A rare Diamond Jubilee gift...


It’s almost HM The Queen’s diamond Jubilee. Our naughty clothes have been caught on numerous occasions partying without Sarah and I. How naughty!  
Our silversmith, Mr Ord has joined the celebrations by making some very special pieces especially for us.


To celebrate, the bangles have been hallmarked in Edinburgh and include HM The Queens Jubilee mark. This Jubilee mark is being used for one year only, from September 2011 to August 2012; thereafter, it ceases.The hallmark itself depicts a young Queen Elizabeth wearing an over sized crown, the image itself set in a diamond shaped surround.

Mr Ord is a Grandfather to Tabitha, Magnus, Suzanna, Isobel, Jonathan and Eden as well as a wonderful silversmith. When he’s not busy with his Granddad duties, our silversmith keeps himself busy by making silver for unik. Mr Ord was brought up in South Africa, commissioned from The Royal Military Academy Sandhurst into The Gordon Highlanders, commanding his battalion in the first Gulf War. He retired in 1992, and took his MSc degree, at The University of Stirling.

His understated pieces are beautiful, timeless and perfect for a new baby born in the Queens diamond Jubilee year. Equally perfect for a Birthday or Christening gift for a special little one. Each bangle can be engraved with the details of the child it is being given to or with a special message.
The bangle is expandable so perfect for growing children. Smaller sizes are available.


To order contact sales@unikgifts.co.uk. 
They are so special and new that they haven't even be added to the website yet! The special hallmark expire at the end of July so these pieces are limited.  Order early to avoid disappointment. 


A simply beautiful keepsake to be treasured forever.
