KAZ robertson jewellery...

Last weekend of coburg gallery shopping...

2011-12-16T01:38:00.000-08:00

Just a reminder that this saturday and sunday will be the last weekend the coburg house gallery will be open for shopping!!. the gallery will be open 11-5pm on both days. hopefully you can come along and pick up the last of your christmas prezzies. It's only the gallery that is open and not the studios, but still lots to see and buy x x

Don't forget about the boys...

2011-12-04T05:52:00.000-08:00

here's some cufflinks I've got at the studios today...Last day ... only open until 5pm today don't miss out!! treat the men too, or just yourself x

Coburg's open studios......only TWO WEEKS to go!!!

2011-11-18T06:17:00.000-08:00

I've had a busy morning, managed to make/pack + post a couple of pieces for a shoot for the 'skinny' magazine. It's been organized through 'Papa Stour' so hopefully will get some good images/ press from it!

I'm also busy trying to make some stock for our open studios which are only two weeks away now!!!! Doors open to the public saturday and sunday 3rd and 4th of december 11-5pm, as usual lots to see and buy!! I'm really low on jewellery at the moment as I'm taking part in BOTH chrismas dazzle's this year. London is already opened and has had a good start and for those of you in the manchester area Dazzle opens tomorrow at the royal exchange theatre, hopefully you can manage to get along and have a look!

I'm also still trying to restock places so if your waiting for a 'KAZ' top up hopefully it will be making it's way to you soon!

well back to the bench for now!! x

country fresh air...

2011-11-09T09:30:00.000-08:00

I managed to escape edinburgh for a couple of days to visit the mum and dad Robertson for their 40th wedding anniversary!!! Congratulations mum and dad x x The views there are definitley a change from my shabby chic leith views!!. It wasn't all county walks and fresh air though...I took my manchester dazzle box of goodies to finish, label and price-that's the real life of a jeweller I'm afraid!

A little taster of what's going to manchester. It's my first manchester dazzle, and I don't have any regular stockists there so I'm hoping that I'll pick up lots of new 'Kaz Jewellery' fans, and that the show will be a success x x

Production line....

2011-10-28T08:22:00.000-07:00

one dazzle down...one more to go...need to get stock to my regular stockist, and then it'll probably be open studios time again!!! so my bench is a bit of a production line at the moment!

this is how my jewellery usually looks before I do all the wet and drying and finishing!

and below are a couple of the bangles I've sent off for the london dazzle - bit of a new colour for the 'KAZ' jewellery, inspired by the bridesmaid jewellery I made for Hannah Louise Lamb's(mrs Scott's) wedding x

Last day for 20% discount....

2011-10-14T06:36:00.000-07:00

2011-09-22T09:26:00.000-07:00

Hiya again.....sorry I've been very lazy recently with all my blogging/facebooking and etsying!!! Had a manic month with the miss Hannah Louise Lamb's(now mrs Scott) wedding, which was fantastic and all us girls had a road trip to cornwall for the celebrations!!! Alot of fun(and wine!) was had by all, but now it's time to knuckle down and get back into jewellery mode!!

To celebrate me being back I'm offering everyone a 20% in my etsy shop until friday the 14th of october!! All you need to do is enter the code'KAZ20' at the checkout. Have fun shopping x

Last few days of dazzle left...

2011-08-25T01:26:00.000-07:00

just a reminder if you haven't already made it along to the edinburgh Dazzle at their new venue - George Square Theatre - then you're running out of time.....monday the 29th august is the last day..Hurry! x

I've also sent work to 'hung' in inverness this week so if your up that way you can find some 'KAZ'. And I'll also be sending out work to 'Sarah Hutcheson Jewellery in morningside, Edinburgh later today(hopefully!) so pop in and pay her a visit, you might even get to meet Ruby her gorgeous wee doggie x x

2011-08-22T04:18:00.000-07:00

nice little 'swop top ring' included on the bottom row x

Brooches...smooches!

2011-05-05T07:53:00.000-07:00

I've just sent work away to the 'Ornament' exhibition taking place at Rua Red, south dublin arts centre. The exhibition runs from 14th may till the 18th of june. Here's a photo of the stairway that inspired the work for the exhibition and a photo of some of the finished brooches-there was a little vintage kaz brooch slipped into the show too as I thought it worked with the new pieces.

Ambitious...or a bit mad???

2011-04-13T01:34:00.000-07:00

So, I've started this MASSIVE necklace. When finished I think it will be quite something, however it's going to be a mission to actually make. Every little square of resin needs to be filed, finished, drilled and fittings attached!! and some will be patterned too!!! I started off really excited about it and cut out all the squares, since then its sat on my bench....probably for about 4 weeks!!! I need to start maybe doing a few little bits a day. I'll let you know if it makes it to a finished piece! x

springtime sunshine x

2011-03-29T06:28:00.000-07:00

All this sunshine and springtime weather is making me happy...so I'm going to spread the happiness and I'm currently offering 20% off in my etsy shop!!!! I've added a couple of new items too so lots to choose from, maybe treat your mum for mothers day? or just treat yourself!

To claim the discount please 'follow' my blog or 'like' my facebook page then go shopping in my etsy shop find something/s you want....at the checkout you enter 'SPRING' into the voucher box and the discount withh be deducted! easy as that x

warm me up! etsy treasury x

BACK TO THE BENCH!!

2009-10-13T09:04:00.000-07:00

Well that's origin over for another year!! nearly never made it back as I was waiting for my train homewards at the wrong station!!! whoopsie - helps if you check your ticket properly!! Ive had a brilliant time down in london, although a bit knackered after it all!! I don't envy the other girls who have another whole week of show to go!!!

anyways thanks to all of you who were able to come and see me. I met loads of interesting contacts, customers and other makers. It's a good time to catch up with other designers about other shows/ galleries etc that are worth doing as well as selling direct to customers. It's really nice to actually see and meet the people who buy and wear my jewellery, something you don't get selling through shops/online etc and really encouraging to see so many returning customers to add to their Kaz collections!

but now Im back in the studio starting work on orders from the show and trying to sort out christmas stock for my outlets. Yes sorry I did just mention the dreaded 'C' word!!!!

no rest for the wicked!!
