Cotton & Gems To Launch With Ridgeway Studios
Witney web design agency, Ridgeway Studios, has been selected to provide a complete brand design, business stationery and Kentico web site solution for Cotton & Gems, a new luxury jewellery supplier.
Cotton & Gems will supply high quality and bespoke jewellery to fashion-conscious individuals and will provide a very personal recommendation, design and purchasing service led by Clare Cotton, a well respected jewellery retail professional with over 20 years of industry experience. Selling both online and direct to the customer, the business has already secured contracts to supply some of the most sought after jewellery available including products by Julie Sandlau, Babette Wasserman and Lucas Jack.
To give her start up business with the best possible start, Clare has commissioned Ridgeway Studios to provide her with a logo, brand collateral, business stationery and a web site. Ridgeway Studios has designed a bespoke project which will develop the Cotton & Gems brand from scratch, provide business cards and an e-commerce web site which will enable Clare to sell over 250 products direct to her customers. By proposing a web site built using the Kentico content management platform, Ridgeway Studios will give Clare the ability to add, edit and remove products from the web site herself via Kentico’s easy-to-use administration tools.
Work on the Cotton & Gems brand is underway and the business will be launched to the public in early May 2011.

“Ridgeway Studios have proposed a fantastic and affordable approach to launching the Cotton & Gems brand and web site,” said Clare. “They engaged with the business concept straight away and I have every confidence that they will deliver a logo and brand which matches my aspirations for the business and a web site which will help me sell jewellery to a discerning audience.”
Simon Lassam, Managing Director at Ridgeway Studios said: “For Clare to have chosen Ridgeway for this project is really pleasing. We pride ourselves on being able to deliver first-class solutions to businesses of all sizes – from home-based start ups to multi-nationals – and the project for Cotton & Gems gives us a fantastic opportunity to demonstrate our capabilities. The jewellery Clare will be supplying, combined with her experience and the personal approach she takes to meeting the needs of her clients are a recipe for success in themselves, what Ridgeway will do is give Cotton & Gems the brand styling and web site the business needs to capitalise on the business concept. By delivering the web site using the Kentico content management solution, Clare will not only be able to sell her products direct to her customers, but also add and change her product range in response to seasonal demand without any input from Ridgeway Studios – a truly low-cost and sustainable web site solution for a young business.”
