Events Post : Sif Jakobs & 202 & Valletta

Recently, on a random day, I spent an hour simply walking around Valletta at night, with no particular destination in mind. I love Valletta so this isn't about some revelation as to how beautiful Malta's Capital City is but for a Sunday evening I was impressed by how lively it was, how many people were out and about, how music was playing in various places..just what fun it was. It truly reminded me of parts of Rome, a city that I adore, Valletta has really lifted itself out of the social black hole it had once become.

It's no wonder that Sif Jakobs fell in love with Malta and Valletta whilst on holiday in Malta last November, so much so that she decided she wanted to work with Malta and even more so when she stumbled upon 202 Jewellers in Valletta, a beautiful shop that's really put an effort into stylish decor and excellent lighting. They got in touch and started dealings only last February but her jewellery is already here at 202 Jewellers Santa Lucia Valletta and last night 202 Jewellers organised a lovely reception which spilled out onto the streets of Valletta, excellent food and all the works. The jewellery is super stylish and very chic, some lovely pieces..so let's get cracking and see some photos.

I really enjoyed meeting Sif herself, born in Iceland and educated as a goldsmith in Sweden she cites her various travels as her inspiration, in particular Italy which she refers to as her second home. The jewellery range has a sense of minimalism and reminds me very much of Nordic design. I particularly love the leather bracelets, they're a popular trend in general but I see so many ugly, cheap-looking ones, these are really stylish and the quality and finishing of the products is top notch.
