July 2010 - Golden Acorn necklace for prize winning author
Edward Lloyd, the master goldsmith behind the Shropshire Lad Jewellery collection, was commissioned to design and make a golden acorn necklace from yellow and rose gold as a present for a prize winning local author.
Shropshire author Catherine Cooper has recently won Brit Writers' Unpublished Writer of the Year 2010 and her book, The Golden Acorn, is the Winner of the Best Children's Story 2010. Catherine was so pleased with the acorn pendant, which she describes as stunning and beautiful, that she wrote Edward into her second book as ‘Lloyd the Goldsmith’.
The golden acorn motif is now being developed into a set of pieces to add to the extremely popular Shropshire Lad Jewellery range and will be available to buy from this website in the near future.

The poetic jewellery of Shropshire Lad is introduced at
National Trust property Berrington Hall, which is situated between Ludlow and
Leominster. Berrington Hall shop Manager Carol, in her search for locally
produced products,feels this exciting and unique range of jewellery - so closely
connected with A.E.Housman's "Shropshire Lad" and created by Edward Lloyd in
Ludlow - is an excellent example of one of the many wonderful products produced
in Shropshire.
The Cherry Blossom range is the first in a series of
ranges echoing the poetry of Shropshire and its launch coincides with the
blossoming Shropshire spring.
