Love Birds Ring, sent to us by Sophie Peart, the loving owner of ‘Harry and Mary’ as she calls them!

Courtesy of Sophie Peart - thanks Sophie!

Good luck with the InStyle competition, and I’ll be in touch again soon!

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!
