People the world over have heard of Cambridge, a city with one of the two most famous universities in the country, but its origins go way back a long way.  In the Roman era the invading Romans built a camp by the River Cam (known to the Romans as Granta) and so the city began.  It later became a Saxon market town, later it was a base for the Danish army in the 9th century and then was a stronghold of the Normans in the 11th century.  It was not until the 13th century that the first college of the university (Peterhouse) was founded by the then Bishop of Ely and over the centuries which followed more and more colleges were added to the University City.  The colleges as well as chapels and churches which belong to the university cover a large proportion of central Cambridge. Many will have heard of, or seen, the mathematical bridge at Queens college.  Apparently the Victorians wanted to know how it had been put together with no metal fastenings in 1749.  However, once they had taken it down they could not put it together again without the use of bolts. The wonderful architecture of many of the colleges attracts visitors from all over the world who come to marvel at the intricate nature of the buildings, notably the chapel of Kings College with its wonderful fan vaulting and beautiful stained glass windows. Many famous people have studied at the university in Cambridge over the centuries, including Samuel Pepys, who left his library, reputed to have been 3000 books, to his old college, Magdalene. Cambridge is home to the famous Fitzwilliam museum founded in the early 19th century.  On show there are artefacts dating back to ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome as well as paintings by old Masters as well as ceramics and manuscripts. A good way to see admire the colleges is to take a punt along the river and so enjoy both the experience of this leisurely form of travel and take in the beauties of Cambridge’s architecture. In recent years, a huge science park has established itself on the outskirts of the city and this today is centre of much development in the field of biotechnology as well as electronics. Cambridge has a twice-weekly market in the city centre and has various shopping centres on the outskirts servicing most needs.  However, if you are looking for good quality wedding jewellery, we at The Little Things In Life may be able to help you with our wonderful range of items for the bride, bridesmaids and even guests.

Sterling Silver Snake Chains

These chains come in various lengths with a lobster style clasp for a secure fastening.

Snake chains are probably one of the most popular chains on which to hang pendants as they give a classic stylish look to your jewellery.

Wedding Jewellery and Fashion Ideas

There’s always a great deal to think about in the run-up to a wedding, with everything from the flowers to the place-settings requiring almost military organisation! Yet although there is clearly much to be done, and so many details to be taken care of, everyone knows that the biggest concern of the day is naturally the bride’s wedding dress. That being said, the perfect wedding dress is made that little bit more special with complementing wedding jewellery, ensuring that you really do look like a princess on the big day. Wedding jewellery is generally fashioned out of crystals, pearls, diamante or a combination of the three, and is available in a vast array of styles and designs. As most brides wear dresses that involve either small or no straps, they choose to wear a bridal necklace, adding a little sparkle to their otherwise bare neck. The majority of bridal necklaces are white, ivory or cream in colour, and rather than consisting of a chain with a pendant are instead made up of delicate beaded designs. It is typical for bridal necklaces to be relatively short in length, and are often bought as part of a set that includes matching earrings and a bracelet. As well as the wedding-specific versions of typical jewellery, the majority of brides also choose to wear jewelled accessories in their hair. Bridal tiaras and headpieces are particularly popular as they look beautiful when placed in hair that is pinned up, and can also be incorporated into an attractive attachment for a bride’s veil. These are also particularly good for brides with short hair, as they do not need long hair to be attached to, as some other accessories do. For brides who wear their hair either completely down or only partly tied up, hair pins and combs are very popular. Hair combs are the same as normal combs but have ornate embellishments running across the top of them, which often match other bridal jewellery. They are used to both add a subtle strip of decoration whilst also holding back the hair. Even more subtle are hair pins, which are often placed within the hair once it has been fixed in an ‘up do’. They are usually topped with either crystals, pearls or diamante to match the rest of the bridal jewellery, though small flower hair pins are also very pretty. When choosing wedding jewellery there are two important factors which should be considered: your dress and your hair. If you are wearing a dress that is simple and elegant with little in the way of embroidery or embellishment, for example, you might want to think about wearing a necklace that incorporates a detailed design. Additionally it is important to ensure that you select bridal hair accessories that complement both your dress, the rest of your jewellery, and the way in which you are wearing your hair on the big day. Most importantly, however, is just to make sure you love the jewellery you have chosen and that you enjoy wearing it, as you’re likely to be seeing yourself in a lot of photographs with them.

