LOCAL PRODUCTS 57 MARY ANDERSON-FORD, THE SILVER SPRITE www.thesilversprite.co.uk Tell us about your company... Here at The Silver Sprite, we have a beautiful range of bridal jewellery. Whether you’re looking for a co-ordinating pearl suite of necklace, earrings and bracelet, or something a little twinkly to catch the light. Our range of semi-precious stone jewellery comes in a myriad of colours, making the perfect partnership to the colour of your bridesmaid dresses. We have a selection of crystals, which when presented in our velvet pouches, make for super favours and a super range of gifts for family members, such as crystal coaster, wine bottle stoppers, and crystal ‘ice cubes’. What’s your most popular product? The Reconnect necklace, which is two beautiful eternal circles crafted in sustainable recycled sterling silver and sparkly cubic zirconias. The sentiment of the interconnecting loops is perfect for a wedding and the piece would look wonderful worn by the entire bridal party. Why do you love what you do? I’ve been a little magpie since I was a girl and obsessed with crystals and anything that glistened from a young age. Starting The Silver Sprite in lockdown really helped me pursue a life-long dream of having my own jewellery and crystal business, and I just adore selecting or designing new pieces, setting a price that’s affordable for all to enjoy and hearing people tell me how much they love it. Why should couples choose local suppliers for their wedding? It’s always a lovely idea to work with a local company when selecting suppliers, as it keeps the whole wedding so personal to you. Who wants a wedding full of same-same? What’s your signature style? The Silver Sprite’s signature style is pretty, stylish and with a nod to the organic. We’re big fans of taking inspiration from the world around us, so many styles feature organics such as flowers, butterflies and leaves.
