Coming Up in 2020

We open 2020 with a wonderfully evocative Short Story by one of our regular contributors Annie Dawid – ‘June’s 21st Birthday, and the Mothers’ is a bittersweet tale with an optimistic ending. The story will also be available as a Podcast read by Cherise Silvestri. Our Podcasts can be found on various platforms worldwide.

The Brooch of the Month for January is by Olive Commons.

Don't to forget to let us know what you think of all our stories and our brooches @casketfiction.

Journeys through Jewellery

Rue Pigalle designs women-only trips around the world, for intimate groups of art, jewellery and culture lovers. Isabelle describes herself as having three passions; jewellery, art and craftsmanship. She takes her clients on journeys of discovery around the world, destinations include Paris, Barcelona and New York. There are trips to London planned in 2020 and as a prelude Isabelle asked me to write two pieces on this year’s Goldsmiths’ Fair. Followers of my Brooch of the Month blog will know I regularly visit and shop at the Goldsmiths’ Fair, so I was delighted to take up the challenge and report back all the highlights for readers of Rue Pigalle.
