Here at last are the long awaited images from the release of The Wild at the Jewels for Christmas event in Wellington on the third of December.
Please forgive us for the delay, Christmas is such a frantic time, and we have been VERY busy in the workshop!

We would like to thank Stephen A'Court for taking all our photos on the evening... he has captured the wonderful magical quality of the scene just perfectly!
You might be interested to know the story behind this range from The Wild... as the name suggests, Annie and I have taken our inspiration from the creatures of the wild - and in this range, we have looked to the forest creatures: the stag, the fox and the owl.
We have used elements of design from each of these animals, the antler of the stag, the feathers and talons of an owl and the fur and tail of the fox.
Bridget (on the right) is wearing the Fox-tail lariat, in silver with a small citrine.
Sarah is wearing one of the bronze double chain necklaces.

Each animal is paired with a different precious stone, that reminds you of their habitat and mood. The Fox is linked with Citrine, a clear amber coloured stone, reminiscent of warm sunlight for basking in.
The stag's antlers are paired with green tourmaline, in delicious shades of leafy, olive and moss green, like filtered light through a forest canopy...
The owl is given the moonstone, like a clear drop of dew or a distant haunting moon.
The pieces also come in either white silver, antiqued silver with a hint of tarnish, or bronze. They are carved lovingly with textures of feather and fur.

| The enchanted garden party, the beautiful models chat over tea and tarot cards... |
For the launch of The Wild we transformed the lounge of the Paramount into an enchanted garden, where our models and musicians could lounge and create a charmed diorama.
 |
| Michelle Scullion and Ale Acevedo were our gypsy players, sending ethereal gorgeous music soaring over the evening. |

| Annie looking lovely! |
The Jewels for Christmas boutique jewellery market was the perfect place to launch The Wild, with so many avid jewellery lovers about!
 |
| Vaune holding court with the bubbles! |
Annie started the Jewels for Christmas event three years ago now, and it has been growing in elegance, atmosphere and popularity ever since!
It's not just a place for girls to come and shop either, we spotted many a hot young gentleman purchasing, for both themselves and their girlfriends.
It was a superb evening, warm, with none of that pesky Wellington wind to bother us.

| Maria reading her tarot.... |
The costumes were styled by Cathy Tree Harris, and you can see her beautiful treatment of our colour pallette in the outfits the girls got to wear. Maria Dubrowska is a divine contemporary dancer, and as it turns out, can do your tarot for you as well~ that's what we like in a girl... a little bit of magic and mystery!
