My amazing, talented friend Neil Ramsay (@neil-ramsay.com) makes gorgeous (and wonderfully geeky) jewellery. If you're looking for a gift or something nice for yourself while supporting a small business, I'd definitely check his stuff out. (Or just look to see the shiny things!)
The new line has officially launched! Check it out! We're super proud of this one (I know I know. I say that every time, but it really is true).
Didn't quite make my target of 8 designs, but I'm still on target for a completely new design line every year, and that's something, right?
