| |  | Spring or back to Winter? Just when we thought we had escaped it perhaps we will get some snow after all. Having been lulled into a false sense of security with the extremely mild winter we have had, the beginning of February seems to be bringing us a sudden blast from Siberia!
The ducks and swans are back to skating on the Meare at Thorpeness although there is a sense of Spring around the corner. The evenings are getting lighter and hopefully soon the mornings will be too. With half-term almost upon us - can you believe it?- what better time than to blow away the cobwebs with a brisk walk between Aldeburgh and Thorpeness.
We have just had news that planning has been granted for the redevelopment of the current site which we are all really excited about. This will mean that come Easter 2013 we will be in a brand new, purpose built centre with all mod cons! We are very much still in business and will continue to be until the middle of September so come and see us over the summer period. Come the end of August there will be lots of bargains as we will have to close for a short time whilst the work is being done.
I also now have a small space at Marlesford Mill near Woodbridge on the A12. This is a fab building which had been run as a private enterprise. The owners have decided to make the building work for them by renovating a couple of floors and renting space to other traders. The centre reopened on the 3rd December and is worth a visit with a selection of interesting items from around 27 traders to date.
Keep an eye out here for more news and be sure to come and see us soon! |
| Introduction to Jaipur Jewels UK Jaipur is one of the most colourful cities in India and is famous for its culture, forts and palaces. Popularly known as the "Pink City" because of the pink-coloured sandstone buildings in the old city - Jaipur is rich in history and culture. The past comes alive in magnificent forts and palaces, blushed pink, where once lived the Maharajas.
Jaipur is the second largest gem and hand-crafted jewellery centre in India and it is estimated that around 280,000 of the population depend on the gem and jewellery industry.
Having been lucky enough to travel extensively throughout Asia and the Orient as a teenager, I have always had a fascination for the rainbow coloured jewels, quality craftsmanship and unique settings of hand-crafted Indian silver jewellery. It is with this interest in mind that I am delighted to be able to import some of this hand-crafted Indian silver and gemstone jewellery for you too, to experience.
You too can now enjoy a piece of India’s history by owning precious Indian silver jewellery which has been hand-crafted using centuries old techniques. Choose from a range of classical, contemporary and traditional designs.
There is something for all occasions - everyday wear, an evening out or perhaps a gift for a special occasion.

| About Jaipur Jewels UK - Now under the banner of Sandlings Ltd Jaipur Jewels UK has now been established since December 2004 and during that time has undergone a few changes. I started the company off with a view to offering a range of affordable but quality jewellery selling at country fairs, craft sales etc. This worked quite nicely for a couple of years but as you can imagine trying to juggle family life etc and a business is not easy. Most fairs being at the weekend and evenings was a slight problem and the logistics of arranging babysitters, helpers etc was tedious and hard-work. We also got a dog which added to the conundrum. The weather was also a deciding factor, quite often being so unpredictable that it ended up spoiling many events!
At the beginning of 2009 I rented a cabinet at the Emporium in Thorpeness and this has proved to be a great move, later in the year I expanded into two cabinets! Things are now moving on again and from 1st December 2009, Jaipur Jewels ceased to trade as a single company and become part of Sandlings Ltd.
Sandlings Ltd is company that I started and occupies one room upstairs and a space in the main downstairs area at Thorpeness Emporium in Thorpeness. I trade in small items of furniture, rugs, homewares, collectibles and many other things. This is really exciting and so far things are going well and I hope will also prove to be a success. The website continues to run in the same way and you are still able to buy items at the Emporium from Cabinet 2 as usual. I am also managing the other traders at the Emporium and organise rota duties and keep the day to day accounts for the owner who is away in London much of the time.
You can purchase items directly from the Jaipur Jewels UK website through the totally secure payment system, all items listed are in stock (unless marked otherwise) and will be sent to you within a few days. Occasionally an item may be unavailable if it has been sold elsewhere but I endeavour to keep the website up to date!
I hope that you find the Jaipur Jewels UK website interesting and informative - if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. |  |
