Well it’s not everyday that you get an email from one of the worlds top stylists, Karl Templer, for your designs to be photographed by the amazing Craig McDean for an editorial in Vogue Italia….but that is exactly what happened to me on a cold and rainy day back in December.
The editorial finally came out in this month, February’s issue of Vogue Italia and although I don’t have an actually copy of the magazine yet I’ve managed to find a few sneak peeks online of this amazing shoot that I’m delighted to have been a part of….
I LOVE the 50′s inspired, Eastern Bloc feel of the shoot it’s so, so fabulous and goes so well with our tiaras!
Now I’m off to celebrate this exciting news by performing gymnastics in my best jewellery…HAPPY SUNDAY!!!!!

FINALLY all the headdresses and jewellery from the Black Mermaid collection have been uploaded and are ready to purchase!!!
The collection was beautifully photographed by Stephen McGarry just before Christmas on a chilly and windy Scottish beach. It was a long day but our muse and resident film-maker, Islay Roberts was amazing, braving the north sea air to deliver an amazing set of shots!
The stunning clothing and hosiery was supplied by the amazing Bebaroque who make the most exquisite embellished designs. A perfect match for our headdresses!
“The Black Mermaid Collection is a crossover between our bridal range and our fashion-forward designs. The headdresses are both for the fashionable bride with a fascination for the decadent excess of the by-gone Gatsby era and the romantic fashionista who likes to mix vintage intricacy with a thoroughly modern twist. Each piece is lavishly constructed by hand at our Edinburgh studio using fine materials from Swarovski crystals to bohemian glass beads.”
You can find all the designs online here, www.renewalrus.co.uk and the collection is also available wholesale!
We’ll also be releasing more gorgeous shots from the day and a short film too in the next couple of weeks, so watch this space…
For further enquiries, press or wholesale, please email us on info@renewalrus.co.uk

Ahhhhh Christmas holidays, don’t you just hate them?
Tis the season to be ill and this year seems to be the worst one yet. Pretty much everyone I know has had some sort of cold or chest infection and it all seems to kick off just as you begin to wind down for the festivities!?
Well as you’ve probably guessed I, myself have had more than my fair share of winter bugs and kidney infections over the last few weeks and I’m only just starting to recover. To be honest it was hard to even move from the bed to the sofa on Christmas Day and my birthday was spent miserably crying into my pillow in some strange delirium.
So you can imagine how ridiculously excited I am that I’m finally getting back to some sort of normality…
Although I have to admit, it kind of feels like I’ve arrived at the party a few days too late, just when everyone else is partied out…
Oh well, better late than never!

2013 is going to be THE year for DIY so if you fancy trying something spectacular why not come along to our Swarovski jewellery workshops….
