A Year of Hidden GemsIt's amazing what the turn of a new year can create within. This time last year, I was ready for a good one. Losing my Dad hit me hard and my energy and outlook towards my creative work and business definitely lagged. So 2020, for me, was the chance to re-focus, prioritise and ultimately 'get shit done'. And despite the odd year it's been, I have done just that. Its oddity actually aiding and giving permission to pause and recalibrate to excel forwards. Personally and business wise, we're buzzing. To my clients and the gemstones I have worked with, thank you for your inspiration and being you. I couldn't create what I do without your commission, your stories and your wonder. To my friends and family whose belief and support never fail, you're all rare, brilliant diamonds. To 2021, I'm on a roll, so let's have it! I have some fantastic commissions, collaborations and events in the making that I can't wait to share, I've started the new year early... Wishing you all the best of years ahead, may it be filled with love, laughter and much happiness. Alice x A few of my 2020 highs.... aliceherald.com had a beautiful make-over AH Bespoke jewels are reaching new heights. The majority of my work is designing unique jewels, either using family gems or sourcing rare diamonds and gemstones, and at times signature cutting to tailor-set designs. I push and challenge my design and the technical boundaries of my team so we grow as a whole and give back to clients in the form of unique jewels. AH by Appointment is alive and kicking in central Wanaka. I am so enjoying meeting new people and inviting clients into my private appointment space to discuss jewels.
