About 5 years ago I had the idea for a range of jewellery to encourage people to take a risk and not to be afraid to stand out of the flock. After all, Fresh Fleeces wouldn't exist if I hadn't listened to that advice! But I just couldn't get the design right, until I had the idea to involve our 'Wee Sheep'. For those of you who don't know, I'm from Northern Ireland and little things around here are called wee...hence the wee sheep name. So we've just launched a small collection of 3 silver necklaces, each with a little sheep that is standing out of the flock in it's own way...in gold, rose gold or oxidised silver. I imagine a mum giving this piece to her daughter as she takes her first steps into university. As she navigates new horizons, this necklace becomes a tangible reminder of her unwavering support. The little stand out sheep represents her courage to venture into the unknown, reminding her that her uniqueness is her strength. Maybe it's because my children are growing up fast and I know this parting is on the horizon. This is the message I would like to give to them and others venturing into the world. (Gosh, I'm turning awfully sentimental recently!) Meet them in our What's New section: https://www.freshfleeces.com/collections/whats-new
