A Little Buzz of Inspiration, Fresh from the Bench Do you ever just sit out in the garden on a warm summer's afternoon, a proper cuppa by your side, and watch the world go by? I certainly do.

Point Of Elegance: Silver & Ruby Drop Earrings

Jessica Walker 10/08/2025 0
Morning Light on the Workbench At dawn the studio smells of warm metal and coffee, as I spread my sketches on the lightbox and let the day decide the tempo. In the quiet, a small idea takes shape—the notion that a piece of jewellery should feel like a whispered conversation rather than a loud statement. Point Of Elegance isn’t a slogan so much as the moment when balance and sparkle find their own language. Our Silver & Ruby Drop Earrings begin there, with a plan to keep the ruby’s fire alive while the sterling silver listens. The design starts with a simple hoop, but the heart of the piece lie...

A Little Something from the Heart: More Than Just Silver You know, sometimes the simplest things hold the grandest stories, don't they? I remember once, quite a few years back now, my gran handed me this tiny, smooth pebble she’d picked up from a beach trip we’d taken when I was just a nipper. It wasn't sparkly, it wasn't grand, but it was just so… her. And every time I held it, I felt that warmth, that connection. That little pebble, unassuming as it was, taught me something profound about what jewellery truly is – a tangible memory, a silent whisper of affection. This very idea is the bedroc...

A Whisper of Love, Hand-Forged Just for You Right, so, you know those moments, don't you? The ones where a fleeting glimpse, a shared smile, or even just the quiet rustle of leaves on a breezy afternoon sparks an idea, something truly special that just *has* to be brought into being. For me, here at AOL Special, it's those little nuggets of everyday magic that often kick off our most cherished designs. It’s a wonderful thing, seeing a glimmer of an idea, perhaps from a forgotten photo or a snippet of a song, begin to take form, first in my mind, then as a sketch, and eventually, as something t...
