Argos launches a collection of inspirational jewellery which can be customised and then 3D printed to order

Milton Keynes, UK, 2015-3-18 — /EPR Retail News/ — Argos today announced the launch of a collection of inspirational jewellery which can be customised and then 3D printed to order, before being dispatched directly to the customer. The technology that makes this happen is powered by Digital Forming, 3D print experts and partners in the project. The R&D project has also been supported by Innovate UK, the technology experts who support, fund and connect innovative businesses to help create economic growth.

Using the newly launched website, budding designers will be able to select accessories from a range of 10 items initially, add their own personal touches, and then 3D printers will bring the designs to life and deliver the bespoke creations in just 21 working days. Jewellery will be priced from £50 to £220 and the collection includes bangles, pendants, rings, cufflinks and earrings.

Neil Tinegate, Head of Digital Innovation at Argos, said: “There has been a lot of excitement about 3D printing and we are just beginning to explore the mainstream application of these techniques. We are launching the site this week with our partners in the consortium as a trial, to gauge how customers want to engage with it. We will assess results and learnings to inform future decision making in due course.”
“We are excited by the potential for our customers to get creative in developing their own bespoke products. We are starting with jewellery, but see applications for lighting, homewares and other areas in the future.”

Lisa Harouni, CEO of Digital Forming, added “Argos is leading the way with this project and we are proud to be working with them to bring new 3D printed bespoke products to consumers. We have used revolutionary manufacturing processes to power this website and we are excited by the potential to engage customers in a new way – by inviting them into the design process of their products.”

The range is now available at http://custom.argos.co.uk/.

The 3DP Bridge project
This website will test the findings of the 3DP Bridge project to unlock design freedoms in additive manufacturing. It is a collaborative partnership of four partners; Argos, Digital Forming, EOS and Assa Ashuach Studio who are leaders in the 3D design and print/additive manufacturing sectors. The findings from this trial will inform further R&D to allow it to be scaled in future to a full commercial offer.

The exploitation of 3D printing as a manufacturing process and its use by mainstream retailers has big advantages but has been seriously inhibited by the additive manufacturing process to date preventing adoption. This project brings together expertise across the relevant sectors for all stages of the process to solve the problems in a live environment using the Argos model. It seeks to resolve issues in the additive manufacturing or 3D printing process/supply chain and the way this currently inhibits design and freedom of customisation for retail customers,

Jewellery & Earring Trends at London Fashion Week

London Fashion Week has hardly had time to get out of it’s high heels and massage it’s sore feet yet already journalists are waxing lyrical about this season’s trends. Award winning clip on earring specialist jewellers, make-me-beautiful.co.uk, were at Somerset House to meet colleagues, be wowed by suppliers and to survey the latest trends. Make Me Beautiful founder, Misae Richwoods, outlined three key trends in accessories for S/S12:

1. Get Feminine – With Bora Aksu, Jena Theo and Emilia Wickstead exhibiting bare-breasted models on the first day’s catwalk’s alone, London Fashion Week S/S12 steps away from it’s recent flirtation with androgyny to re-declare a passionate love affair with the female form. Think elegant curves and shapes, daintily finishing often with a subversive or slightly sinister twist adding a bit of playful cheekiness.

2. Geometrics Make a Statement – Powerful Aztec shapes with angular cuts and asymmetrical finishes make the season’s statement wear as Holly Fulton, Jaeger London and Sass and Bide all bounced the house in bold numbers. Brilliant Swarovski crystals, oversized pearls and multi-textural bodywork provide perfect staging and emphasis with sharp colours and spiky shapes that flashback the 80s

3. Keep it Natural – With florals (Erdem, Christopher Kane and Ashish) and animal prints (House of Holland) making their way onto the catwalk a range of decorative reminiscence backs it up with Cabinet including antlers, Renaissance featuring deers, Mawi showing their Minnie Mawi collaboration with Disney Couture and Les Néréides showing a whole arc full of cute characters and cheerful flowers.

Fashion156 Magazine tweeted afterwards, “LFW is so strong this season. Reminds me of McQueen’s LFW era when you walked out of his shows feeling you could bounce over a skyscraper.” Make Me Beautiful announce they will feature a curated collection of some of the most desirable and wearable pieces from some of the brightest designers as they increase choice in their specialist clip on earring collection. Look out for new designer partnerships being announced from late Autumn or follow Minxy’s Jewellery on Facebook or Twitter.

