CHAMPAGNE & DIAMONDS
Here at Little Joy, I am in the middle of my busiest wedding season to date! As I approach my 8th anniversary of Business, I have spent time this week reflecting on some of my wonderful experiences & the achievements I have made alongside growing two humans in my belly it’s no wonder I feel so tired but it’s been so worth it! I took the time to look through my portfolio, to see a visual improvement in practice and recognising the style that’s grown organically as I have developed.
I would like to introduce you to two rings I am really passionate about this season that has proved most popular. Each piece I design is made to fit the last so you can pretty much buy any piece of little joy and it shall compliment another in my collection. I wanted to develop a wedding ring set that was equally beautiful worn alone or as a composition. The PEAR ring is available in Yellow, White, Rose Gold & Platinum. All 9ct & 18ct Golds are Fairtrade Gold.
The PEAR cut diamond is a beautiful cut alternative to a round cut diamond, this piece sits beautifully alone or apart of a set. Perfect for an engagement ring or that extra special gift. 1.5mm round gauge ring shank tapers toward stone to knife edge point 1.1mm
3 claw set Pear Diamond. SI1 E colour 50pt 0.50ct Pear Cut Diamond ~ Conflict Free Diamond * mined in Australia
The DIAMOND ARC Ring was designed as a wedding band but has also proved popular as a special treat ring for many who want a complimentary ring stacker. I designed the Arc to harmoniously sit with a multitude of universal rings. You can also choose from Champagne Rose cut diamonds or brilliant cut clear clarity diamonds. I have mixed diamonds in the photo attached and pushing these boundaries has opened many eyes. I have mixed diamond cut within a set of jewellery for years and although traditionally frowned upon as you can see the subtlety in the delicate shades compliment one another very well.
The Diamond Arc is the perfect composition with a round/pear cut stone sat within. * works well with our SUN engagement ring, DARLING Rose Cut Ring, or PEAR diamond Ring. Available:
Rose Cut Diamonds * as shown in the photograph
Colour – Champagne
VS1 clarity colour E
Carat 0.11ct each

I feel at this point of my journey with Little Joy the design ideas are in full flow! The possibilities are endless and I am totally dedicated to my practice more now than ever. I am so excited to share with you more wedding rings designs I am working upon alongside my bespoke commissions. I aim to add a bespoke portfolio to my website to give clients more insight into my daily making challenges! For now, remember you can follow me on a daily basis upon Instagram @littlejoyjeweller.
Thank you all for your ongoing support & many congratulations to my couples, your trust in me is so humbling and each and every order is a complete honour. Lauren – Design / Maker / Goldsmith

SHOP small POP UP SHOP
This week I am hosting my 4th SHOP small POP UP SHOP in my new studio @ The Ark! Shop Small Pop UP shop’ supports Independent Artists, Designers & Makers, from the UK & Overseas.
The current shifting economic climate has placed pressure upon Artists & Makers. This financial uncertainty coupled with the stresses of managing commitments can cast a strong impact on passion, and creativity. ‘Shop Small’ is here to celebrate those who support handmade goods and those whom responsibly source objects/products alongside those who create them!
For one week only, Shop small takes the concept of a minimal pop-up shop and aims to provide a high-end showcase of exceptional talent all within the harbourside studio & showroom of Little Joy jewellery, Bembridge, Isle Of Wight, UK.
