The inside story

The foundation Collection was designed to meet all your needs..

These pieces are designed to be put on first, wear all the time and layer with your other jewellery... 

they look pretty by themselves and fabulous with most other pieces of jennymillsjewellery.

Just like foundation garments, what you put on first affects how you feel all day... :o)

The packaging is also a carefully designed and significant part of the foundation collection.

A cute little round tin with a clear lid contrasts with the very beautiful swiss lace draw string gift pouch inside.  The idea is to emphasise the simplicity and quality of each piece, while showing you that nothing can take away from the appeal of these pretty pieces!

The perfect gift!  

The complete package is easy to post... suits everybody... very affordable and yet still very appropriate to the person who has everything... else!

Very popular for the bride as a gift to her special attendants on her big day...

What’s inside your little tin...

Sterling silver or gold filled very fine snake chain support your necklace and bracelet... flexible and light to allow your swarovski crystal feature to hang beautifully and sparkle with no distractions!

The clasp is a fine quality sterling or gold filled trigger clasp, also light enough to stay at the back... and sit nicely when worn. 

The crystals are superb swarovski crystal in neutral colours to go with anything and anybody!   There are several exciting styles available... please refer to the website to choose which style you would like... hover your mouse over this page to find the many links to my web site...

The earrings are my favourite... 

I think we all need a pair of these... for work, for everyday, and even for night... these are the perfect foundation piece!  The fine quality  earwires are available in sterling silver or gold filled and are small and comfortable in the ears... short and unassuming... perfect! 

I wear these pieces, my beautiful daughters all wear them and many of you already wear them as well!  They have been bought for the wedding party, as a gift from the bride to her special girls...   for birthday gifts to a special friend, work colleague or that difficult to buy for friend.  These are a perfect idea for the gift cupboard... there when needed for Christmas or that special day in the life of someone dear to you... perfect for graduation!

to be noticed... to wear often... to enjoy

I will be looking for you at "the market"

JennyMillsJewellery will again be at "the Market" on Sunday...  love to see you there.

I will have some new pieces to view,   and also some nice new cuff links... at a very reasonable price and packaged for him!

As you have come to expect there will be my special little box of earrings to tempt you... these are simple and perfect for every day... made from sterling silver and gems, swarovski crystal, cubic zirconium  or pearl.  At only $20 it would be a good idea to buy some of these to pop in the "gift" draw for Christmas and for birthdays throughout the year.  They include a pretty gift bag so they look great and are secure and together in your jewellery draw.

As well will I will have some amazing and very unusual cocktail rings and leather cuff bracelets,  designed for the less conservative buyer!! 

So even though it’s Dad’s day on Sunday… why not pop in for a bit of a browse and see what you can find to top off your day!

Introduce yourself to me if you have read my blog or are a friend of mine on Facebook… I’d love to put a face to the name…    :o)

the market is held at the Masonic Temple no. 3 Sandy Bay Rd (directly opposite St David's Park) Hobart, Tasmania 7000

For the Fathers

Ok... so I made some crystal cuff links for our men for Father's Day... 

you know I don't have much for the boys on my website and thought they might look handsome in some slick but sparkly cuff links with their crisp white dinner shirts...

well...

props to the girls! they came up with some amazing ideas of how they could wear these cuff links themselves... hahaaa I'm impressed and I'd love to see some photos girls!!!

  

Here's hoping the Father's out there do in fact manage to at least get to borrow some of these cuff links from their partners...

Me and You and Bosso & Boo

JennyMillsJewellery and Bosso and Boo Restaurant and Lounge Bar will be combining to create an ambient shopping experience for you and your friends.

A Winter's Ring Exhibition

Tomorrow night is the opening night for a fun and different Exhibition in Hobart.   I'm excited to see what is put out for us to see! 

 A Winter's Ring!!!  What a great concept... something to brighten up winter in the world of Girl and Art...  This event will run from the 14th till the 27th of July at  Rebecca Roth & Cube Gallery,  Salamanca Arts centre Hobart.    I have designed three rings for this exhibition, which I've called "Messy chic".    They are vintage brass and vintage patterned fabrics and swarovski crystals and filigree and black chain... heavy, eclectic, messy and fun!!!!   I'll hold off on the photos until after the opening night to keep you in suspense, but I had a tiny peak today and I can't wait to have a closer look at some of the fabulous rings in the cabinets already!!!  Tasmania has some great jewellery designers and artisans.

In conjunction with this fun event is   Rainy Days 2010 , this exhibition is being put together by Jemima Boyer and is a novel display of no holds barred art designed and displayed on 10x10cm plywood blocks... the mind boggles!  I am definitely going to go and check these out!

So from tomorrow night onwards the place for some winter amusement and shopping will be  Shop 8, Salamanca Arts Centre, Salamanca Place. 

Best of luck with that girls, I am looking forward to it...

Had a big day at The Girl's Day out at the Point

Who popped in to the Girls Day Out? Was it what you expected?

I had a great day and met some great people and even put faces to some of my face book friends!! Thanks so much for making yourselves known to me... I love that.
I must admit though that I expected more... not from you of course!!!  But from the event....   did you?

The numbers were down by more than half from last year, more than 5000 visitors last year and around 2000 this year!!! That's a big drop!!!
I thought the fashion parades and the booths were better than ever!
What made the difference?
I know that a couple of great events were competing for the same date this year... The quilt and craft fair was on at the DEC, even I would have gone there if I wasn't pre booked! :o)
Also the Chocolate Festival at LaTrobe was a definite distraction!!!
So was it a clash of dates or poor planning or... was it as good as ever from your perspective?

I'd love your feed back on this, because I believe it could be even more fun for you all and I want the chance to catch up again next year!!!

Let me know what you want from The Girl's Day Out, what is your idea of a girl's day out?  It's a great idea isn't it? Who doesn't love a girl's day out... hahahaaa

This is where I'll be...

This Sunday... yes the Fourth of July... should be able to remember that date!!  - I will be showcasing my new leather cuff bracelets for the first time at "the market" at the Masonic Lodge in Sandy bay Road in Hobart.  Please open the links for more information if you hope to put this on your list of fun things to do on a Sunday in Hobart.
I have only just developed this design and must admit to being pretty excited about how they have turned out!!!
I love them!  They are large and noticeable, pretty and tough, and sturdy and adjustable...         you get the picture ...

So if you would like to see how one of these cuffs would look on your particular wrist be the first to pop in and visit me there... no- one who has seen them in the flesh, as yet... and there are only a few...
I would love your feed back and your orders... I will bring some colour swatches... and you can pick your fave,  be aware, though that as each is handmade and quite unique, they may not be exactly reproduced!!  We can, however,  create something just as unique for you.

Leather options are simply Brown or Black and wide or thin leather with adjustable press stud closures... should fit most...
the details are quite shabby chic. I have no intention of creating a pristine finish here...
The fabrics and crystals and other embellishments are of the highest quality, and I am quite pleased with the price.  Be warned ... there have not been many made yet, so be early to see the choices!  To complement these cuffs, I will be also bringing along my large and luscious cocktail rings. You may have seen some of them before, but look out for an ever changing range...
I am looking forward to catching up with you all!  I'm hoping to have a chat about what you like, what you don't like and what you'd like to see in the future... please do! I love to hear your ideas  :o)
hope fully see you there!
Jenny
