I'm fast running out of space for my burgeoning jewellery collection; but can I throw any of it out? No. Unlike ditching a favourite top that's past it's sell by date or chucking out a much loved pair of disintegrating boots, the thought of throwing out a piece of jewellery just doesn't even cross my mind. Sentimental I know but I think when it comes to jewellery most of us are (and that includes boys as I've found many dodgy cufflinks and a well worn St Christopher in the back of my partners drawer!). Not all of it has to be expensive either. Frayed friendship bracelets made in school, dodgy black leather necklaces way back when grunge was in (I know I'm showing my age!), silver lockets, conked out watches, 100's of bangles, baubles and beads. Aladdin's cave would be envious.
As a wedding planner I'm privileged to know many jewellery makers and experts. This can include beautiful hand crafted engagement rings, vintage head pieces and costume jewellery all designed to make you look utterly gorgeous, and its all stunning. However E and K Charms are a little bit different. Their brilliant idea is what sentimental schmucks like me fall for every time. They make keepsakes from items which are a meaningful part of either your wedding day or from your honeymoon. Shells from the beach, flower buds or leaves from your wedding bouquet can all be gold or silver plated and turned into a stunning charm necklace or bracelet. You can then wear or keep this precious keepsake forever and pass it down to generations to come. Genius.