The Yorkshire city of Leeds has been a wool centre since the Middle Ages, with its many sheep grazing on the lovely pastures in the beautiful county of Yorkshire, but it was in the industrial revolution in the 19th century when the town really expanded. Machines were used to manufacture clothing in bulk and by the 1920s Leeds contained the largest clothing factory in the world. The downside of this increase in work in the city was that many of the workers lived in dreadful conditions and it was only in the first half of the 20th century that many of the slums were pulled down and after the Second World War much of Leeds has been redeveloped. Leeds boasts several shopping arcades dating from the late 19th century and a couple of them are very grand, such as the County Arcade. At the end of Thornton’s Arcade is a clock which moving figures taken from the novel ‘Ivanhoe’ by Sir Walter Scott, such as Robin Hood and Friar Tuck. The designer of the mechanism for this interesting clock was the same who designed that for Big Ben: Sir Edmund Beckett. Leeds has many fine buildings, including the Corn Exchange with its huge glass roof and the Mechanics Institute. The latter was built as a training establishment for mechanics, as the name would suggest, but it now houses a theatre. There are two main waterways in Leeds: the Leeds & Liverpool Canal and the Aire & Calder Navigation. The former crosses the Pennines and connects with the Navigation at Leeds and then heads towards Goole, a port over 30 miles away. Leeds is famous as a centre for cricket and the Leeds team plays at Headingley which is also the home of Yorkshire cricket. Leeds also has a football team which plays at Elland Road. Leeds offers many forms of entertainment to the locals, including a good selection of cinemas, libraries, museums and much more.

Manchester’s prosperity really began in the 18th century with the making of textiles and the advent of the Industrial Revolution, although it was during the reign of Edward III in the 14th century that Flemish weavers came to Manchester and set in motion the important textile trade.  It was turned into a port with the opening of the Manchester Ship Canal in the late 19th century.  This eased trade to and from the city. As well as the Manchester Ship Canal Manchester had another important means of transport in the 1800s.  The Manchester to Liverpool railway was the first line in the world to be a commercial success.  It was George Stephenson, who designed the famous ‘Rocket’ who built it. Some of the centre of Manchester was destroyed in the second world war bombing raids, but much of the Victorian city does remain.  There are even a few traces of medieval Manchester.  The cathedral building dates from the 1400s but was added too several centuries later.  It became a cathedral in the mid nineteenth century. The bloodiest part of Manchester’s history was in 1819 with the Peterloo massacre.  The residents had no representative in Parliament and poor working conditions, high unemployment and abject poverty led the locals to rebellion.  Up to fifty thousand people gathered in St Peter’s Field to ask for reform.  The demonstration was crushed by troops on horseback carrying sabres.  Apart from hundreds of injuries, eleven people died that day. Manchester is the home of the Hallé orchestra which was founded by Sir Charles Hallé in the mid 19th century and its home was the Free Trade Hall, which had originally been used by the Anti Corn Law League in the early 19th century until the Corn Laws were repealed.  This building in Peter Street was later used by the Athenaeum Society the first chairman of which was Charles Dickens. The Royal Exchange, now used as a theatre, has a floor area of around one acre and is surmounted by three glass domes on marble columns – a truly impressive sight. Manchester has a wealth of museums and galleries, exhibiting paintings, ceramics, costumes and items detailing the history of the textile industry. Manchester is famous world-wide, of course, for its football teams, so people from as far afield as Japan and China have heard of Manchester!  It is also the place for one of England’s popular universities which started life as Owens College in the early 19th century and became a university in 1903.  Manchester’s university library, which was opened in 1900, is the home to many ancient manuscripts: books printed by William Caxton as well as manuscripts dating back to 3000BC.  The city’s public library is one of the largest libraries in the country.

The university was founded by King Henry II in the 12th century, although it later closed following disagreements with the locals less than 50 years later. However, it reopened several years later, but the university system as it is known today did not get introduced until several hundred years later. Oxford has a wealth of historically beautiful buildings which contrast with the modern bustling city that Oxford is.

Think of all the famous ships which have sailed from this important port: the ill fated Titanic which was sunk by an iceberg four days after leaving Southampton on her maiden voyage to America in 1912, The Mayflower which sailed to North America with the Pilgrim Fathers in 1620. It is one of the UK’s most important ports and there has been a port here from early Roman times. William the Conqueror, invading Britain in 1066, landed his ships here from France and it was from here that many of the crusades set forth in medieval times.Also in medieval times a large amount of wool was exported from Southampton and the Wool House built in the 1300s still stands today, but now serves as the city’s maritime museum. Here the visitor can see, carved on the chestnut roof, names of French prisoners of war who were kept imprisoned here during the 18th century.The Normans built the original city walls, but very little remains of them today. However, the towers are still in evidence: Polymond, Catchcold, Wind Whistle and God’s House Tower.Southampton became a spa town in the 1800s and remained so until Brighton took over as the favoured spa town after half a century because of the Prince Regent’s love of Brighton.During the First World War millions of troops left England for the front line and the city was heavily bombed during the Second World War. Some of the city’s old buildings survive, including several inns, which once would have been coaching inns. There is the 15th century Dolphin rebuilt in the 18th century, the Star which is a Georgian building and the Red Lion, the oldest inn in the city, dates back to the 1100s.Southampton is a city, a status granted to it in 1964, but it has no cathedral. It’s main church, St Mary’s was heavily bombed during the last war, but Southampton boasts a much older church in St Michael’s which has a Saxon tower and a 12th century font which came from France.