Ernest Jones Launches Ernest Jones Love & Life

Ernest Jones is changing the way it describes itself – the jewellery and watch brand will now be known as Ernest Jones: Love & Life. Still maintaining its specialisation in diamond jewellery, luxury watch brands and fashion brands, Ernest Jones is focusing its attention on the special occasions behind customers’ purchases – for those love and life occasions.

The new description of ‘Love & Life’ is about celebrating those moments that matter in life, whatever the occasion, weddings, achievements, birthdays, or new arrivals. By introducing ‘Ernest Jones: Love & Life,’ the jeweller is keen to re-emphasise the importance of the emotional connection with the brand and the reasons why customers purchase diamonds, watches and fashion brands.

Customers can experience this now at Ernest Jones: Love & Life Exeter and the new Westfield Stratford City store which are already providing customers with a new shopping experience with more space for one to one customer service and a more luxurious interior décor.

Signet and Ernest Jones marketing director Colin Wagstaffe said: “Our new proposition ‘Love & Life’ reflects the fact that every item of precious jewellery or prestige timepiece that we sell to our customers is bought to mark an important moment that matters to them in life.

This can range from occasions like an engagement, wedding or Christmas to a big birthday, a milestone anniversary, the arrival of a newborn or a treat to oneself for that hard-earned promotion.

We wanted a simple yet meaningful proposition and description of the brand which demonstrates the role that Ernest Jones proudly plays in peoples’ lives. We are here for their love and for their life.”

The high street jeweller wants to be recognised by customers as an affordable luxury shopping destination – somewhere that their personal story and experience is valued.Jewellery is a thoughtful purchase, and a special one that customers take time to make a decision about. When a customer buys an engagement ring from Ernest Jones, the brand becomes part of that customer’s love and life journey, associated with their happy times and essentially part of those significant moments that matter to them. By emphasising the importance of the customer’s individual journey through good service, beautiful products and an inspiring shopping environment, the brand aims for customers to return to Ernest Jones for future gifts or special occasions to come.

To further explain the Ernest Jones new definition, more personal lifestyle imagery capturing life’s important moments that customers can relate to will be displayed along with emotive messaging within POS, in-store brochures, online and emails.

Ernest Jones’ expert staff are trained to the highest standards and offer bespoke services in store including the workshop for bespoke designs and Jewellery and watch repair – Atelier. The Atelier service offers a variety of prestige watch and jewellery services carried out by highly skilled Atelier technicians. They use classic techniques and state of the art equipment to repair, service and maintain timepieces and jewellery to the highest standard. All Ernest Jones stores have a dedicated Atelier technician either onsite or within the local area.

After 60 years – a diamond anniversary – of working with many prestigious brands, Ernest Jones brings customers watch brands including Cartier, Rolex, Breitling and Tag Heuer. Ernest Jones has a range of diamond, fashion and gift brands including bead and charm giant Chamilia, DKNY, Ted Baker and specialist diamond jewellery brands LeVian, Tolkowsky and Leo diamond.

Diamond Jewellery Market Growth in East

Recent figures suggest that the market for diamond jewellery in the near future is expected to be driven by increased growth in India, China and the Gulf.

These emerging Eastern markets have demonstrated significant growth in the past few years, with diamonds proving increasingly popular as both a luxury item and a long-term investment.

By 2015, it is predicted that India, China and the Gulf will equal or surpass the market share of the US, which currently stands at 35 to 40 per cent. In 2010, India and China were already up 31 and 25 per cent respectively.

However, with worldwide reserves of diamonds at an all-time low, this new growth in Eastern countries means the balance between supply and demand is set to become more mismatched than ever; forecasts warn that demand is likely to outpace lower levels of diamond supply for many years to come.

With diamonds only getting rarer, it’s likely that the value of diamonds will continue to ascend on a global scale in the same way that gold and silver prices have already, increasing the natural treasure’s worth in the long term.

Although diamond prices have already begun to reflect the imbalance between supply and demand, the view that diamonds are an ‘investment vehicle’ that has the potential to grow – or at least remain the same – means customers are continuing to buy.

When compared to the inflated prices of gold, diamonds also – for the time being – pose a more affordable alternative in an unsteady economy.

It is yet to be seen how the rising value of diamonds will affect the production and/or prices of popular jewellery brands, popular in both the East and West, which feature diamond-encrusted pieces in their collections. For now, however, fans of Pandora jewellery and the like need not worry.

