Style Theory: Beautiful, delicate, hand made, jewellery in gold and silver at affordable prices...Cabbage White England are all of this and more..
I was delighted to be invited by Kelly Smithson, founder of Cabbage White England to her studio to find out a little more about the jewellery making process, what inspires her designs and the Cabbage White England ethos along with lots of coffee and generally good old chat! Kelly is an accomplished silversmith with a real passion for beautiful jewellery and a fabulous eye for design. Each piece of jewellery is handmade in the UK, Kelly and her team (the lovely Karen), design each piece, finding inspiration from nature. They also scour antique shops and vintage markets for charms which they use as inspiration and handcast in the UK to make each and every piece of jewellery unique.

Me firing a million questions, I loved seeing the jewellery being made.. |
Each piece is handmade from gold vermeil (high quality gold plated silver) or solid silver, the designs are intricate and delicate.

Here is my edit of my favourite pieces from the collections..
|
Double Hoop Necklace £96 (with discount £72) |
I have this and completely adore it, it has two lengths you can fasten it with (most of the necklaces do which is fab) wear it by itself or layer it with other fine necklaces,
|
Gold Flower Double Hoop Earrings £77 (with discount £57.75) |
Completely obsessed with these hoop earrings, Kelly was wearing them when I visited and they look amazing on! I have asked my husband for these for Easter (I don't normally get a present, or an an egg or anything actually but I thought I may ask..you never know!? and I have a code..may appeal?!)
|
Gold and Silver Pineapple Necklace £70 (with discount £52.50) |
Love a pineapple, this will look amazing in the summer layers with other shorter gold necklaces with a camisole top, a pair of pale blue levis and tan sandals, summer perfection.
|
Gold Double Farthing Necklace £68 (with discount £51) |
This is similar to a necklace Holly Willlougby always wears, I love it, it is the perfect length (has two lengths, I wear the shortest) and was cast from vintage farthing coins.
|
Gold Sea Urchin Bangle £88 (with discount £66) |
Such a beautiful summer bangle, this was the urchin Kelly's son found on a beach in Greece, they handcast it in the UK, so unusual, a really beautiful bangle.
|
Gold Love Bird Bangle £125 (with discount £93.75) |
This would make the most beautiful anniversary gift, birthday gift. It comes in a thicker bangle (this one or a skinny bangle) Layer with gold bangles for an eyecatching look.
|
Gold Star Link Bracelet £47 (with discount £35.25) |
A beautiful gift for any stars in your life. The open gold star design is stunning and again I would layer this up with lots of gold and silver bangles and bracelets for the summer.
|
Teapot Skinny Bangle £88 (with discount £66) |
So cute and the perfect stacking bangle..
So so many gorgeous pieces and don't forget to use the discount code fashionlift25 to get the discounted prices (I hope my maths is right?!) The code is valid until Easter Sunday.
Thank you to the lovely Kelly and Karen for inviting me to their workshop, I had the most fab, sunny morning, until next time Fran xxxx
*I was gifted the necklaces but under no obligation to write about them, I just love the jewellery and wanted to share it with you and R if you are actually reading this down to the small print..the earrings would be lovely for Easter ;-)
