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......
Pippa looking radiant as she left the party.
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!
