The founder of high end Jewellery brand Jada, Ceyda Gungor, has designed two beautiful Jada Jewellery pieces specifically for the Winnicott Foundation.
This exclusive charity jewellery signifies the love and protection that the Winnicott Foundation embraces. The charity jewellery range consists of two heart bracelets which are set in 14K white gold; one with a signature Jada evil eye and one with diamonds and evil eye.
The Winnicott Foundation is an independent registered charity founded 25 years ago by doctors and parents who wanted to contribute more to the care of premature and sick babies.
Ceyda Gungor is one of the many women who have been impacted by neonatal complications making the Winnicott Foundation something that is very close to her heart.
Jada will be donating fifteen per cent of each sale of this charity jewellery.
Pippa Jones of the Winnicott Foundation says;
“The sale of one white gold heart bracelet could buy specialist clothing for four premature babies or information books and leaflets for parents. Just one diamond bracelet could buy five handheld breast pumps or three gel pillows to reduce pressure on fragile heads.”
There has never been a better opportunity to give back to the community and with one of these beautiful Jada charity jewellery bracelets you can lovingly invest in the well-being of future generations to come.

Luxury Mayfair restaurant Le Caprice have recently celebrated their 30th Anniversary and to mark the occasion they have partnered with leading music personalities to create an exclusive collector’s edition music book.
The centrepiece of Le Caprice (apart from the food!) is the piano, the collection of sheet music features classic songs for the piano. The music book is a little bit special.
Only 200 copies have been printed and will sold at Le Caprice for £200 each. Proceeds will go to War Child, a charity long associated with the music industry.
Le Caprice has partnered with leading music personalities to create this exclusive collector’s edition music book. Along with an introduction from Jools Holland, artists including Sir Paul McCartney, Gary Barlow, Coldplay and Skin have each chosen a favourite classic song that has been scored for the piano to add to the music book.
“In my life I have been very fortunate as music has fascinated and brought me more joy than almost anything. I hope this book may do the same for you… play what you love, love what you play and love the people you’re playing it to.” – Jools Holland.
To celebrate the success of the restaurant over the last three decades, Le Caprice has undergone a design refresh. The update honours the restaurant’s signature style with a black marble floor, new windows and pristine, re-imagined bar.
The timeless monochrome interior has been maintained, along with such elements as the timeless David Bailey photographs adorning the walls. Additionally, a terrace has been added for guests to enjoy alfresco dining in the bustling centre of St James’s.
Jesus Adorno, Director of Le Caprice, comments: “I’ve been at Le Caprice for 30 years, starting out as a waiter. The restaurant seems to evoke passion amongst both its staff and customers. I’ve witnessed first dates to marriage proposals to golden wedding anniversaries. The first 30 years have been remarkable – here’s to the next 30!”
The first UK gold Kilo coin was unveiled today by the Royal Mint. This is one kilo of fine gold and only 60 will ever be produced. With a price tag of £100,000, this is one of the most exclusive (and expensive!) pieces of London Olympics 2012 memorabilia.
It will also be one of the most valuable and sought after. The gold kilo coin was designed by influential sculptor, Sir Anthony Caro RA.
In addition to the first UK gold Kilo, a silver Kilo has also been designed by fellow Royal Academician and internationally renowned artist, composer and writer Tom Phillips RA. Priced at £3,000, 2012 silver Kilos will be minted.
Both Kilo coins are presented in beautifully crafted, specially designed presentation boxes accompanied by individually numbered Certificates of Authenticity. Sir Anthony Caro has personally signed and numbered the certificates for each gold Kilo coin.
During the manufacturing process, a special press and production technique were used to achieve the highest ever relief on a coin struck by the Royal Mint.
Sir Anthony Caro’s first UK gold kilo coin design incorporates the theme of the 2012 London Olympics, and depicts the sports equipment used for Weightlifting, Boxing, Football and Athletics framed by a laurel wreath and the official London 2012 logo.
It is unlikely that these coins will ever be circulated due to their size and weight, not to mention value, so Sir Anthony created more of a sculptural medal than a coin.
