CHARLOTTE LOWE NATALIE PERRY HANNAH SHUCKSMITH founder of Charlotte Lowe Jewellery founder of Natalie Perry Jewellery founder and creative director of Hannah Shucksmith London This years’ IJL experience has proved to be very exciting. I saw a dramatic increase in visits to the stand and attracted international customers as well as UK based retailers. We used the show for the official launch of the new Timeless Treasures wedding and engagement collection, for which we have branched out into gold and platinum in addition to our selection of silver jewellery. IJL was my first trade show and I’m delighted with how it went. My collection was well received and I found there to be a high calibre of retailers, press and other industry professionals visiting the Kickstart stand where I was exhibiting. It enabled me to have some great conversations and gain invaluable feedback. I’m so excited about growing my business and enjoyed the opportunity to meet such wonderful buyers at IJL. As someone new to wholesale I am delighted at the response to my jewellery – I cannot wait to see it in shops nationwide. My direct customers love my jewellery so it will be great for retailers to introduce it to theirs.
