Blue Dog Jewellery.com - Grey is the new black

Welcome to January 2010 and a Happy New Year to everyone!

Colour predictions for Spring/Summer 2010 are expected to symbolise hope.  White will feature strongly as will romantic pastels.  For now however, as we step into the new year and the last chapter of winter, grey becomes the new black.  The Autumn's London, Paris and New York Fashion Weeks saw shades of charcoal, pewter and smoke gracing the catwalks and Blue Dog Jewellery.com offers some unique handcrafted accessories to compliment the "grey season".

See Jessica Hewitt's Platinum/Grey Chrysanthemum cuff bangle etched with silver.  The Black Rabbits black and white bird and leaf cluster chain is still a sought after piece of quirky animal charms jewellery and Allison Wiffen's unusual ceramics depicting urban scenes make a statement like her Waterloo Roof long drop earrings from the Iconic London range.

There is nothing like a splash of red to cut through stone and slate, complimenting skin tones against those misty shades.  With animal charms again, The Black Rabbit's acrylic Spotty Bird necklace is funky and eye catching and has a signature miniature Black Rabbit on the chain catch.  Sarah Packington's transparent acrylic Red Oval Drop earrings hung on silver hoops are delicate and subtle.  Blue Dog Jewellery is also proud to offer fairtrade jewellery such as Kazuri's chunky Tango Cherry Red necklace made from handcrafted, graded ceramic beads.

So let us banish the winter blues and embrace the new year in style!

Blue Dog Jewellery has pledged that 10% of all sales will be donated to The MicroLoan Foundation (www.microloanfoundation.org.uk) a charity whose patrons include Sir Bob Geldof, and whose goal is to improve the lives of women in Africa by helping them to work their way out of poverty.  Buying a Blue Dog Jewellery gift for someone or yourself, is also giving hope to the women of sub-Saharan Africa and their families.
