Designer Jewellery range

Since we launched our jewellery range last spring, we are thrilled to see how much it is loved. So much so that our products get picked up at every stage-whether at a photoshoot, a pre launch or through word of mouth from friends of Jasmine White London who have tried, tested and love our products.

                                To us this is a testimony to not just the design, but also the craftsmanship, which is artisanal but with a professional finish of the highest standard in keeping with the ethos of our business. Our jewellery range is made by people who specialise in working with silver and gold jewellery, hence the beautiful product. What gives us great satisfaction is knowing that when you buy one of our pieces, it helps us provide the jewellery team with work which helps keep the art of jewellery making alive. All our jewellery comes in branded smart packaging, making it ideal for gift giving whether at Christmas or on those special occasions when it matters. Where requested we can make matching pendants so you have a set. Please do contact us should you have any special requests as our artisans are happy to make a size/variation specific to your requirements (subject to bespoke charges depending on the work).  Just give us enough notice as this involves time and skill! A hearty thank you to those of you who have supported us with this range. We look forward to your continued support as we go forward with our venture into the new season!  

Trip to India and more inspiration

India, as always, is full of life and your experience it with bells and whistles on! A land of contrasts, we visited the Gangetic plains where the winter/spring was just beginning to give way to the fast approaching summer and the temperatures were touching 40 deg C. However as it was festival season, it was celebration time! The ability of people to enjoy life despite everything-weather, circumstance, ability, etc- never ceases to amaze us. It continues to inspire us to do as much as we can to help our artisans as we expand our ranges.  (We expand on that in our next blog) We love that intricate design and bright colour in every hue permeates every aspect of life here.

We visited the holy town of Rishikesh in the Himalayan foothills which is spiritually tranquil and also full of visiting tourists. It has popular adventure camps and is also one of the well known destinations for Yoga in India. Being a Hatha Yoga student, this was of particular interest. The relative coolness of the weather in the Himalayas was a welcome break from the 40deg C heat earlier. Rishikesh being a spiritual destination, the prayers in the evenings on the Ghats of the river are a must see, and very inspiring.

                  The gratitude of people for all that the river gives is worth seeing. As we took a road trip we feasted our eyes on the various modes of transport which those of you who follow us will know is a big inspiration, especially for our design range ‘Indian Street/Horn Please’. (More on that in another blog). India festival celebrations © Jasmine White London All in all, a very inspiring trip during a very hot season to two very interesting destinations.

The Royal Tour and Handblock Prints!

Its lovely to see the Royal Tour of India going so well-it looks like it is with sheer delight that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have taken to the bright and beautiful country that is India if the images on BBC News/Daily Mail/Hello Magazine/NDTV/Tatler are anything to go by! We love this picture of  the Duchess in the hand block print dress in Tatler the best! (Photos of the Duchess Courtesy Tatler) You can see more pictures of their tour on BBC News here The first day of the Royals Tour in India didn’t just involve floral garlands and meeting celebrities from Bollywood, but also visiting the site of the Mumbai attacks in 2008 including the famous Taj Mahal Hotel. Jasmine White London Handblock printed designsWhat caught our eye most, and we can’t help it, is the beautiful array of dresses worn by the Duchess, including the lovely hand block printed dress which we think is very elegant. Its in keeping with our ethos of an ‘artisanal chiclifestyle-which is true of Jasmine White London product ranges-both homeware and attire which promotes ethical production values and allows rural communities to survive.  We recently launched new designs in Ikat and Hand Block prints, the Gaia, Freya and Laxmi range and are delighted to see some similar designs on the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton. Our hand block print range is coming soon…so email us if you would like to reserve any items before they arrive on enquiries@jasminewhitelondon.com  hand block colour napkins Laxmi make up bags
