No Regrets by Stephen Webster

'No Regrets they only hurt' a once famous singer sang...  But Stephen Webster would have something to say about that.  No Regrets is part of his new men’s silver collection Alchemy in the UK. 

Taking inspiration from the British Punk Rock era, Alchemy in the UK reflects on iconic record covers, fanzines and fliers from the 1970’s and 1980’s punk music scene.

“By depicting the union jack flag using rose gold, black rhodium and silver studs we put a twist on a British punk rock reference.  Never straying far from the music, we turned to the icons of the punk era to create the latest in our line of men’s collections.  It’s been exciting for us to watch the popularity of men’s jewellery grow and we’re always proud of how well received our men’s lines have been over the past 10 years,” comments Creative Director, Stephen Webster.

Well we tip our bowler hat to you Stephen.  Another job well done sir.

So our love affair for Turkish jewellers goes on, and on.
