The Spitfire turned 90 today!

On March 5, 1936, the prototype Supermarine Spitfire (K5054) completed its maiden voyage at Eastleigh Aerodrome. Although it wouldn't see its first combative flight until 1939.

With Rolls Royce Merlin engines and a sleek elliptical design it was seen as an engineering marvel of its time.

For Hepburn & Hughes Spitfire planes are also what ignited the concept of upcycling heritage material into cufflinks and jewellery - allowing people to wear a piece of aviation history.

Oh my word - the sun is shining and it actually feels warm outside 🌞Although I may have been a bit optimistic with throwing a summer dress on 😆

It's perfect timing though to introduce these beautiful new pieces to our Aquamarine collection - the birthstone for March🩵And they have all the sea-side spring vibes!

Half term last week meant we didn't get round to celebrating Chinese New Year. 2026 marks the Year Of The Horse 🐎

Celebrations usually begin on the second new moon after the winter solstice, and last for 16 days. Which means in 2026 they run from 17th February to March 3rd.

Interestingly this year the transition to the year of the horse is also aligned (within the same 48hrs) with the start of Lent and Ramadan. The first time in 163 years

Our Chinese New Year collection of sterling silver jewellery features materials with deep roots in Chinese heritage.

We use authentic Jade, a stone used for over 7,000 years to symbolise luck and protection.

Our range also includes upcycled Blue Willow pottery, repurposed from antique Minton porcelain to showcase traditional Chinese folklore.

Other pieces from the collection include Tibetan turquoise and jewellery and cufflinks made from traditional Mahjong tiles.

The lovely Meg Muir - Artist 🎨 has worked her magic again on these stunning hand painted sea glass pendants.

Meg is such a lovely gentle soul who has been dealt some tough cards over this last year. She finds solace in her painting to create beautiful botanical and nature themed artwork on glass. The level of detail she achieves is incredible.

We have been collaborating with Meg for several years and her pendants are all for sale on our Hepburn & Hughes website.

The current wildflower collection includes these pretty heart themed pendants - combined with poppies, daisies and lupins. Lovely gifts for valentine's day 💝

If you'd like to look at the full collection I've popped the link below

Yesterday marked 50 years since Concorde’s first transatlantic commercial flight, and it would be remiss of us at Hepburn & Hughes not to celebrate it.🥳

On 21 January 1976, Concorde officially entered commercial service, and broke new ground in aviation. Flying at twice the speed of sound, it reduced transatlantic journeys to just over three hours ! ✈️

At Hepburn & Hughes, we are proud to work with authentic Concorde aeroplane material that has been upcycled into jewellery and cufflinks.♻️

Concorde was inaccessible to most people, however our pieces allow the wearer to own a small but meaningful part of aviation history. Perfect gifts for aviation lovers 💝

Below are some new pieces we’ve just added to our website - each piece is unique and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

Feel free to tag an aviation friend or someone who has had the privilege of flying on this iconic aircraft

This is our first post of the year - and it's been so lovely to have a complete guilt free break from social media and packing orders after the craziness of November and December. 😵‍💫

January for us is all about unwinding and catching up with friends and life after both have been neglected for a couple of months.

Hepburn & Hughes definitely finished 2025 on a high, but 2026 is looking very challenging for the online jewellery world. Silver prices and Trump tariffs to name just a couple of things that are making us extremely twitchy.

So 2026 won't be about world domination for us, it'll be refocusing on our strengths and maintaining profit in a very tough economic climate.

How is 2026 looking for you?

As ever the month has ran away with us so I haven't got around to talking about the November birthstone 💙

💎 Blue Topaz is one of the birthstones for November, symbolizing wisdom and serenity.
💎 A traditional gift for a 4th wedding anniversary, Blue Topaz is historically associated with strengthening relationships and bringing emotional balance.
💎 Major sources include Brazil, Sri Lanka, Nigeria, and the U.S.
💎 Most blue topaz starts out colourless or pale and gains its vivid blue through safe, modern gemstone treatments.
💎 Stone of Clarity — Believed to boost communication, creativity, and clear thinking.

So if you know someone born in November or have a wedding anniversary to celebrate this may just be the perfect gift 🎁

And as an added bonus our Black Friday sale is live with 10% off everything with code BLACKFRIDAY10!! (link below)
