On Thursday 6th October we held an exclusive party for our loyal Cheltenham customers to showcase some gorgeous new autumn designs from London designer Jianhui and our new supplier Jax. The champagne was flowing and guests enjoyed chocolate and strawberries as they browsed the new collections. We were delighted to receive such positive feedback and can't wait to show off the new designs in the other branches! New additions from Jianhui include sunflower-inspired crystal cluster bracelets and necklaces, available in plum, midnight blue and clear crystal:
