Distributor Unique Jewelry, also to be found in the silver section, will be bringing affordable and on-trend brand Festina watches to IJL for the first time.
Daisy Knights is to attend for the first time as a fully-fledged exhibitor, having launched as a Bright Young Gem in 2009 and KickStarter in 2010, and will unveil her Wise range. She joins leading British designers such as Shaun Leane, William Cheshire and Malcolm Morris.
Jewellery brand and X Factor favourite Kleshna will launch two new collections, including the Art Nouveau inspired Twisted Chain collection, which is a new take on the vintage trend.
