Kathleen's holiday Jewelspiration

Our new face of Orli Jewellery, Kathleen McDermott has been relaxing and sunning herself in the Canary Islands while we've been getting rained on back at home! We met up with Kathleen to see what she got up to on her holiday and to see if she enjoyed wearing the Orli Jewellery pieces that she had chosen before she jetted off.

Kathleen absolutely loved wearing the Key To My Heart Necklace and paired it with a vibrant green dress when she was on holiday which was a stunning evening look. She also wore our Fine Satin Heart Charm Bracelet (which you can see above) and made everyone, especially her Aunt, green with envy!

If you were at the With Kids Autumn Ball and Fashion Show on Friday night you would have seen that Kathleen was the host for the evening. We posted a picture onto our Facebook page of her looking as beautiful as ever (which you can see below) and asked you if you could spot which pieces of Orli Jewellery she was wearing.

One of the pieces she wore was our Chunky Satin Heart Necklace! We think the jewellery completed her outfit and made her sparkle!

What a fantastic event to be involved in which raised over £21, 000 for the children's charity!

We thought you might be interested to know more about these pieces so, we'll start by explaining the inspiration behind the 'Tree of Life' necklace shown here.

The Tree of Life Necklace

The tree symbolises life whilst growth is symbolised with the leaf. The bird is for peace and freedom (lot's of our pieces feature birds of peace and feelings of nature). In addition, we like to think you're life will feature some romance so we have included the well know and extremely popular Orli heart. All in all, it's a stunning piece of eye-catching jewellery that's sure to be a talking point.

Are you green with envy?

Happy Birthday to everyone who was born in August! You are lucky to have the beautiful green peridot as your birthstone.

If you're lucky enough to have a peridot gem stone, we think it's the perfect stone to wear in the summer with light pastel colours - bang on trend!

The peridot is one of the oldest gem stones and is still very popular today with its vibrant green and gold glistening tones. In fact, this gem stone is so old that it was once very popular in Egyptian jewellery from as early as the 2nd millennium B.C.

Even if you haven't been fortunate enough to get a peridot yet, you can still look and feel great with some of our more day-today versatile pieces. If you, or that special someone, is celebrating a birthday this month and you don't want to break the bank, why don't you spoil yourself with a hand finished gift from Orli? The star and Swarovski crystal charm bangle would definitely be on our wish-list! What would be on yours?

Must have Summer chic...

Ever wondered what jewellery to wear in the summer heat?

Make room in your jewellery box for the hottest new trend... 

Cuff Bracelets are the latest fashion trend and not only do they look great but they are a striking statement piece that gives a casual outfit the wow factor!

We have always considered the Cuff Bracelet to be 'boho-chic'; quite often celebrities such as Nicole Richie and Blake Lively are spotted wearing them.  Although, it seems that all the celebs are tapping into this hot summer trend; Rihanna was spotted wearing one with her swimsuit which goes to show that you can literally glam up any outfit.

They are most definitely a must have summer accessory and every girl should have one!

To get the effortlessly chic look this summer have a look at our stunning hand-finished Cuffs...

The History of Friendship Bracelets

One of our most popular pieces of jewellery is our delicately made friendship bracelets. They are the perfect gift to show someone how much you treasure their friendship. Although friendship bracelets are a huge current trend, they have a long history that we wanted to share with you.

The History of Friendship Bracelets

Friendship bracelets are handmade bracelets given as a gift to a special friend. Typically they are made from several strands of embroidery thread that have been entwined to make an intricate pattern. The knotting is a form of macramé; this uses knotting instead of weaving or knitting.

The making of friendship bracelets originates from Central America and was first seen in the USA in early 1970’s. It is tradition is to wear the bracelet until the threads wear down and fall off naturally to honour the hard work that was put into making it.

The friendship bracelet fashion has evolved and is now associated with not only the original woven threads from the USA; but incorporates European and far eastern threading techniques.  Patterns for more complex friendship bracelets are made from various different materials and many other contemporary styles introduce charms, symbols and mixed uses of crystals, gold, silver and precious stones to make a bracelet that is more out of the ordinary.

Orli Friendship bracelets 

Not only are friendship bracelets stunning and interesting, they also carry a sentimental value for the person who is giving the gift and the friend who wears it. Similarly, every piece of jewellery made at Orli is handmade and hand packaged with care and love; this is reflected in our trademark symbol- the love heart. Making our friendship bracelets the perfect gift for the most special people.
