May 2nd marked our official 2nd anniversary – two years since Leblas first opened it’s doors on London’s Sloane Street. It has been a very exciting past couple of years for us, and despite the economic doom and gloom, we have managed to stand the test of time as one of London’s top, ethical jewellery boutique retailers.

We would like to say a huge thank you to all of our lovely customers and also to all of the press who have supported us during our first 2 years! Here’s to celebrating many more in the future!

Every year Coachella attracts some of the biggest names, not only from the music world, but also the fashion, so we thought we would take a look at our favourite ‘Festival Jewellery Looks’ so far!

The vibe at Coachella was pretty laid back with stars including Vanessa Hudgens, Camilla Belle and Nicole Richie opting for relaxed hippy-inspired jewellery pieces to compliment their summery outfits. We loved the way Vanessa stacked lots of bracelets and friendship bands on her wrists and arms and layered her necklaces finishing off with a few feathers!

You can recreate Vanessa’s look with these gorgeous friendship bands from Gina Stewart Cox, now available at  Leblas! There are lots of cool summery colours to choose from!

We also loved Camilla Belle’s simple look – she topped of her pretty cut-out blouse and denim shorts with a long gold cluster pendant.

You too can create this look by layering up lots of trinket necklaces, we particularly love this pendant by Fifi Bijoux - currently stocked at Leblas.

Prince Charles looked rather smitten as he embraced the future Queen of Spain with a kiss, and no wonder, Princess Letizia looked beautiful in her gorgeous red dress which was complimented perfectly with the beautiful Leblas Rosette Silver Bangle.

The stunning bracelet priced at £420 is available in gold and can be purchased online or from our Leblas boutique.

Gina Stewart Cox provides stylish, contemporary quality jewellery with a touch of exclusivity. Designed and created by young British designer, Gina Stewart Cox – this gorgeous collection encompasses Gina’s unique signature style using a combination of precious metal’s and vibrant coloured cords.

Gina began her career after having achieved a first class degree in Fashion and Textile Design, working alongside a top London designer, who then inspired her to look into creating jewellery herself. Informal research while traveling through the southern hemisphere and living in Europe has given Gina a great cultural experience on which to base her design concepts. Gina has incorporated the best of global influences and added a gentle English twist, sourcing materials from Italy, Thailand, Japan, America and Hong Kong.

The pieces look amazing, we  particularly love her signature bracelets, that come in an array of funky, vibrant colours and look great layered on your wrists.

Her latest collection, ‘Dissolution’ uses skills including traditional techniques of pattern cutting, hand forging, soldering, hand stitching and hand dying, mixed with a non traditional method of laser cutting. A key piece from her collection, a gorgeous handcrafted ‘Shoulder Expansion‘ was recently featured in the March edition of French Vogue!

We caught up with Sarah to find out her inspiration behind the collection – “The concept for this collection derived from my childhood traumatic experiences of multiple deaths within the family, and many were a direct result of the effects of cancer. For this reason the topic of disintegration and the degeneration of mind and body have always been of interest and the project was a cathartic method of using these traumatic life experiences into my practice based studio work.“
