Neweys Jewellers is a 42 year old Diamond Jewellery retailer with deep roots in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quater. We have worked with them over the last few months to design and create a brand new eCommerce store to extend their reach online and through social media. Designed around our new Jewellery eCommerce platform it features a fantastic live diamond feed to purchase loose, certified diamonds, a stunning range of Interactive 3D Jewellery Aniamtions and some stunning Jewellery Photoghraphy and imagery created by our in-house team at www.lionsorbet.com

Luxury Jewellery Design and Manufacturing company MaeVona has been a trusted client of ours ever since their launch in 2004. We worked on their original Flash website which boasted not only some beautiful Celtic inspired Jewellery but a stunning range of interactive 3D animations, some of the first on the internet. With the launch of MaeVona’s new Scottish Towns Collection the New York based company wanted a fresh, inspiring website to showcase their entire range of products.

With their desire for cutting edge design we rebuilt the site on our brand new ‘Jewellery eCommerce platform’ and implemented the first Jewellery site on the internet to feature a complete range of HTML 5 interactive 3D content. With over 50% of traffic now coming from mobile browsers there is no compromise to the design, quality and functionality.

The day was aimed at working with young people, inspire their business ambitions and encourage the students to look further than the obvious choices they might believe they face. This was then used;

• To show them that they all have the ability to have ideas and express them
• To introduce them to new ways of thinking about business and opportunities
• through the theme of Social Enterprise and Music

The Theme for the workshop was:  ”Could you run your own business and help others?”  targeting specific social problems such as Teenage Pregnancy, Binge Drinking and Truancy.  The kids were split into groups of 10 and had to come up with a business idea, presentation, marketing strategy and brief financial plan with limited resources and time. My job along with the 10-15 other facilitators was to help organise the group and guide them through the exercise without actually giving them any answers, aside from gentle prompts and the odd key bit of info. They were also treated to some exercises in presentation from OddSocks Theatre company, a solo performance and Interview from Rob Harris and an engaging introduction by Speaker Mike Skidmore.

Highlights of the day

1. Watching young kids unashamedly presenting their business ideas without question or  fear in front of  around 150 people
2. Chatting about guitars with Rob Harris
3. Eating my weight in Pizza which was offered for lunch
4. Having a renewed faith in our next generation of adults.

 
So what did I learn?

1. Young school kids are incredibly creative, fun and talented. Many don’t know this and events like these can really make a difference to the choices they make and the path they choose in their careers.
2. Great, inspiring ideas for Business and Products can come out of a small amount of time if the right tools and direction are given.
3. Rob Harris is a bloody good guitarist
4. My iPhone takes rubbish pictures (see above!!)
5. Mike Skidmore is actually quite funny
6. The OddSocks theatre company are fun and entertaining.

***UPDATE***
The following video created by Wonkana Productions has just been released showcasing the day in more detail.
