A new UK store has opened in Berkshire, innovatively combining the sale of jewellery and hats.

Hats and Jewels of the Berkshires is run by Karen Karlberg, owner of the Becket Hat Company and Anne O'Neill who sells and makes jewellery at AT Artworks.

The pair combined their efforts to open the new store that will include high-end consignment jewellery and also repair jewellery for customers.

Ms Karlberg told icBerkshires: "It's really exciting…. I'm confident we'll do well."

"I'm definitely a bead-a-holic," said Ms O'Neill who has been making jewellery for 10 years. "I started wearing stuff I made at home, then selling it to my family, then having home parties, then doing custom work. I've sold on the Internet and around the county."

Due to owning such a huge amount of supplies for jewellery making, the store will stock new jewellery items every week.
