Alex Monroe
Alex
Monroe established his London studios in 1987. He now enjoys world-wide success
selling jewellery throughout Asia, Europe and America. His celebrity clients
include Britney Spears, Kate Moss, Cher and Martine McCutcheon.
Alex’s work is delicate, pretty and english
in style. It is inspired by the simple beauty of nature and the passion of religion.
Alex's love for gardening and nature is apparent, with little roses and wildflowers.
More recent work takes a nostalgic look at Englishness; grasses and ferns mixed
with dragonflies and bees. It is essentially a sentimental, tongue-in-cheek
look at a lost time and place. 'The most important thing is to maintain quality
at all times. Although I am interested in fashion I hope that I am using a design
language that defies time'.

Angie Gooderham
Angie
Gooderham started designing jewellery over 20 years ago, initially operating
from a small room in her Herefordshire home. The company travelled world wide
with Angie - at times the sales office was the back of a motor bike in New Zealand,
or the streets of San Francisco in the 70s.
The seeds of some of the most successful designs
continue to be drawn from a wealth of life experiences, travelling the world,
spending time with people from many different cultures.
She is inspired by the creativity and bold use
of colour seen in remote parts of the world, as well as by the soft balance
of colour found in nature. This inspiration is channelled with an intuitive
eye for colour and shape that will complement and enhance the clothes designs
for each season.

Clara Francis
Clara
Francis was born and raised in London, where she also trained as an actress
at The Central School of Speech and Drama. Her interest in jewellery designing
and making developed during two long stretches of performing in West End shows,
where here spare time was spent learning and perfecting her new skill. ‘I decided
to teach myself old beading techniques as I have always loved intricate jewellery.
After a few months I started to make one-off pieces to trial out on my girlfriends,
which was later followed by the launch of my first full collection of Clara
Francis Jewellery.’
Clara’s beaded creations were such a hit
with her fashion savvy friends that she built up the confidence to design and
make her first small collection, which was later picked up by Harvey Nichols
after the beautifully beaded pieces and vintage charm necklaces and bracelets
caught the eye of the accessories buyer. This was closely followed by her successful
stall at London’s Spitalfields market, which has gone from strength to
strength becoming a key destination during London Fashion Week for international
press and buyers.
Clara’s signature hand-crafted beadwork and
vintage charm necklaces have become a huge hit with fashion press and jewellery
fans world-wide.

Jessica Kagan Cushman
Jessica

She takes quotes and phrases, from movies, literature and in some cases, New
York graffiti and transcribes them onto resin bracelets. Already a huge hit
in the US, Accessories Online will be stocking her designs in the coming month.
Fans of Jessica's irreverent jewellery include stars such as Hilary Duff and
Jennifer Aniston. Phrases include "Don't make me release the flying monkeys!",
