"How could I be the only British blogger on Glamour&amp;#x27;s Young and Posh network and NOT fly the flag and do at least ONE Royal Wedding-related post? Well, actually, on a personal level, I am mostly disinterested. All I&amp;#x27;m after are the cakes and jelly that will be in abundance at the street parties and along with everyone else, I just wanted to see the dress to cheer it on (I was pulling for Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen all along!).The number of Royal Wedding-related gimmicks that shops and brands have been piling on us has been phenomenal to the point of irritating, namely because most of it is rubbish. When you find genuine gems, though, they&amp;#x27;re definitely worth shouting about. Jewellery designer Jessica de Lotz has launched a Royal Wedding Collection exclusively at posh stationer&amp;#x27;s Smythson on Bond Street. Jessica, together with her brother Benjamen, launched a bespoke crest service and have designed a commemorative Kate and Will dual crest, as well as a regal crown seal. The dual crest comprises of a hockey and polo stick (indicative of William&amp;#x27;s love of the sports) surrounded by a wreath, as well as a dragon&amp;#x27;s tail, representative of the couple&amp;#x27;s new marital home. &amp;quot;A modern approach to Royal heraldry translated into wearable tribute jewellery for the Royal Wedding&amp;quot; is how Jessica describes this range of necklaces, rings and bracelets all presented in an evocative way. You can order the pieces directly from Jessica through her website or through Smythson. Each Wedding Collection piece is limited and have been stamped with a tiny number on the back. The creme de la creme piece has to be this bridal collar, which features some 1930s lace trimming from Jessica&amp;#x27;s own vintage wedding dress, as well as that trademark Smythson signature blue featherweight paper. This combination of unusual materials and the sense of history that Jessica instills into her pieces are what makes them so special and not at all like the other bits of commemorative tat that is flooding London&amp;#x27;s tourist trap shops at the moment.
