I love gazing at jewellery and could spend hours exploring it’s many delights, and when I find a jeweller such as Vinny&Charles who are dedicated to using ethical, conflict free and high quality gemstones, then I’m right there for it. For the most important jewellery you’ll ever buy it’s even more special to buy solid gold and silver, as the pieces will stand the test of time, and let’s face it lots of wear without looking the worse for wear. Vinny&Charles offer you just this  – solid gold and silver jewellery – the gold in colours such as white, rose or yellow gold (and no plated or gold filled metal bands), their affordable high quality jewellery designed to last.

There are so many styles to choose from including whimsical designs that feature nature inspired pieces with flowers and leaf designs such as this wattle and leaf design or  a double twig wedding band, or perhaps you’d prefer an antique style ring set or  a classic emerald and diamond engagement ring . Look at jewellery in a different way and be inspired to try something different whether it’s a gift for a loved one, or that precious forever set of rings.

Let’s get to know Melody of Vinny&Charles a little better:

Weddings are the best to work on because….

You are working with happy people that really want to be there – it’s such and exciting time and we love to be a part of the journey 🙂

What is something people would be surprised to know about your job or something that challenges you about your job?

There are lots of variables in the jewellery making process, things can go wrong at a lot of points and it can be really stressful at times! What makes it all worthwhile is handing over the rings in person and seeing the customer’s face light up – or to receive beautiful kinds words in writing once the customer receives their jewellery – it’s one of the best feelings ever!

What is it about the creative process that you most enjoy?

Taking a new design from an idea to holding the finished piece in your hands – it’s a feeling that never gets old 🙂

What are you hilariously bad at?

Funnily I used to be really REALLY bad at drawing! Thankfully it’s something that I’ve worked and improved on – given the line of work we are in it’s quite a necessity 😉

When you were small what did you dream of being and where have those dreams taken you?

I have always loved animals so I wanted to be a vet when I was younger – I ultimately decided being a vet in theory and in practice were two different things 😉 Because of that though I have the utmost respect for vets and the work that they do!
