Ti Sento jewellery is all about creating luxurious, fashionable and accessible jewellery ranges. And their success in doing so shows, having won the prestigious award, ‘Retail Jewellery Brand of the Year’ at the UK Jewellery Awards – for two years in a row.

2013 marks the launch of the SS13 Lines, including the Portofino Collection – one which celebrates the ten-year anniversary of Ti Sento jewellery, having launched its first collection in 2003. Combining Sterling Silver and cubic zirconia in an array of beautiful shapes and sizes, Ti Sento designs pieces in a rainbow of colour to match each fashion season. This season, the top shades are peach and ocean green, and are therefore the central shades of the pastel-inspired Portofino Collection.

Fusing grown-up designs and style with playful charm, Ti Sento jewellery is beautiful, affordable and full of life. Last week, some of the gorgeous new pieces from Ti Sento’s Portofino Collection arrived at Bellefontaines’ Jewellers – and we couldn’t have been more excited! In fact, we were so excited, that we wanted to share it with our lovely customers as soon as possible! Last week, we ran the Mother’s Day Ti Sento Flash Sweepstakes, in order to give one lucky winner a £75 Voucher to spend on Ti Sento here at Bellefontaines’ Jewellers. The lucky winner randomly selected was Grace, who had entered via Twitter – Congratulations again Grace!

Just in case you haven’t seen the new collections from Ti Sento just yet, we thought that we’d show you some of our favourite new pieces.

The first is this beautiful Ti Sento Necklace from the Two-Tone Collection (3800AG). Combining rhodium-plated sterling silver, gold and CZ, this necklace is delicate, mature and effortlessly stylish.

Bold but unquestionably feminine, the edges of Ti Sento’s White Mother of Pearl Bracelet (2645MW) is studded with sparkling white CZ stones, beautifully framing the softly luminescent mother of pearl sections.

Spring-infused and fun, Ti Sento’s Peach Drop Earrings (7528OR) have been playfully created with a winning combination of Sterling Silver, white CZ stones and two beautiful orange stones, in a warm peach hue. Perfect for those sunny spring day outfits.

What do you think? We’d love to have your comments! You can leave us a message here, on our Facebook Page or Twitter Page, or send us an email to info@bellefontainesjewellers.co.uk.

Have a lovely week! We can’t believe it’s snowing again – wrap up warm won’t you!?

Celebrating and honouring mothers, maternal bonds and the influence of mothers in society is something that dates back to the era of the ancient Greeks and the Romans, both of whom held spring festivals dedicated to maternal goddesses. In more recent history, it was the work of activist Julia Ward Howe in 1872, and later that of the purported “Founder of Mother’s Day”, Anna Jarvis, in the early 1900s, that eventually established “Mother’s Day” as an official celebration in 1914.

Celebrated on varying days in different parts of the world, Mother’s Day, or ‘Mothering Sunday’ is always celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent in the UK, in accordance with the Christian calendar. This year, Mother’s Day falls on Sunday 10th March – this weekend!

Here at Bellefontaines’ Jewellers, we believe that Mums deserve to be treated. With this in mind, we’re running some promotions exclusively in the shop and online, helping you to find the perfect gift for Mother’s Day no matter what your budget is.

The first thing that you need to know about is our Mother’s Day Ti Sento Flash Sweepstakes. Until 00:00 (GMT) on Saturday 9th March, we’re giving our UK Facebook Fans and Twitter Followers the chance to win a £75 voucher to spend on Ti Sento, either in our shop or on our website! Entering is easy. If you prefer to use Facebook, just visit www.facebook.com/Bellefontaines and click the ‘Promos’ tab to enter your details. If it’s Twitter you’ll be using to enter, just visit www.twitter.com/Bellejewellers, Follow us, and then Retweet our Sweepstakes Phrase. And hey, if you use both, why not enter once on each website?

When it comes to promotions in the shop, then the best place to start for a Mum that loves sparkle would be in our Capriccio Silver 25% Off Sale. Beautifully setting cubic zirconia within rhodium-plated settings, Capriccio Silver creates beautiful, glittering jewellery in a range of contemporary designs.

However, if the lucky lady this Mother’s Day is more of a charms fan, then perhaps a personalised Nomination bracelet would be the way to go. In the shop, we have already tailored some Nomination charm bracelets ready for Mother’s Day, like this one (below). If you like our designs, you can take one away with you! However, if you want to personalise it yourself, you can always design your own from our extensive range of charms.

Perhaps you want to treat your Mum to something other than jewellery? No problem. We have some adorable sewing kits and pin cushions by Button It, along with sewing accessories from their Cupcake Collection; all cutesy, patterned creations designed for the modern arts’n’craft Mum. What’s more; we have a 25% Off Sale on everything by Button It – meaning that you can treat your Mum without breaking the bank.

In this category i will post all the things that make me smile. Those mostly will be the little things that just have the power to brighten up my day.

The first thing I want to share with you is something I think any girl loves: pearls! These are my pearl & cubic zirconia earrings from Ti Sento Milano that I got from my man. I like to wear them with a chique dress but also think you can wear them with an casual everyday outfit to make it a bit more special.

Timeless and sophisticated, this Gents Vintage Watch by Rotary is hugely versatile, perfect for both dressing up casual daywear, and adding masses of class to your formalwear. With a traditional brown leather strap, the dial features a luxurious gold-plated, round cream dial, with roman numerals adding an elegant finishing touch. Previously £112.00, the timepiece is now available for just £56.00 in the sale.

