MAD ABOUT THE HOUSE...AND THE RING

POPPY WAS THRILLED TO BE FEATURED IN THE AUGUST EDITION OF THE MAD ABOUT THE HOUSE NEWSLETTER, BELONGING TO THE AWARD WINNING JOURNALIST KATE WATSON-SMYTH.

HERE’S WHAT KATE HAD TO SAY:

“I HAVE BEEN HANKERING AFTER A NEW RING AND IT’S BEEN A LONG SEARCH. I HAVE LONG FINGERS BUT THEY ARE BIG, SO OFTEN THE CHEAPER COSTUME JEWELLERY DOESN’T FIT. ALSO THE GOLD PLATE WEARS OFF SO FAST WHEN YOU’VE WORN IT IN THE SHOWER AND TO APPLY SUN TAN LOTION ETC. AND THEN, ON INSTAGRAM (WHERE ELSE?) I SPIED AN OLD ACQUAINTANCE WHO USED TO BE A STYLIST AND HAS NOW TRAINED AS A JEWELLERY DESIGNER. I KNEW IMMEDIATELY THAT THIS WAS WHAT I HAD BEEN LOOKING FOR.

I CONTACTED POPPY NORTON WHO SENT ME A RING SIZER BY RETURN OF POST AND THEN MADE THE GORGEOUS INFINITY RING FOR ME. TWO WEEKS LATER IT WAS SITTING PRETTILY ON MY HAND AND THE JOY IS THAT IT IS GOLD PLATED BRASS – SO EVEN IF IT WEARS OFF A LITTLE IT WILL STILL BE THE SAME COLOUR UNDERNEATH. POPPY HAS LOTS OF GORGEOUS DESIGNS AND IF I COULD EVER BE BOTHERED TO CHANGE MY EARRINGS AND NECKLACE I WOULD DEFINITELY GO BACK FOR MORE.”
