giftfocus 101 spring fair preview SEA GEMS Stand: 18P04-Q05 W: seagems.co.uk Sea Gems is a Cornish, family-run company with more than 35 years of experience in design- led jewellery and gifts. Launching at Spring Fair are new and exciting collections of beautifully presented and high-quality original products, perfect for boutiques, gift shops and jewellers looking for something different at an affordable price. Designed in Cornwall, the collections capture the essence of the iconic landscape, nature, wildlife and heritage. The Silver Origins boutique jewellery brand features contemporary hand-crafted 925 sterling silver pieces which cleverly combine highly polished and textured surfaces, wonderfully matched with gold vermeil or semi- precious stones to enhance the beauty, spirit and story of each piece. Sea Gems offers striking organic pieces, an intricate Beachcomber range, delicate botanical and wildlife designs and fun, whimsical motifs celebrating life and love. The Celtic Lands silver collection evokes and celebrates Cornish heritage with timeless motifs and elaborate knot work. The collection is seeing fresh designs this spring to give a bright look and feel to the already successful brand. The art of fine enamelling, with its fusion of vibrant colours, creates truly excellent jewellery and gifts, seen in the Mackintosh, Celtic and Nature ranges. Every piece is individually hand-crafted to bring to life the purity of each design. The expanded gift ranges include pens, bookmarks, compact mirrors, pillboxes and scarf-rings.
