New arrivals to Palenque this week!

If you're at a loose end why not take a look at our new arrivals?!

First up is our gorgeous Vintage Dragonfly collection. The sterling silver pendant and earrings both feature beautiful dragonfly shapes with stunningly delicate cut out detail. The oxidised finish gives the range a wonderfully vintage look - very Art Nouveau!


For something a bit more simple take a peek at our Celtic Knot range featuring earrings and rings. Made from sterling silver the design features a silver knot at the centre, very Celtic inspired hence the name! This is a classic little collection perfect for everyday wear!


Our Venezia collection features Dichroic glass at the centre of the design. Dichroic glass is glass containing multiple micro-layers of metals or oxides which give the glass dichroic optical properties. The main characteristic of dichroic glass is that it has a particular transmitted color and a completely different reflected color, as certain wavelengths of light either pass through or are reflected. This causes an array of color to be displayed. The colors shift depending on the angle of view. Dichroic glass is an example of thin-film optics.(Thanks to Wikipedia for the explanation!)

You can see from the above image just how vibrant and eye catching our Venezia collection is! The gorgeous mix of blue and green makes such an impact! Every item is unique due to the process it goes through so if you like to stand out from the crowd this is the collection for you!
