How did Bella Rox come about and how long has the business been going?

The business has been going for around two years, starting initially as a creative hobby and a love for unique jewellery using natural stones and pearls.

Heart pendant from Bella Rox

What is the origin of the name Bella Rox?

I chose the name Bella Rox as the Italian word for beautiful is Bella. The Rox part refers to my interest in natural materials, in particular gemstones, as every piece is unique in its appearance.

Random question…What is your favourite pub food?

Hard to choose but I would probably say mozzarella, sundried tomato and pesto Panini with salad and chips; yum.

Describe the Bella Rox wedding jewellery in three words.

Handmade, Vintage, Unique

Pearl necklace from Bella Rox

Where do you get the inspiration for your collections?

I’m particularly inspired by 1920’s to 1960’s fashion and styling, as well as my love for natural items such as flowers and shells.

What’s your favourite piece that Bella Rox produces?

I think I would have to say our vintage inspired flower hair clip. It’s made with lots of sparkly Swarovski crystals, freshwater pearls and glass bicone beads which make this large vintage flower stunning. Costing only £35 it’s a perfect hair piece for your special day if you love that vintage charm, or just as great for that special evening out. It’s also perfect for bridesmaids of all ages and can be customised with the crystal and pearl colours of your choice.

Bespoken For Heirloom Collection

On the 1st March the new Heirloom collection from Bespoken For will be available to buy from www.bespokenfor.co.uk. Jenni Bush told us about the inspiration behind the collection…

“Oh Jerry, don’t let’s ask for the moon. We have the stars.” The last line from Now Voyager starring Bette Davies was the inspiration behind the Heirloom collection. I wanted my work to epitomise the glamour of women, the hidden qualities and depths we have.

I’ve always been a fan of old black and white movies and I found myself drawn more to watching them. From finding You Tube clips of old silent movies starring Mary Pickford where a raised eyebrow conveyed so much meaning.

After the royal wedding last year and the similarities between Kate’s dress and that of former actress Grace Kelly, I wanted to create bridal accessories that were timeless; classics which could be worn by daughter and granddaughter and still look as fresh and wonderful. In actual fact part of the new collection is named Grace in honour of such a beautiful woman.

The Grace range includes earrings, a necklace and veil, as well as a range of combs which sit perfectly with both vintage and modern style dresses. In fact one of my favourite pieces from the range is the Grace necklace which I could see another style icon Wallis Simpson wearing.

It’s fair to say that Hollywood had a huge influence on my designs this season. A wedding is a once in a lifetime experience, when all eyes are on you and you are centre stage throughout the proceedings. Although it’s good to remember that for the ceremony itself your guests will have a fleeting glance at you front view as you walk up the aisle or into the register office (and the range works perfectly for both), for the rest of the service all they will see is your back, so I’ve included backdrop necklaces which will shimmer under a veil and catch the light.

Which brings me to the other part of the collection I’ve simply entitled Heirloom. Again you’ll see inspiration from the golden age of film with a modern twist. With a slight Asian twist and more than a passing nod once more to the silent movies is the Heirloom Hair Cascade.

Holly Golightly (Breakfast at Tiffany’s) is a huge favourite of mine which of course I incorporated into the collection and indeed the photoshoot which accompanied it. Again I’ve kept the classic feel but brought it into the 21st Century with my own twists.

Tomorrow over at the  Adore by Chloe Blog I’ll be previewing more of the collection. In the meantime we have an Heirloom Necklace valued at £76 to give away. To enter click here.

Jenni Bush of Bespoken For is launching her new Heirloom collection by previewing it to three of her favourite bloggers; it just so happens we are one of them!

Jenni Bush - Bespoken ForWe’ll be kicking off the launch on Monday 27th February with an interview with Jenni where she will share the inspiration behind the collection . We’ll also have some exclusive sneak peeks and will be telling you how you can enter a competition to win the Heirloom Necklace worth £75.00.

On Tuesday 28th February, Jenni’s story continues with a look at the Grace range which forms part of the Heirloom collection. You’ll find that on the Adore by Chloe Blog.

On Wednesday 29th February Jenni will be previewing the Heirloom collection on Alison Tinlin’s blog Plans and Presents.

The whole collection will be available to buy from the Bespoken For website from 1st March, and the competition will run until 7th March 2012 – so spread the word.

The Royal Wedding might have had a strong influence in bringing tiaras back into fashion, but 2012 looks to be a big year for the statement bridal headband. Olivier Laudus is delighted to announce the addition of a fabulous range of new headband designs to their Artisan Collection.
