BNH @ Ronnie Scott's

Monday, 18 July 2011

The Brand New Heavies at Ronnie Scott's was just one of those things that couldn't be missed. And we had a hot sweaty night with a room full of party animals (us included). It was a beautiful combination of the company of good friends, a really nice meal, a legendary venue and one of the coolest bands on the planet covered in 109 bling. There was a lot of love in that room, so much actually that security look nervous.

Simon and Andrew were swinging their crystal covered prayer necklaces made for the occasion and Rita Hot Stuff was strutting her bracelets on the tambourine while she was singing her heart out in sweet harmony with the ultimate BNH queen NDea.

I want to do it all over again! NOW!

Welcome In The Workshop Josh
Tuesday, 2 August 2011

109 is a very small company (hey, check me out beading by myself watching MTV and drinking tea) and every thing 109 does is personal. Everything!

So I personally had a very cool day when word came to me that Josh T. Pearson liked a specific piece from the collection and I sent it off to him as fast as I could. Read more...

Double Wrap Bracelets
Tuesday, 15 February 2011

At 109 HQ we have completely fallen in-love with our new double wrap bracelets! The first prototypes feels so smooth and soft even though they are made of tough string and hard stones.

We will keep experimenting with the beads and want to try some rough looking turquoise and also look for some large chunks of sterling silver.

We do think though that we have found the perfect string; greasy waxed cotton string! It is both soft and strong. Read more...

Special Commissions
Wednesday, 24 November 2010

Sometimes we get hold of some amazing pendants or special stones that would impossible to source enough of to actually include them in our collection. But we then make as many pieces as we can and sell them as special commissions. These 2 pieces will be available in Poison Angel very soon, and if you like what you see then you better be quick to snap them up! Read more...

Peter Andre -Accelerate
Sunday, 31 October 2010

We were abselutly delighted when we spotted this perfect shot of Peter Andre wearing 4 of our pieces on the cover of his new album 'Accelerate'. We 100% love the beads he has chosen to mix around his wrist. It is refreshing to see soft creme colours mixed with the wooden colours. And we love that he uses necklaces as bracelets too!

And can you believe that we have our beads on a cd-cover!!? Here is something super special for our 'wall of fame' in the office! Read more...
