The jewellery brand for June isn’t one I’ve been aware of for very long, but they’ve caught my eye with some stunning designs recently. Let’s give it up for:

MISS J DESIGNS

Miss J Designs is a brand based in Norfolk, founded by London Metropolitan University design gradauates Olga Jaszewska and Anthony Taylor. The inspiration for their designs is “urban simplicity and a focus on our immediate surroundings”.

The piece that’s really wowed me recently is this Harlequin mask necklace, available on Etsy for a limited time. Isn’t it stunning?

I also adore this Salvador Dali-inspired Telephone Lobster necklace, also available with a glitter red lobster!

The Koons-inspired Balloon Dog Brooch comes in a variety of colours.

Continuing the art theme, this Banksy-inspired Panda with Guns necklace is pretty cool.

The Geometric Elephant necklace is available in a variety of materials, and you can choose from other animals too, including a lion and an owl.

Miss J Designs also make 3D printed jewellery, which I think is pretty cool. Check out this Rhino brooch.

Jewellery brand of the month: I Am Acrylic

I’m sure you’re all waiting with bated breath to see what the next jewellery brand of the month will be. This time I’ve chosen the British brand

I AM ACRYLIC

I Am Acrylic is the brand of Brendan and Ruth, who have been making jewellery since 2004. They have many gorgeous designs available on their site and Etsy page and they are also open to commissions – I have a couple of ideas myself! From looking at their stuff, they seem to specialise in the cute and quirky, and they’re also great at making abstract designs based on real places.

Last winter, they made some incredible brooches and necklaces inspired by Port Lockroy on Antarctica, the home of Penguin Post. They were never available on the website and I was a bit skint, last winter, to buy one, but it remains my dream piece.

Port Lockroy jewellery

My first pieces of I Am Acrylic jewellery were the Two in a Bush Bird Brooch and A Bird in the Hand Ring (I have the blackbird version). They’re so sweet and charming.

I’m in love with this Yellow Brick Road Necklace, portraying the Road to Oz in inimitable I Am Acrylic style.

The Piggy Bank Brooch is one of their latest releases, and it’s absolutely adorable. You can actually put money in it! It’s also available as a necklace.

If you want something more subtle, this Hedgehog Necklace is seriously cute.

Tiny Hedgehog Necklace

Not ones to waste anything, Brendan and Ruth have begun making necklaces with the offcuts of their other creations. Layers of coloured acrylic are glued together and cut out with a fretsaw, so that each Little Layered Lump Necklace – as they are known – is unique. Check out their Etsy page for the latest lumps.

Finally, one of London’s best-loved landmarks in brooch form: Battersea Power Station.

Today I’m going to focus on a relatively new jewellery brand, the amazingly-named

KIMCHI AND COCONUT

This brand is made by designer Jessica in Birmingham.

This shimmery shoal necklace is absolutely beautiful.

Shoal Necklace, £40

Continuing the theme, this leopard seal and penguin necklace is incredibly detailed, but I love penguins so much I don’t think I’d ever be able to wear it!

The Chase Necklace, £30

This little wolf brooch is available in three different colours.

Lupin Brooch, £15

The detail on this Frida brooch is astounding.

Frida Brooch, £20

I love the glitter on the black version of this glorious whale necklace.

Galactic Whale Necklace, £25

Jess has recently launched a monthly subscription box: check out the site for the latest theme. It’s £30 a month to subscribe or you can buy a one-off box for £35. Check out the #kimchiandcoconut hashtag on Instagram to see some pictures: I particularly love the Van Gogh-inspired starry night necklace.

It’s time once again for my monthly jewellery brand, and this month I’m celebrating:

REVERE FOLIE

Like many awesome modern retro-style jewellery brands, Revere Folie is from Australia and is, in fact, mother to the sisters responsible for the amazing brand Deer Arrow. Whereas Deer Arrow specialise in brooches, Revere Folie is all about the earrings.

These Art Deco-style earrings are stunning.

Gatsby earrings

As a huge Wizard of Oz fan, these gorgeous hoops are at the top of my list.

No Place Like Home earrings

Or at least, they would be if it wasn’t for these adorable penguins.

Happy Dance earrings

These moons are simple, but still make a statement.

Light of the Moon earrings

Recently the brand has begun to diversify into necklaces: I love this gorgeous wolf and moon one.

Moon Song necklace

After a short hiatus, I’m back with another new jewellery brand of the month. This month I’ve been lusting over:

LORELAI LORELAI

Lorelai Lorelai is run by Lorelai Halls, who describes herself on Instagram as a “jewellery designer, introvert, feminist, dreamer, lone wolf”. Her stuff is kitsch, retro and generally amazing. I’ve selected some of my favourites below.

This amazing necklace was inspired by retro foil Christmas decorations.

Engraved mirror stars statement necklace

These fabulous Sixties hoops come in a variety of colours.

Sassy Sixties hoop earrings

This mushroom necklace is gloriously psychedelic.

Cat brooches come in several different colours. They are inspired by retro kitty ornaments.
