An Evening with Jewellers Thomas Belfast!
Wednesday, July 10, 2013"Diamonds are a girl's best friend" - Marilyn Monroe.
Every girl needs a bit of sparkle in her life, and so it was with great excitement that I made a very special trip to jewellers Thomas Belfast. Specialising in beautifully crafted designer jewellery, Thomas Belfast brings together the very best in national and international jewellery designers, as well as a beautifully designed collection of stunning creations by owner Tamsin Blackbourn.
Stunning pieces adorn each of the beautiful glass and mirrored display cases, from a myriad of designers, and as I looked in each of them my wish list grew ever longer! But the real selling point for Thomas Belfast is it's amazing team! The lovely Emma spent ages with me talking through each of the collections, explaining the inspiration behind many of the designers collections & discussing the gems used, bringing each piece to life! From pearls to diamonds, and from ladies to men's jewellery, there really was something for everyone and it was a pleasure to spend my evening there! (Afterall what girl wouldn't love to spend an evening with such beautiful jewellery!)
The personal touch is key to Thomas Belfast, and for myself this is vital! As a girl who has very petite fingers and wrists I find it very difficult to find jewellery which fits. But owner Tamsin and her team will endeavour to do all they can to accommodate their customers and will do their best to work round any issues you might have!! In my case I fell hard for the stunning "Chaos" bracelet, and was over the moon when Tamsin said she would be able to shorten it to fit my petite wrist!!! A sleek design made up of intricate sterling silver strands wound round to create a modern feel, it was the kind of piece that would make a statement on it's own or equally look good stacked with other wrist wear!

Emma and Tamsin also suggested that it might be possible to create a matching necklace with the pieces that were removed, and I must say I was over the moon with the end result! A collar style necklace, specially fitted so it nestled perfectly at my collarbone, it was an elegant and chic accompaniment to my bracelet, and looks stunning when worn together!

A chic jewellery collection designed by owner Tamsin is also available, as well as her bespoke service where she will work closely with you to design your dream jewellery! From opulent "Great Gatsby" inspired pearl necklaces, to girly strands of semi-precious gems beautifully strung together, anyone having a specially commissioned piece made by Tamsin will be a lucky girl indeed!
I was also lucky enough to leave with a stunning pair of pearl stud ear rings designed by Tamsin herself which are perfect for my petite ears!
A treasure trove of beautiful jewellery, if you want something truly stunning and beautifully crafted you need look no further than Thomas Belfast, and I can't wait to return to add to my jewellery collection!!
