Jewellery is my weakness and this was a difficult category to judge because I wanted to shop. Loving that I Love Dolly uses traditional silversmith techniques, organic styles in a premium finish at medium level price points. Great to see some warm copper as an option material too.

Love the on point quote from Uwu Studio “Adding colour & pattern fearlessly, to a dull and dark world.” Launched less than a year ago and already with huge digital presence across planforms and strong product range that many of us take years to build. Something for everyone at low cost, strong visual brand identity across all products.