Visit the Jewel Hut, one of the UK’s leading jewellery websites, today to view an extensive collection of diamond jewellery.

Shalina Ganatra, Head of Multi-Channel for H. Samuel, is delighted to be able to offer such diversity of price and depth of range to H.

This is good news for fans of the famous fashion brand and an opportunity for consumers who haven’t yet discovered the glamorous brand to enjoy the full range available.

Pandora Jewellery Line Launches Online Mag

The Copenhagen-based jeweller behind the Pandora bracelets range is set to venture into online publishing to help it to stay in contact with its millions of customers worldwide.

The first issue of the online magazine will launch on 20th June 2011 and will be sent to the 1.6 million members of their website-based Pandora Club.

The magazine will feature behind the scenes insights into the brand, fashion shoots, style tips and the stories behind customer’s purchases of Pandora jewellery and bracelets. Published six times per year, the magazine will initially launch in an international format which the company eventually hopes to be able to adapt with local content such as special events and promotions.

The launch of the magazine marks an important step in the evolution of the company. Since the UK launch in 2006 the company’s product range, which now includes rings and watches, has been selling at a phenomenal rate. The company has managed supply and demand successfully, due in large part to its integrated designs, manufactures and distribution.

Founded in 1982, Pandora jewellery is today sold in more than 55 countries on six continents through over 10,000 points of sale, including more than 450 Pandora branded concept stores as well as online from stores such as thejewelhut.co.uk.

Whilst the financial projections were made successfully, what could not have been seen is the way in which consumers have taken the brand to their hearts. Pandora bracelets have become very different from a standard jewellery product; it has taken on a life of its own and has become a part an important constituent of the lives of its wearers. This symbiotic relationship has created many repeat customers who have made their charm bead collection an integral part of their lives.

Mikkel Berg, executive marketing director, quoted in a recent Marketing Week article, said: “This magazine rewards our customers’ loyalty and gives new opportunities for them to share their thoughts with each other and the company.”

To ensure that you get your copy sign up online on the Pandora website at pandora.net. For more information on Pandora jewellery, visit popular UK jewellery site the Jewel Hut at http://www.thejewelhut.co.uk.

The programme is designed to support teachers in their day-to-day operations with a range of software including a diary, timetable, lesson plans, calculator and access to numerous educational worksheets to support all areas of the national curriculum.

The scheme is also supported by recognised educational partners such as the Royal Society of Chemistry who provide some of the educational content on the memory sticks for teachers to use and also provide easy access to their own websites through the sticks.

Security is vital with any data tool used to carry information and each of the Memory4Teachers memory sticks is password protected and encrypted. This means that teachers can be assured that the information carried on the memory sticks remains confidential.

To get a memory stick, teachers simply have to register on the Memory4Teachers website and a key will be sent to them in January 2010.

Signet Trading and leading affiliate network, buy.at, has announced a partnership which will offer consumers greater access to money saving offers on gifts, jewellery and watches.

Signet Trading is the parent company to the UK’s leading high street jewellers H Samuel, Ernest Jones and Leslie Davies. As the UK’s leading jewellery and watch retailer, Signet offers a huge range of leading brand watches and jewellery and a wide range of offers and promotions.

Gold Recycling Service at H.Samuel

H.Samuel has launched a new gold recycling service, offering consumers the opportunity to exchange their old and unwanted jewellery for cash.

With the rise in gold prices and a growing demand for websites offering cash for gold, H.Samuel has begun to offer customers a high quality and secure service. Operating as an online-only offering, consumers simply have to request a pack, send in their gold and wait for a quote by email or telephone. If they accept the quote, a cheque will be sent to them within 72 hours.

In these cash strapped times and with Christmas fast approaching, H.Samuel’s new gold recycling service could prove a great help for consumers who find themselves a little bit short of cash. With none of the risks involved in taking out a loan, plus the added security of using a major high street retailer, raising some extra cash couldn’t be easier, safer or more convenient.

H.Samuel gold recycling is easy to use; customers fill in their details and a gold recycling pack will be sent to them free of charge and with no obligation.

After receiving their gold recycling pack, customers complete the enclosed form and place their unwanted gold into the protective packaging provided. The items are then posted using the prepaid special delivery envelope. Postage is free and the package is insured for up to £500.

