Pearl Necklaces By Elise. Our Blog. Designer of pearl necklaces, bracelets, pendants and earrings.

Great trip to Hong Kong and if anyone is interested I have some single strings (as yet unmade up and unknotted ) of fantastic baroque pearls – the best size and colour which will make some delightful handmade pearl jewellery. Thank you to everyone for their support at Hullavington and Sandown and your extremely positive comments on the new range of Signature handmade jewellery. Its also great news that the media interest in the pearl wedding jewellery has been very rewarding. The last show of the year is at Ripley on the 10-12th December though I will be in London on a frequent basis between now and Christmas if anyone would like to see anything in particular
Best wishes

November has to be the busiest month when it comes to pearls! Currently on a whirlwind tour of the Far East sourcing strands of pearls and gemstones. We set started out at Spirit of Christmas in Olympia and are now at the Mary Howard Fair at Hullavington. But it doesn’t stop there! If you want to do your Christmas shopping please visit us at Mary Howard at Sandown (23rd and 24th November) or come and see us in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales at Ripley Castle (10th – 12th December). We have a new style of stand this year with a range of traditional and bespoke pearl necklaces, new pearl earrings with magical sparkle and a selection of amazing scarves and clothing to compliment our handmade jewellery….

Happy shopping!
Love, Elise……………x

Peter and Katie set off to Vienna this week to launch our new wholesale range in Europe. They were showcasing “The Collection” – the bespoke range of pearl necklaces, pearl bracelets and pearl earrings – at the private residence of the British Ambassador to Austria. They have returned both thinking they are royalty!!

However, the trip was a huge success and we are in the process of finalizing agreements to supply a select number of small boutiques in and around Vienna as well as a niche gift shop in the Alps…our first mountain range!

Love

Press Release : 8th September 2010

Subject : Launches “Try It On By Elise”

Elise Compson, the founder and designer of “By Elise”, the retail jewellery company specialising in baroque pearl jewellery announces a major upgrade to her online shopping site www.byelise.com.
“Try It On” (TIO) allows the customer a more realistic interpretation of her range of pearl and gemstone necklaces by superimposing the necklace on a model and then adjusting its position around her neck.
Elise comments “One of the greatest drawbacks to online shopping has always been how to give the customer a more realistic interpretation of how the piece might look to them as they stood in front of a mirror in the comfort of their own home. Our initial strategy was to enable our customer to upload their own image onto our site allowing them then to superimpose a necklace onto their own image -technically feasible but our focus groups strongly advised it was too complex for time restricted clients

All too frequently jewellery is depicted in a series of images which are either so sterile or artistic that they bear little resemblance to reality. To better meet the needs of the customer a series of meetings were held with our customer base in London and around the UK which identified a model image which met the criteria of face-on, hair-up, minimal make-up and more representative of every woman when she looks in the mirror every morning and wishes wistfully……………..”

Just back from the most glorious week in Croatia compliments of John and Annoushka Ayton who had invited us to join them on their most delightful gullet with crew and “cookie” which sailed from Dubrovnik to Split through the most unspoilt coastline imaginable. Annoushka and John were the original founders of Links of London until they formed the most stylish jewellery house in the UK Annoushka two years ago – quite how the conversation avoided designer jewellery was largely due to their four great kids Marina, Ollie, Chloe and Oscar – I admit to being partisan but Godmothers have certain privileges !!! We had a fantastic time – many thanks to you all
We announced the launch of my wholesale range yesterday “The Collection by Elise” and am busy at Burghley this week so will write further next week with the launch of “Try It On”
All love

Thanks for all your support for By Elise at the Gold Cup finals and at the Game Fair where we had a great few days and as you can see they even used my pearl chokers, pearl earrings and pearl necklaces for the fashion show.

We have a number of exciting new developments being launched over the next few weeks. “Try It On By Elise” is a major new development on how we portray pearl necklaces on the site. This will be followed by the launch of “The Collection By Elise” a wholesale range for selected stockists around the UK and overseas which will be exhibited at the trade show Top Drawer in London and at the British Embassy in Vienna where we have been invited to give an exhibition to buyers from over fourteen countries – very exciting!

We will launch our range of bridal jewellery and wedding jewellery in my range “Bridal By Elise” and this will be followed by a glamorous new piece of pearl jewellery “Unity By Elise” which will be launched in time for Christmas

Hope you are having a great summer

Love

Had a great evening last Friday night with a fantastic private dinner at San Pietro followed by a private screening of the new Sex in the City film and chauffeured in the new Mercedes convertible. What a great night and contrary to the critics opinion the film is just 100% girls fun…….!

Next week we have teamed up with “Girl Meets Dress” where I have matched my jewellery to four of their designer dresses including the one shown in the photo worn by Sarah Jessica Parker – our newsletter will be out in the middle of the week so please sign you and your friends up to our mailing list

Have a great weekend
