While we have a rather lovely silver pendant based on leaf, we came across this amazing Australian company who has gone one better, creating jewellery from the leaves themselves.

Bush Art Australia was founded in 1987 by ex journalists Patrick and Amelia Carfax who decided to combine their love of nature and passion for innovation and make the life changing move of setting up their own business, preserving the indigenous leafs and seeds of the Austalian bush in 22 carat gold and pure silver.

Each leaf is picked and subjected to a delicate 12 hour process which first skeletonises it, then electroplates it before finally coating it in gold or silver. Their beautiful range includes a wide selection of different leaves, and nuts. My personal favourites are these lovely dangly pendants and earrings and the beautiful silver Eucalyptus leaf with the dainty opal "raindrop". 

Sold throughout Australia, they also ship worldwide, so if you want a reminder of your antipodean adventure or you would just like a little piece of nature frozen in silver or gold, you can find out more at Real Leaf Australia

 

For the man who doesn't like "bling" we have a lovely collection of designs, created for the sporty set. There's chunky, solid silver pendants on slim rubber laces, 2 fabulous necklaces with optional matching bracelets in thick, matt black rubber with chunky silver highights. Last but not least we have 2 solid silver bangles, hand wrapped in suple black leavther and decotated with more silverwork. Available in a slim and thick style and 2 sizes, they should fit almost any wrist.

As another first, we shot the entire range on location on Boracay's White Beach and we're created a short video of the entire range so busy guys can look at everything is just one minute. Go on... take a quick peak.

Like Rony, Terri isn't a professional model. She's a Marketing and Events manager for a London based private equity group. So what keeps her looking fabulous?

Sport!

She is one of the fittest people we know. We originally found her in a gym and 7 years on she's still training hard. She's a qualified personal trainer and Under 12's Football coach. This year alone she has done the Jerusalem marathon, the London nightrider 100k cycle, the London to Brighton Cycle, the Boxhill cycle challenge 100k (yep that includes the dreaded Boxhill of the Olympic road race) & the London to Paris cycle. Next on her list are the Windsor half marathon and the Rome marathon.

Not only is she hardworking, super fit and incredibly lovely, she is also a great model, and a very smart woman - she is now doing a IDM Diploma in Direct and Digital Marketing so we're hoping she'll be giving us some free advice as well as more great poses over the coming years.

For anyone looking for a great model, give us a call and we'd be happy to put you in touch with her. We guarantee she'll do you proud.
