Summer Picks!

From jewellery to candles and cufflinks, there's great bunch of exciting products at Ellie Ellie this summer - we've picked a few of our favourites to make sure you don't miss out!

Know someone who's graduating this season and want to give them a delightful reminder of their achievements? Our Personalised Graduation Mug , which you can personalised with a name, letters, subject, university and date, is sure to make the new graduate super proud of themselves and their new qualification!

As a delicious summery dessert and traditional sweet, the lovely scent of Rhubarb and Custard is one we'd all want around the house, so pick up one of our Retro Sweet Scent Rhubarb & Custard Candles for an addition to the home for a retro sweet lover. You can also add a personalised message on the back!

A twist on our popular Lucky Sixpence Date Coin cufflinks, the Lucky Sixpence Date Coin Cufflinks Mixed Metal are made using gold-plated genuine sixpence pieces. They make the perfect token of good luck, and a fantastic accessory for a wedding. Pick a special date between 1947 and 1967 to be displayed of the front, or let us surprise you!

With so many pieces of beautiful jewellery in our British Idiom range, it's hard to decide which to choose! One of our favorites this summer has to be the Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining Bracelet. A subtle but stylish piece and a great idea for a gift for someone special, with a lovely touch of optimism!

Feeling Rosy

The Rose is the birth month flower of June, and at a time when the weather is heating up, our style often changes to match. But it''s not just clothes that we can adapt to sunnier and warmer days. Giving a shimmery and fresh look, we've spotted a huge jewellery trend this summer  - Rose Gold.

Its the perfect colour tone to go with almost any outfit, and we've got several head-turning pieces of Rose Gold Jewellery within our beautiful British Idiom range!

You'll find something for every occasion in this collection - whether it be an encouraging good luck gift for a friend, a thoughtful token of love for a family member or just a little treat to yourself! View our full British Idiom range here.

Celestial inspriation

This season we have been inspired by a trend that is out of this world - celestial motifs! They've been a strong influence throughout homeware and fashion, and now it's made its way to us at Ellie Ellie! It takes us to a world of wanderlust, exploration and mystery, and when it comes to jewellery, the night sky offers endless possibilities.

We've been swept away by the enchantment of the moon and stars in our British Idiom collection:

From Sterling Silver earrings to Rose Gold and Mixed Metal necklaces, the sky's the limit for our celestial-inspired range!

Handmade little memories

Ellie Ellie is quickly building a reputation for handmade and sustainable products, which give a whole new take on personalised gifting! Our Sussex HQ is packed to the rafters with materials, such as our beautiful vintage maps which we use to hand make our jewellery and cufflinks.

We thought we'd give you an insight to what happens behind the scenes!

We have thousands of vintage maps and atlases which we use to make our products with! We are always on the look out for beautiful old prints, whether we're rummaging around jumble sales or riffling through a charity shop!

Is it slightly weird that we have favourite maps? These are our 'old faithfuls'. This title is given to any map that never lets us down, having almost impossible locations in beautiful colour palettes and the highest print quality!

This is Lindsay our Head Maker, selecting map segments ready for jewellery making! She hand selects each piece of map that we use, making sure each piece is as beautiful as possible. By producing them individually by hand, it allows us to give our customers the individual attention they need to make their product as special as the memory it represents.

Some of our Personalised Map Cufflinks ready to go out to our customers! You can see how unique each one is, which we feel add a whole new level to the personalisation- no two are the same but they are all as beautiful!

Ellie Ellie Wears - can’t go wrong with a Levi label.

Blue is the colour of the month (well technically aqua marine..) so we’ve pieced together this little number featuring the iconic Levi jeans, which with a bit of hunting you can find yourself an uber cool vintage pair. You can often find them hanging around in London’s Rokit store- “if you see ‘em grab ‘em” is our rule of thumb at Ellie Ellie HQ.

We love this oversized powder blue piece of knitwear from Topshop, works perfectly with the Levi’s stronger shade. For a finishing touch the Ted Baker shirt gives that little bit of glam, making this outfit perfect for a shopping trip or a casual evening drink down town.

Ellie Ellie’s Upcycled Sixpence Necklace is the perfect tool to finish this outfit off, when worn on our longer chains. It’s cute ornate frame gives the outfit that vintage edge which is bang on trend according to LFW!

Voila, get on the blue!

Ellie Ellie Street Style Spotted!

We found Bluebell, 19 a fashion student on a wander round the shops in Preston city centre.

Totally stylish, she brings pops of colour to her outfit with a Yayoi Kusama for Louis Vuitton bag and matching Ellie Ellie Building Brick Heart necklace.

A leather jacket with customised studding detailing works as a great cover up for the chilly march evenings, and skinny jeans are perfect with any outfit.

We also love her shoes, which have a fab Aztec print- perfect for the upcoming summer months!

Bluebell loves Ellie Ellie “Because it’s really easy to wear with anything, and works with all of my outfits.”

We think Blubell’s quirky style is great, and have total bag envy!

Find Bluebell's Building Brick necklace here. It comes in more colours too! The perfect accessory for any outfit.
