Angie Gooderham (London)
Angie Gooderham started designing jewellery over 20 years ago, initially operating from a small room in her Herefordshire home. Forming a small and dedicated team, the company travelled worldwide with Angie. This meant that that the sales office ranged from being on the streets of San Francisco in the 70's to being on the back of a motor bike in New Zealand.

Now based in London, the seeds of some of Angie's successful designs continue to be drawn from a wealth of life experiences, including travelling the world and spending time with people from many different cultures. She is inspired by the creativity and bold use of colour seen in remote parts of the world, as well as by the soft balance of colour found in nature. This inspiration is channeled with a personal, intuitive eye for colour and shape that will complement and enhance the clothes designs for each season. Taken up by Harrods and Harvey Nichols, Bijouled offers you the opportunity to view a wide range of her seasonal collections.

Avoca is a family-run company that has come a long way since its birth 300 years ago in a remote Irish village that gives its name.

Visitors are still welcome to view the whole weaving process and examine the yarns. You won’t be disappointed by the Avoca Anthology clothing range in soft, luxurious fabrics and gorgeous jewel colours. Launched in 2002, the Avoca Anthology clothes are standalone but if you are tempted to buy more than one piece, each style is designed to be complementary. Diversity, quality, design and colour mark Avoca, which is why it has been named as one of the top ten boutique clothing labels. 

Azuni (London)
The story of Azuni began over 10 years ago and was the vision of Ashley Sinclair Marshall, Azuni's creative director. Ashley took up jewellery design after leaving his job as a top chef at The Dorchester and The Caprice. After studying at London Guildhall, he decided to travel to South America in search of creative inspiration. It was whilst trekking in the mountains of Guatemala that Ashley discovered a small jewellery workshop of skilled Mayan craftspeople. Blown away by the ancient creative techniques and pioneering beadwork, Ashley began an alliance with the workshop. The resulting Azuni costume collection was launched in Paris in 1995 and was picked up by designers such as Paul Smith and Emanuel Ungaro. The first Azuni silver collection was launched in Spring 2000 and continued to take inspiration from traditional techniques and ancient craftwork. Azuni currently runs four distinct collections that are a fusion of semi-precious stone, pure silver, beadwork, Swarovski crystal, freshwater pearls, carved shell and mother-of-pearl. Supplying to unique boutiques and stores, including Liberty in London, you will find Azuni a source of beautiful contemporary jewellery.