H.Samuel will then contact the customer with a valuation by phone or email. The customer can either accept or reject the offer. If the customer accepts the valuation, a cheque will be sent to them within a few days.

H.Samuel will buy gold in any condition, even if it is tangled, broken or has missing stones. This applies to rings (not stone-set), earrings (singles or pairs), loose earring backs and body jewellery, cufflinks, tie pins etc, hallmarked and un-hallmarked gold, and gold which has been purchased abroad. There is no need for customers to clean or sort items before sending.

The new H.Samuel Gold Recycling service is unfortunately unable to accept: gold plated jewellery, platinum, silver, stone set jewellery (e.g. diamond rings), coins, bars, ingots, sovereigns and kruggerands, watches, new items or items that appear new (e.g., price tagged) or dental gold.

Gold recycling at H.Samuel is perfect for consumers who want to exchange gold for cash with a trustworthy and secure service.

Ernest Jones Celebrates Tennis and Summer

Despite the unpredictability of the weather and regardless of sporting performances, Brits are opting for year-round strawberries on and off centre court. To show its support, Ernest Jones is offering customers the chance to get behind the British efforts at Wimbledon with price reductions on selected tennis bracelets, and Chamilia beads and charms with summer and tennis related themes.

ernestjones

Beads and charms are the ideal summer jewellery to wear at Wimbledon as they perfectly match the festival-like atmosphere of this prestigious tournament. One of the best selling charms of the summer is the Chamilia strawberry. Since its recent introduction to Ernest Jones, the jewellery chain has received a volley of demand and has had to order in extra punnets.

Chamilia jewellery was founded in 2002 by Killian Rieder and Jeff Julkowski and is based on the concept of putting design into the hands of the customer. Killian, a former designer with fashion icon Polo, wanted Chamilia to be personalised to allow women to change and customise their jewellery to fit their mood, moment or occasion, like a chameleon that changes to suit its environment.

The Chamilia collection at Ernest Jones consists of bracelets and necklaces in both silver and gold, with a huge selection of beads and charms that can be used to create personalised jewellery to suit each customer. Also in silver and gold and set with colourful crystals, gems and diamonds, the bead collection features a range of Disney characters and fun, fashionable designs allowing customers to create their own personalised jewellery.

The Chamilia tennis bracelet is another great piece of jewellery for the summer season. Made famous in 1987 by super-glamorous tennis star Chris Evert, the tennis bracelet is a string of dazzling diamonds worn around the wrist. This type of bracelet was previously known as an in-line bracelet because it is, essentially, a line of diamonds around the wrist. During a match in the 1987 US Open, Chris Evert’s bracelet broke, scattering diamonds around the court. This accident bought her time to recover her breath and eventually go on to win the match. Since then bracelets consisting of a string of diamonds have been known as tennis bracelets.

Ernest Jones features a wide range of tennis bracelets in 9ct and 18ct white and yellow gold. Starting with cubic zirconia bracelets and going right up to tennis bracelets featuring a total three carats of diamonds. A selection of the tennis bracelets featured are now being offered at reduced prices, making them an even more appealing treat for customers.

The bypass tension set ring features a captivating design that truly showcases the diamond, and is available in high polish or satin finish. For him, the handsome “FORGE” tungsten and black diamond ring is an attention-grabbing alternative to traditional men’s wedding bands. The 7-mm wide satin finish tungsten band features a high polish groove in the middle of the ring, which sets the stage for three opulent black diamonds encased in white gold bezel.

An alternative to traditional diamonds, the black diamond has recently been favored among celebrities such as Carmen Electra, whose engagement ring’s stone is a black diamond set against white diamonds.

Each collection comes under the Mai Mai Jewels company and for the first time all of our jewellery collections can be found in one space. In line with past and current trends, standout jewellery is bolder than seen in previous years.

Statement necklaces and bracelets from our Iced Candy collection are studded with large semi precious stones such as amethyst, agate, natural crystal and green and lemon jade.

Our gold brushed cuff bracelets are decorated with large crystal and rhinestone encrusted vintage brooches that look amazing. The bold one-off statement cuffs and bracelets are available from the Glamour39.com vintage section.