If you prefer your watches to be of a more modern style, then feast your eyes upon Casio’s robust Wave Ceptor watch. Masculine and durable in its design, this chronograph watch features a tough stainless steel bracelet, with a metallic blue dial. The dial includes NeoBrite hands and markers, and a digital duo-display with an illuminator – these ensure visibility regardless of the light conditions that you’re in. And as if that isn’t enough, the rugged Wave Ceptor watch is radio-controlled, and also features a World Timer, five alarms, Date Alert, time recorder and a stopwatch. What more could you ask of a watch? Prior to the Bellefontaines’ January Sale, this watch would have cost £69.99. Take off 50%, and the Wave Ceptor can now be yours for a staggering £34.99.

In our Ti Sento 30% Off Sale, we think that the Ti Sento Milano Cubic Zirconia Ring (Purple), from the Leading Lady NYC Collection, is definitely worth mentioning. A gorgeous statement piece, this amethyst-coloured ring is made with sterling silver, and is detailed luxuriously with glittering cubic zirconia stones. It is a bold, beautiful piece that demands attention. And if purple isn’t your colour, it’s also available in a deep, mystical sea-green. Although the ring was originally priced at £115.00, when you benefit from our 30% off sale, the ring can be yours for only £80.50.

Hailing from the same collection, comes this sumptuous Ti Sento Pendant, featuring an open pear-drop of cubic zirconia stones, partnered with a lavish, pear-shaped, faceted purple stone. The epitome of indulgence with its glitter and rich colour, the pendant oozes glamour and sophistication. Before the sale, the Ti Sento Pendant would have cost £225.00. Minus 30%, and the sale price is an astounding £157.50 (saving you £67.50!)

Ti Sento Pendants are usually supplied with their own Cord Necklace. However, for that perfect finishing touch, this Ti Sento Silver Necklace, laced with glittering cubic zirconia stones, looks nothing short of sensational when paired with the Ti Sento Pendant. Superbly refined, the necklace can be bought for a fabulous £49.00 in our sale, rather than its usual price of £70.00. What’s not to love?

With much more on sale, it’s our way of saying thank you to our loyal customers this January. Most of the items in our sale are unique offers – so once it’s gone, it’s gone! We’d hate for you to miss out. Pop into the shop when you’re passing, and have a browse – we’d be happy to help you find our very best bargains!

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Well, it’s a week to go until Christmas Eve. And depending on how organised you have been this year, that sentence will have either been met with sheer festive joviality, or it will have struck fear into the very depths of your heart.

Now, we don’t want to pressure you here – but have you bought all of your Christmas presents yet? If not – don’t panic.
Due to the the success of last week’s blog post “It’s The Most Wonderful Time of the Year (For Babies)”, (thank you, all), we’ve decided to once again come to the rescue gift-wise, with a handy, festive selection of our favourite products, ideal for giving as Christmas presents. What would you do without us, eh?

For Her:

For those lovely ladies in your life, something sparkly at Christmas will never go amiss. One of our favourites in the charm category is the sensationally seasonal ‘Let it Snow’ Charm by Ti Sento (£45.00), from their beautifully created ‘Charming’ Collection. With a glorious combination of silver and cubic zirconia, this charming little snowflake is a perfect Christmas memento.

Hailing from the same collection, another sure-fire Christmas winner comes in the form of the ‘Surprise Me’ Charm (£25.00). Adorably and intricately crafted, the charm features a sterling silver bow-adorned present, that hangs delicately from a silver trigger clasp.

If these don’t take your fancy, perhaps Father Christmas could bring our next suggestion across the moonlit sky to your loved one! With a gorgeous star and moon design, the Over the Moon necklace by Sphere of Life (£59.99) feels fabulously Christmassy with its iconic festive symbols. Formed from silver and an 18 carat gold plate, the Over the Moon necklace is a little piece of affordable luxury.

For those earring-fanatics, you can show your love with the gorgeous J’taime Crystal Earrings by the of-the-moment designer Tresor Paris, in a selection of striking colours. We particularly love the passionate red of the St. Remy style, a colour that is associated with both love and Christmas! Perfect! Each colour also comes in three different sizes; 8mm (£29.00), 10mm (£39.00) and 12mm (£49.00).

For him:

For those sporty, adventurous types, the Casio G-Shock (£60.00) is a great, gadgety gift. Here’s a quick list of what he can expect from this watch:

• Auto Illuminator Setting
• e-Data Memory
• World Time
• 1/100th Second Stopwatch
• Repeat Countdown Timer
• 5 Alarms
• Water Resistant up to 200m
• Shock Resistant

On the other hand, for something a bit more traditional, you could opt for a pocket watch – timeless and classy, these timepieces make perfect keepsakes.

If watches aren’t his thing, cufflinks are always a well-received gift. Brighten up his formal occasion outfit or his day-to-day work-wear with these Sterling Silver Circular Cufflinks (£74.00), one of our favourites because of their beautiful simplicity. With swivel fixings, the polished silver cufflinks are truly versatile and will suit a wide range of tastes.

For the Children:

Little girls will absolutely love the Daisy Chain Kit Heath Charm Bracelet (£42.00), which is super-cute and dainty for tiny wrists. Created lovingly with silver and enamel, the bold daisies are linked by a delicate chain to create a fresh and pretty bracelet, ensuring that she’ll feel as pampered as a princess.

For boys, we absolutely love the Junior/Ladies Lorus 50m Steel Watch (£29.99). Grown-up yet decidedly youthful, the steel watch features a formal and stylish black strap. It’s 50m water resistant too, making it sturdy and well-suited to an active lifestyle!

Hopefully, we’ve been able to give you a few ideas! If you wanted to pop by and ask our specialist staff for some more advice gift-wise, we’d be more than happy to help! If you wanted to, you could even send us your questions on Twitter, via Facebook or leave us a message here! We’ll get back to you quick as a flash!

Happy Shopping!
