Felicity Gail Win Hand-making Heroes

Over at pressies4princesses, we've been running a £1500 competition to find new handmade gifts. The idea being to promote hand-making in the UK and reward talent. We're pretty fanatical about UK handmade -- over a quarter of the pressies' gift range already is.

The competition culminated in a online vote, which closed 30 April. And, we're delighted to announce This Silver, Onyx and Jade Handcrafted Necklace by Felicity Gail is this year's winner. That's right -- we are planning to run the competition again next year, but bigger and better.



Felicity Gail is the brand name that Jackie Durrans and Debbie Brenner produce and sell their design-led handmade jewellery under. They take style clues from modern art sculpture and furniture. Their striking handcrafted jewellery is already sold at Tate galleries. In fact, the Tate has commissioned this talented duo to craft jewellery for exhibitions.

Jackie and Debbie will receive £500 to invest in their hand-making business. They will also have the opportunity to supply pressies4princesses with their exciting handcrafted jewellery, which could be the start of a great business relationship.
