Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Pollen & Plume jewellery special?
Pollen & Plume truly captures a modern romantic feeling, mixing fine art ideas with genuine elegance. You'll find handcrafted bridal pieces such as delicate earrings, unique ear cuffs, and dreamy flower crowns. We believe in slow, careful craftsmanship, not just chasing trends. That means creating beautiful, meaningful pieces that become treasured keepsakes from your love story.
Where do Pollen & Plume's beautiful accessories come from?
Our pieces start their stories in two special spots. Alison Moncrief, our founder, carefully handcrafts the main Pollen & Plume collection right here in country Victoria, Australia. Then there's our 'Atelier Pollen & Plume' line; these luxury items, glowing with gems like moonstone, are shaped by talented artisans in a small, family workshop over in Jaipur, India.
What kind of materials go into Pollen & Plume designs?
In our main collection, expect an imaginative mix – maybe hand-shaped silk petals, bright Swarovski crystals, or soft pearls. Our 'Atelier Pollen & Plume' range steps into luxury using consciously sourced gems. Picture ethereal Moonstones and classic Freshwater Pearls, often set in warm 14k Gold Vermeil. We pick materials for their beauty and the story they help tell.
Can Pollen & Plume create a one-of-a-kind piece just for me?
Definitely! Bringing your personal vision to reality is something we cherish doing through our bespoke service. You'll work directly with Alison Moncrief, our founder, to design custom bridal jewellery that feels completely you. It's a warm, collaborative process – from the first chat to the final piece – ensuring your jewellery is as unique as your story.
Tell me about the enchanting 'Atelier Pollen & Plume' collection.
Think of 'Atelier Pollen & Plume' as our special line of fine art bridal jewellery, all about celebrating feminine grace and love. Kicked off with the 'Flora' collection, it stars carefully chosen Moonstones and Pearls set in glowing 14k Gold Vermeil. Talented artisans in Jaipur, India, handcraft these pieces. We see them as future heirlooms, made to be loved long after the wedding day.
Who’s the creative mind behind Pollen & Plume?
That would be Alison Moncrief, our British-born founder who now calls Australia home. She brings her fashion background and inspiration gathered from quiet Victorian landscapes to vibrant Indian artistry into her designs. Her personal touch and genuine story really shape the heart of Pollen & Plume, making it feel authentic.
How would you describe the Pollen & Plume look and feel?
It's a style that captures modern romance but feels like fine art – elegant, unique, maybe even a little bit 'wildflower'. Nature's beauty often inspires us, leading to delicate details and designs celebrating feminine energy. We aim for pieces that feel fresh yet timeless, letting your own personality really bloom.
