It seems that the reign of the chunky, statement necklace may be over - for the time being anyway! This season it is all about fine and dainty - adorn yourself with threads of silver, pretty charms and sparkling gemstones."You don't need weight and size to make a statement!" according to those in the know.Take a look at Leoni & Vonk's new collection of sparkling silver chains with dainty charms and pendants.



These gorgeous necklaces will soon be available on our online store. In the meantime become a fan on Facebook to keep informed of when or email us on leoni@vonk.com.au.

Georgi Kay

We always have music blaring our loudly whilst we work away in our little studio - anything from a bit of 80's Wham and 90's and later Ministry of Sound Dance Anthems to a touch of Duffy and Paloma Faith. We do like to mix it up and have recently discovered this great young singer - songwriter from Perth, Georgi Kay and cannot stop playing her catchy, soulful indie tunes.



 Whilst still in her teens, Georgi has already collaborated with some of Australia’s top musicians and studios and is fast becoming a popular and accomplished performer both locally and interstate.
Described as infectious Indie pop Georgi has already won a number of high profile national awards (including the prestigious WAM song of the year for 2010) and is fast gaining a following internationally. One of our  favourites is Free, a collaboration with Perth band Stoopfresh. It seems we are in good company as the song is currently being used by Foxtel for one of their tv ads. 


Go to  http://www.georgikay.com/jukebox.html to listen for yourself!


We are very excited as Georgi is coming to Melbourne soon - see her at the Bendigo Hotel in Collingwood on April 27, May 1, 4. See www.georgikay.com for more details.

Homebody in Queenscliff

The beautiful store Homebody in Queenscliff is a recent addition to our stockist list and is definitely one of our favourite shops. Sisters Frances O'Shea and Loretta Barker took over Homebody in August of last year and together with their friend Catherine Rush have relaunched the store as a destination emporium for all things desirable for body and home.


Face and body products from L'Occitane and the hair-care range from MOP organics are complemented by Mela Purdie clothing, Helen Kaminski hats, Bronte Bay Paris bags and Alan Myerson leathergoods.Candles and diffusers from Glasshouse, Sydney blend beautifully with Homebody's own range of soaps, of which there are seven divine frangrances to choose from.

The store has also recently imported Catherine Memmi Paris candles and fragrance making Homebody an exclusive stockist of the brand.
"Every product has a story and philosophy to match our vision and it is this that makes Leoni & Vonk's jewellery such a perfect addition to the store" explains Catherine. "As Queenscliff is a tourist town, customers love the link between what they buy and their holiday. A shell found on nearby Point Lonsdale beach has been cast in silver by Leoni & Vonk and forms a deleicate story on leather or silver chain. Nostalgic coast-inspired art-deco prints have been made into lockets and are purchased as gifts to love now and be heirlooms of the future" she adds.
Homebody's philosophy is to sell the highest quality pieces that tell a story and offer the customer individuality and style - it is a store to be savoured and enjoyed and is well worth a visit any time of year.


Homebody is at 78 Hesse Street, Queenscliff, Victoria and is open 7 days a week.

Last minute lovelies from Yorkshire

It has been a gloriously sunny long weekend here in Melbourne and we have been enjoying a short but well earnt rest at the beach - hence my tardiness at posting these stunners of the North Yorkshire Moors from Tina. They are quite beautiful and with all the horrific havoc that mother nature has thrown at the world in recent weeks it is refreshing to marvel at her beauty as well. Thanks Tina - they are well timed entries!









Thank you to everyone who has sent us such beautiful images of where you live - we have been overwhelmed with the response and will be announcing the winner tomorrow.