Florals are the focus for us creatively and soft corsages have been used as pretty decoration within the Mai Mai and Diva Princessa ranges. Our silk flower corsage necklaces and bracelets are made with vintage silk and beads. Within our corsage range, we have teamed together silk flowers and crystals in black and white for a dramatic colour contrast. The Mai Mai range incorporates semi precious hand carved flowers and stones detailing the natural influences currently seen on the catwalks. Big chunky natural beads from the Mai Mai range have been used to create double wrap bracelets in Lapis, tiger’s eye, denim sodalite and Jade.

Pendant jewellery is just as popular and our large pendants made from faceted cut semi precious stones are available from our Gems Bijoux and Iced Candy collections.

Vintage jewellery which has already followed previous trends is available from our large vintage collection from the 1930s through to the 1980’s.

Melrose Jewelers would like to thank its nearly 10,000 Rolex watch customers for their loyalty and support through this tough economy and wishes everyone a warm and prosperous 2009

Melrose Jewelers, USA’s #1 Online Rolex Watch Retailer, http://www.melrosejewelers.com, would like to wish its nearly 10,000 Rolex watch customers and its many Rolex customers-to-be a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, and a Happy New Year! We, at Melrose Jewelers, know these are tough economic times and, like many this year, Melrose Jewelers has struggled while selling its Rolex watches at a heavy discount, on the Internet. At times Melrose Jewelers has sold its Rolex watches at or just above cost, losing money in its business, in order to help consumers purchase a Rolex watch at an affordable, reasonable, and non-exploitative cost. Melrose Jewelers believes that ethics in the jewelry & watch industry are lacking and MelroseJewelers.com was established with the sole purpose of bringing Rolex, the most popular luxury watch brand and one of the most philanthropic companies in the world, to the masses of hard working American men and women.

Melrose Jewelers was established nearly 5 years ago and has grown its websites to the top ranking in the United States, United Kingdom, & Canada, shipping nearly 10,000 authentic Rolex watches in its history. Its employee size has grown 10-fold including as it has supported higher education, recruiting graduates from the University of Southern California (USC), University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), Vanderbilt University, University of California, San Diego (UCSD), Loyola Marymount University (LMU), University of Massachusetts, Western Michigan University, University of California, Riverside and Cornell University.

Founded by its current President, as an MBA student, in order to help pay for his graduate school education, Melrose Jewelers was established with the sole goal of aiding hard-working American citizens to obtain luxury at an affordable price. Mimicking the business models of innovative companies such as Progressive Insurance and CarMax, Melrose Jewelers prices its Rolex watches at as little as 15% above cost as it believes that the percentage is a high enough to allow for a profit for our company while still providing a fair price for consumers. The management team at Melrose Jewelers believes that the jewelry & watch industry has, historically, sought to squeeze high margins out of its customers by occasionally opting to misguide and deceive its customers. Melrose Jewelers believes this is not only wrong but un-American and unethical. We, at Melrose Jewelers, hope to set an example for others in our industry by choosing to be honest and straight-forward with our customers, with fixed, discounted pricing, clarity on authenticity and diamond color/clarity, and service-oriented sales incentivized by customer satisfaction, not profit.

Melrose Jewelers would like to thank the following people for helping to make its business a success: its hard-working employees and their families who put up with their long hours and late nights coming home, its watchmakers, polishers, and jewelers who work tirelessly on our watches to make our customers’ smiles come alive, its many vendors and strategic partners including its web development and design teams who keep its website up and running, its analysts and writers who have developed the best Rolex education and information website on the web athttp://www.melrosejewelers.com/content/rolex_education.htm and the world’s most popular Rolex and luxury watch Blog at http://www.melrosejewelers.com/rolex-watch-blog/, Federal Express for shipping our watches with a near 0.0% loss rate, the Rolex corporation, a company which opts to give the majority of its hard-earned profits back to charity year after year, and lastly, you, our customers whose daily interaction with us has not only enriched our lives, but who have helped us feed our families, pay our student loans, and allowed us, as individuals to survive through these tough economic times.

Lastly, Melrose Jewelers would like to thank its competitors, who have kept us on our toes, continuously innovating and challenging us to be better at what we do. Melrose Jewelers, in 2008, performed a series of test purchases from a number of our competitor websites and found the following companies to have excellent quality watches in their respective countries. Melrose Jewelers believes in fair trade and healthy competition. We, at Melrose Jewelers, feel we offer the best value on the Net for any Rolex watch but, simply put, if you’re not buying a Rolex from Melrose Jewelers, we encourage you to buy a Rolex from any of the fine companies below.

United States:
