Kath Libbert presents the 11th Annual Alternative Wedding Show 2012
When setting everything in motion and preparing for the big day,
the jewellery you wear on your wedding is also the kind you will
cherish for life, and whatever you choose, you want it to be
unique. To be yours. With the Kath
Libbert Jewellery Gallery and their 11th Annual
Alternative Wedding Show, you can be sure that you will find some
of the most distinctive and contemporary bridal jewellery this year
and beyond.
The Gallery itself is well-known for showcasing the work of many
modern and internationally celebrated designers, not to mention
emerging ones too; that ethos continues with the Alternative
Wedding Show, with the 2012 event including pieces from
award-winning goldsmiths Jacqueline Mina, Jessica
Poole, Mark
Nuell, and Graeme McColm amongst others. In fact this
year, Malcolm Morris himself will be creating an
exclusive collection just for the Kath Libbert Jewellery; Morris
has made pieces for the Duchess of Gloucester, Joan Collins, Dawn
French, and the stunning tiara worn by Gwyneth Paltrow in the
Oscar-winningShakespeare in Love, not to mention his 2002
commission to create a Golden Jubilee tiara for none other than Her
Majesty the Queen herself. No doubt his new collection will prove
to be a highlight of this event.
One of the defining features of the Kath
Libbert Jewellery Gallery and particularly at this year's show
is the singularly individual approach that they have always taken
when selecting designers - that their work be personal, truly
bespoke, and for the more pioneering client. Libbert herself has
been quoted as saying her clients 'are interested in jewels that
push the boundaries. We think of ourselves as an antidote to the
high street.' By emphasising this in the Alternative Wedding Show,
the Gallery seeks to bring together a startlingly talented and
mixed group of prestigious jewellers to 'breathe new life into
pieces' and make them the unique and timeless jewels they were
destined to be.
For the bride about to make some very big decisions, this sort
of attention to detail and confident support is exactly what one
should expect from this year's event, which will see the Gallery
turned into an exhibition for every kind of bridal jewellery one
could hope to see. There are the stunning gems and precious stones
of Marc Nuell's rings, the
fluid and awe-inspiring shapes of Jessica
Poole's work, not to mention the already legendary work of
Jacqueline Mina, a goldsmith whose work has been exhibited
worldwide, her unmistakable touch in every piece she creates. Next
to them you'll also find exciting creations from Carly
Petitt-Taylor, with dark and delicate craftsmanship, as well as
Deborah
Kelly Hopkins' wrought and highly textured work, and many
more.
For a day in your life that is entirely yours, it makes sense to
wear jewels that are for you and you alone, and with Kath
Libbert's Alternative Wedding Show 2012 you'll find making the
hard choices that much more exciting and enjoyable, with works of
art to cherish forever.
The Alternative Wedding Show 2012 at Salts Mill runs until
2nd May. For more information, visit the website here.
