The brand offers a wide range of rings, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets. They feature 9ct. Gold, Diamonds, and Gemstone jewellery. This latest jewellery brand is set to hit the UK market with a collection of 9ct. Gold jewellery through the start of its online store. The jewellery features timeless stones; diamonds, emeralds, rubies, and sapphire. The brand claims to offer stylish, chic, and minimal jewellery that will be a perfect fit for the modern-day working woman. The name of the jewellery line has been derived from the Dutch word Godin, which means Goddess. Founder of Orchid Global Sourcing, Abhishek Sharma, said: “I firmly believe that a woman can, simultaneously, feel different emotions, be different personalities, play different roles in the lives of others. So, we believe, that for her, the meaning of being a goddess cannot be restricted to one “Godin London is a brand very close to my heart that celebrates women, friendship, love by presenting them with a range of timeless pieces of jewellery that elevates their confidence.” Each piece from the Godin London collection is handcrafted with BIS Hallmark Gold, and IGI and GIA certified precious stones. Customers can choose from elegant and minimalistic 9ct. White Gold, Yellow Gold, or Rose Gold base pieces that are available in a wide range of styles and sizes. Made-to-order pieces are also offered by Godin London, and they are delivered in 15-21 days. When it comes to the price range, pieces start from just £99. “The idea is to make real Gold Jewellery affordable for today’s women hence our range starts from 99£ and goes to the higher range as well. These are intricately handcrafted pieces of jewellery and we are providing next day delivery within UK,” Abhishek added. www.godinlondon.com THE JEWELLERY SHOW AND NAJ FORM EXCLUSIVE AGREEMENT CloserStill Media, the people behind The Jewellery Show, and The NAJ have announced an exclusive agreement within BATF that will see members of the Association receive significant benefits including major stand discounts. The Jewellery Show, which takes place between 5th - 6th September at London’s Excel Arena, is a trade event hosting fine, contemporary, designer jewellery. At its core, the industry is about bringing people with a common interest together and the ability to connect to generate professional opportunities. Over the course of two unmissable days, hundreds of the best designers, manufacturers and retailers will be under one roof to experience the latest trends, ideas and collections. The headline for NAJ members is a significant reduction on stand space, as well as additional incentives for attendees to access all areas. Lindsey Straughton, NAJ’s Head of Communications and Industry Liaison said, “This agreement will prove to be a major cost saving for members exhibiting at the Jewellery Show. The trade has sorely missed some major shows in recent years with the pandemic and others changing priorities. Now, we are looking forward to the Jewellery Show in September which we are sure will prove a welcome addition to members’ diaries.” Boasting a team with extensive experience delivering jewellery industry trade shows, Show Director of The Jewellery Show, Lennox Addo said, “The jewellery industry has a rich history based on collaboration and partnerships. NAJ and the Jewellery Show will be no different - but with a strong focus on providing a platform designed for support and growth for suppliers.” Alison Balshaw, Sales Director of the Jewellery Show who herself has a steeped history in trade and consumer jewellery and watch events said, “I am thrilled to be back in the industry launching a dedicated fine jewellery and watch event. We’re really looking forward to working with NAJ members to help showcase their products and services and develop our relationship with the Association and its team moving forward. This show is what the industry has been missing and with bookings well underway we are excited to be putting on the event of the year.” Because the show will also deliver a combination of business seminars and design showcases NAJ Members are invited to submit interest in being part of the seminar and showcase programme. www.thejewelleryshow.co.uk INDUSTRY NEWS 93
