Simon Harcourt from Harcourt Design is a man who knows leather. He is a master craftsman, but also a talented, innovative designer and he puts his skills to great use. When he showed me a bicycle he had clad in leather, I was smitten and suggested that Nicholas James might be able to lift the [...]
Gu Puddings and Nicholas James create a chocolate and diamond dream…
I am delighted to be able to officially announce a joining of forces that should not only whet the appetite but also dazzle the eyes. We have teamed up with the famous Gu Puds and as of today when you buy one of their wonderful desserts, it will come with a unique on-pack code. Simply [...]
Ecstasy Premiere – Nicholas James hits the red (or in this case yellow) carpet…
Last night saw the UK premiere of renowned Scottish author Irvine Welsh’s Ecstasy starring the steamrolling talent Adam Sinclair in his first major leading role. Adam came to Nicholas James to choose some jewellery for his wife to wear and left completely in awe with one of our Savage Sovereigns. Choosing Slag, the brown gold [...]
Shaken not stirred at Nicholas James…
Well, we’ve gone and done it again. None of us here at Nicholas James like to remain static for too long. We come to our beautiful shop every day and soon find the urge comes upon us to make some changes to our environment. We can change our curved wall, we can swap our furniture, [...]
Our new Titanic half Sovereign Ring is unveiled…
Just finished this 18ct white gold ‘Titanic’ ring containing an original 1912 half Sovereign. Designed to commemorate the centenary of this great ship and its tragic end, the ring is hand engraved and enamelled in graduating shades of blue to represent the sea. Set with nearly 200 diamonds, some used to depict the fateful iceberg, [...]
Orange dogs yes, but we used to have an orange shop too…
So, you know we have an orange dog – but did you know our shop was dressed in orange once? Here’s the proof. We used a vinyl company to come in and cover all our glass bits with matt orange – it totally transformed the shop (which we like to do often). It is important [...]
Our guard dog is feeling blue. Sorry, orange…
We inherited our dog from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home (BDCH). No word of a lie. BDCH commissioned several of these dogs to be made in white plastic. Top designers and celebrities were then given a dog and asked to do whatever they chose to reflect their style – the dogs were then auctioned off [...]
Interested or Pinterested, that is the question?
Despite having survived for a number of years now, I like to think that here at Nicholas James we are fairly on the ball. With our jewellery we work hard to keep introducing wondrous new designs to you, but also to keep up with technology and social media we now find ourselves bitten by the [...]
We have our boxes back!
When we opened the Hatton Garden store, we developed packaging that reflected the look and feel of the shop. Our ring boxes were stunning when they came through. A solid cube of perspex with a central push-out box that opens up to present the ring. They were truly stunning and admired nearly as much as [...]
Chips! You love them, we love them. So much so we made this…
Monday 20th February is a mighty day in the calendar – it is the start of National Chip Week! We all love our chips, even svelte, fit gym bunnies still like a bagful of chips every now and then. A guilty pleasure… Well, we have been working with The Potato Council (yes, there is one!) [...]
