Partridge Jewellery Tree from The Handpicked Collection

Posted by dulwichmum on Sat 8 May 2010

Name of product: Partridge Jewellery Tree from The Handpicked Collection

Price: £19.95 plus £4.95 P&P

The blurb: “Pretty jewellery stands are almost impossible to find, so we were thrilled when we heard about this one. It features cute birds perching on swiveling branches to keep your baubles safe and easy to access. The base is curved to act as a useful tray for rings and other precious items.”

First impressions: This is a genuinely stylish jewelery stand (I know, I was shocked by this too), and will blend in with any interior, contemporary or traditional. It is very nice quality and not at all twee!

Ease of Use: The Handpicked Collection’s intention is to give people a trusted source of unusual and inspiring gift ideas. “There’s nothing more satisfying than seeing a present well received and it’s our mission to make that simple.” This website certainly delivers on its mission as it is choc full of inspiration!

However, it seems to be impossible to order from the site without first registering, and I have an aversion to registering on E-Commerce sites as I dispise spam

The delivery charges are not entirely clear. The site states that standard delivery takes 2 days and that there is an option for express delivery, but it takes further investigation elsewhere on the site to discover that there is an additional charge of £4.95 for standard delivery. This seems rather expensive considering the fact that so many gifts on the site cost under £15

There is a no quibble guarantee for returns within 28 days

Pros: This jewellery stand makes everything so easy to find! If you don’t have one already, you simply must buy one! This website is certainly a great place to source unusual gifts

Cons: The stand is not very tall, and as most of my necklaces are long, they dangle onto my dressing table and can easily become tangled. I wish it was about 6 inches taller. Having said that, this is by far the nicest jewellery stand I have ever found

Value for money: Bargaintastic!

Dulwichmum verdict:
