Edinburgh jeweller

  This weekend I attended a friend's wedding on the beautiful channel island of Herm . It's a short boat trip from Guernsey, where she now lives. I was very honoured to have been commissioned to make the groom's cufflinks and the maid of honour's earrings for the big day. The wedding was lovely, in a small chapel at the top of a steep hill (we wore flats to walk up there and changed our shoes!).   On the day after the wedding I had a late ferry back home so had a lot of time to explore the island. It's small and there are no cars on it! No roads either. It's a really beautiful, quiet place and I was very lucky to have such fantastic weather in which to enjoy it. 

I was commissioned by my friend Claire to make some cufflinks for her husband for their second wedding anniversary. I can't quite believe it's been two years. I remember their wedding very clearly. Particularly the bit where my friends and I were waiting for a taxi before the wedding - which didn't arrive. Claire had a routemaster bus to take her to the church. We ended up having to hide at the top of the bus and sneak out and into the church before the bride could make her entrance! The date on the cufflinks, I.V.X, is their wedding date in roman numerals. It was on their wedding invitations. Happily Claire's husband loves the cufflinks. Here is a pic she put on facebook for me!
