Olivia Burton Ice Queen Collection

 Step into Christmas with the stunning new Ice Queen collection from Olivia Burton.

Channel a little festive frost with these sparkly, statement pieces to dazzle and delight.

I am head over heels in love with their new Snowflake Ring (£50) and Snowflake Silver Chain bracelet (£60).

 

 

These limited edition pieces feature gorgeous Swarovski crystals in the form of a perfectly crystallised snowflake, capturing the precious, delicate, natural element in all its captivating glory.

The attention to detail on both items is extraordinary and they dazzle and gleam wonderfully, capturing and reflecting the light to perfection.

 

 

The breathtaking Snowflake ring is both understated and elegant yet enchanting and eyecatching.

Sat on a contemporary double band is the exquisite snowflake taking pride of place.

The graceful ring is a real showstopper and is glitzy and glam without looking or feeling gaudy.

 

 

Its delicate, precious elements and 19 clear crystals cause it to capture the light in the most spectacular manner, setting off any festive look to perfection.

For a little more sparkle pair it with the equally splendid chain bracelet.

 

 

Inspired by the magic and drama of the snowflake, this feminine, dainty bracelet features crystal embellishments not just on the snowflake itself but within the chain also.

The result is an opulent, stylish piece of jewellery that manages to capture the beauty and intrigue of the frosty element in the most beautiful way.

 

 

Priced at £50 and £60 respectively, I feel that these are really affordable, timeless pieces that will continue to delight year in, year out.

Charming, classic and captivating, the Ice Queen Collection from Olivia Burton is a really beautiful piece of art.

Mother's Day Gifts at Olivia Burton

Give your mum a gift she’ll truly cherish this Mother’s Day with Olivia Burton.

Olivia Burton are a British accessories brand that lovingly create a stunning array of jewellery and watches at affordable prices without comprising on style or luxury.

Known for their covetable, collectable styles inspired by vintage finds and the latest catwalk trends, their pieces feature hand-illustrations, beautiful references to nature and must-have colour palettes.

To be honest, its almost impossible to choose a favourite collection or piece on account of the generous array of splendid and dazzling items however I have hand picked two pieces which I simply adore and I think you will too.

Taking pride of place within their sweet as honey Bee inspired collection is their beautiful You Have My Heart Lucky Bee, Silver & Rose Gold Mesh Watch (£159).

This absolutely adorable watch features an intricate 3D rose gold bee sitting proudly in the center of a bubblegum pink, brush stroke heart.

12 dazzling Swarovski crystal markers surround the bee, adding a sparkly element that satisfies my magpie eye!

Water resistant and featuring Quartz movement, this watch is beautifully feminine and chic yet also eye catching and unique.

An elegant token of love, I could not think of a more beautiful piece to gift my mum for Mother’s day to show her how much she means to me.

Ok wait, having said that I have found another stunning item from the same Bee collection, the You Have My Heart Necklace Pink & Rose Gold (£55).

This buzzing beauty features a delicate rose gold bee and a baby pink coloured heart charm hanging from an elegant chain.

I love the contrast of the pale pink heart against the shiny rose gold of the bee and the double charm element adds a modern edge to a regular charm necklace.

Perfect for layering up with other necklaces or wearing alone as a sweet statement, it is a unique and gorgeous piece of jewellery.

There’s something about the bee and the heart that really strikes a chord with me and yes I’m about to get a bit ‘deep’.

The bee sits atop of the heart on both the watch and the necklace, almost as if it were pausing to retrieve some precious, sweet nectar from a beautiful flower.

I picture the bee then flying away, using this nectar to sustain itself and fulfil what it was born to do.

Despite the fact that the bee has received what it needs, it will return to that flower time after time, and this reminds me of a very unique parental relationship.

The heart is a mother and the bee is its child. 

The mother nurtures her child until one day that child spreads its wings and sets off for life of their own.

That mother has provided the child with the tools it needs to survive in life, but time after time, like the bee returns to the flower that child will return to its mother.

Bee and flower, child and mother, they need one another.

I remember reading somewhere when my children were babies, that your children are the only people in the world who will experience the sound of your heart from within your own body.

Also, while pregnant the mother carries two precious hearts within her body. 

Amazing when you think about it like that isn’t it.

The heart emblem represents love and there is no love quite like that between mother and child.

Who knew you could read so much into a piece of jewellery eh?

Whether you see what I’m saying or not, I’m sure you can agree that that this duo are simply stunning and I know that as a mother, I would be absolutely delighted to receive such beautiful gifts to treasure forever.

Oliva Burton’s full range of watches and jewellery can be found on her website now.

Olivia Burton x Cadburys Roses

Take time to give thanks to each other with Olivia Burton and Cadbury Roses.

These two British icons have combined forces to give thanks for both yourself and the special people around you who make your every day, extraordinary.

Cadbury's Roses, an assortment of individually wrapped milk chocolates housed in a reusable tin have been sharing special moments and warming your friends and family hearts since 1938. 

Roses have long been synonymous with giving thanks to people thanks to their delicious selection of chocolates, making them the perfect, affordable gift for everyone.

To celebrate this partnership, Olivia Burton have created a beautiful limited edition piece of jewellery and exclusive tin. 

Meet the striking Olivia Burton x Cadburys Roses watch (£95).

Born out of a shared love of flowers and the concept of taking time to give thanks, this stunning watch features hand painted roses and dainty butterflies set against a bright blue dial.

Celebrating the iconic imagery and hues so longly associated with the Cadbury Roses, the watch is a breath-taking reflection of the chocolate brand while seamlessly blending the distinctive styles and motifs of both brands.

Featuring a Midi Dial 30mm case and a contemporary, feminine yet classic rose gold mesh strap, it is practically impossible not to fall in love with this watch.

Turn the delicate piece over to reveal Olivia Burtons’s iconic bird emblem sit atop the clasp, staying true to the brand’s references to nature.

So limited is this collection that there are only 330 of these watches in the whole world, so if like me they have captured your heart then you need to not hang around for long because they are certain to sell out.

Likely to also sell out are the accompanying exclusive Oliva Burton for Cadbury Roses chocolates (£9.99).

Now, I’d like to point out though, that this partnership is so much more than just an exquisite watch and limited edition tin of chocolates.

Indeed, the watch has been created to act as the perfect reminder to take time out of your busy day to be thankful.

Olivia Burton Co-Founder Jemma says;

Gratitude is so important & we hope it inspires the nation to take time to give thanks to each other. It’s all too easy to overlook the every day people who make our lives all the sweeter. This is such a perfect way to say thank you - whether it’s the postman, the babysitter or the neighbour who signs for your parcels

It is a wonderful sentiment which is so in tune with both the history of Cadbury Roses and also the true meaning behind the festive period. 

Whilst a gift is a wonderful gesture, the greatest gesture of all is, quite simply, saying thank you.

With this in mind, together with Cadbury, Olivia Burton are launching the #TakeTimeToGiveThanks campaign.

And to say thank you to you for joining them on their mission to spread kindness and gratitude they have a thousand beautiful tins of chocolates to give away.

Simply share a message of thanks with a video or photo to your Instagram feed including the hashtag #TakeTimeToGiveThanks and tag @oliviaburtonlondon and @cadburyuk for your chance to be included.

By posting your message you will also be in with the chance of receiving one of 10 limited-edition Cadbury watches at the end of the campaign on 15th November.

Their hope is that together, we can spread kindness and gratitude across the nation this Christmas.

It is, after all, what it’s all about.
