Trinkets and Tokens – Molly Brown London

by Ellie on August 16, 2010

This is a sponsored post.

A very long time ago, when I was a little girl of just four or five I remember being fascinated with my Grandma’s jewellery box.

To me it was a thing of wonderment, filled with beautiful trinkets and treasures. So enamoured was I, I was given my very own jewellery box for Christmas that year. It was made of white satin with a gold clasp and when opened, inside danced a tiny ballerina to the music box melody of ‘Raindrops keep falling on my head’.

Inside that special box I kept my very own treasures, including my first piece of jewellery, a sterling silver heart ring.

That pretty little box and its contents held so many special memories for me. One day, I hope that I can create share some similar memories with my lovely Little E.

But what would I choose for her? Something beautiful, just like her? Certainly. And, I know exactly where my search would begin!

Molly Brown London, described as ‘Tiffany’s for children’ by UK Vogue, is the UK’s leading children’s jewellery brand. Their collections are abundant with beautifully crafted pieces which are just perfect for little and older girls alike. From christening jewellery to birthday gifts and beyond, there are stunning gifts for every little girl.

The jewellery itself is crafted from precious metals, gorgeous freshwater pearls and gemstones chosen for their clarity, each piece being finished of with Molly Brown London’s signature sterling silver tag. It’s altogether absolutely stunning.

I’ve spent a virtual fortune just browsing, there are so many lovely pieces to choose from!

Now all I need to do is convince Little E’s Daddy, and let the memory making begin.
