“Boldness has genius, power and magic in it” Goethe
With this statement in mind Kirt Holmes has made her boldest move to date, after 10 successful years with her eponymous jewellery line, she has launched a new label under the name a kind of fine, and to celebrate the launch has ‘popped up’ on Camden Passage.
a kind of fine grew out of Kirt’s desire to do things differently, to follow her instincts and heart, it is a thoughtful collection full of symbolism and meaning giving it a depth that makes pieces feel like amulets, heirlooms, something with a history. The collection leans towards fine jewellery while still containing elements of Kirt’s trademark style. Natural, precious, chic is the mood, from gold and silver to feathers, coral and diamonds. It's a love story, a story of slowing down, taking your time, thinking, breathing, appreciating the simple things in life, making the little improvements to your environment which in the end are not little.
For a limited time only, the collection will be available to buy in Kirt’s pop up shop in Islington, in an atmosphere of calm and serenity, alongside carefully selected objects and items - books on love and philosophy, a beautifully scented candle, rocks, gems and geological specimens as well as gorgeous ceramics, hand picked by her to complement the jewellery. Prices start from £115 for a gold ring and each piece of jewellery comes with its own bowl to be kept in, making it a decorative object even when not worn.
The shop will run until January 2012
