Jessica Flinn goes nationwide with House of Fraser

Award winning Sheffield jewellery designer Jessica Flinn is going into one of the country’s most popular department stores.

Working with concessions specialist Hallett Retail, Jessica Flinn Designs will now be available at 15 House of Fraser stores across the UK – including Scotland and Northern Ireland – as well as Brown’s of York and Clerys in Dublin.

All branches - from Princess Street in Edinburgh, to Meadowhall and Lakeside in Essex – will stock an exclusive range of Jessica’s sterling silver designs.

“It’s amazing to have been selected to showcase my work with a company as big as House of Fraser and I am very excited,” said Jessica.

“We are staring with 15 stores but the plan is certainly to extend that through 2015.”

One of the most talked about jewellery designers in Britain today, Jessica Flinn is based at Lion Works in the heart of Sheffield’s historic Kelham Island industrial quarter.

She studied Metalwork and Jewellery at Sheffield Hallam University, graduating in 2010 with the vision of creating her own business based on a simple idea – to offer women high quality design led jewellery that was both unique and full of personality and available at a great price point.

In addition to being named one of the country’s top young entrepreneurs in the prestigious national Duke of York’s Awards for 2013, Jessica was one of the Profession Jeweller Magazine’s Hot 100 for 2012 and also reached the finals of the BJA Jewellery Designer of the Year awards.

Items from the full range of Jessica Flinn Designs are available at the Jessica Flinn Boutique at 268 Sharrow Vale Road, in Sheffield’s fashionable independent shopping quarter, or through the Jessica Flinn Designs website at www.jessicaflinn.co.uk

Jessica’s designs are also available through a range of independent stockists across the country – all listed on the website – with an exclusive range available through High Street chain Argos.
