Jessica Flinn launches new Christmas Chocolate collection

Sheffield-based fine jewellery brand Jessica Flinn has launched its new Christmas Chocolate collection inspired by Yorkshire chocolate company Quality Street.

Katie Hurst, a Jessica Flinn team member, once lived on a street in Sheffield where residents annually decorate their houses to resemble Quality Street chocolates for charity during Christmas.

Quality Street shipped one ton of chocolates to the street’s residents, who could exchange them for food bank donations.

Drawing inspiration from the tradition, the team at Jessica Flinn Fine Jewellery created chocolate inspired ring designs through mock-ups and CAD models featuring “bright” colours and “unique” designs.

Additionally, Hurst, who joined the Jessica Flinn team in June 2023, regularly volunteers with the S6 foodbank and has arranged for the wider team to contribute to the much needed cause.

The team and wider community took the opportunity to leave anonymous donations in donation boxes provided in the Jessica Flinn offices, and six employees have volunteered at the S6 Foodbank.

More volunteering sessions will be arranged throughout 2024 to continue to support the community.

Hurst, e-commerce luxury sales consultant at Jessica Flinn, said: “The camaraderie and charity work while decorating our homes like Quality Streets left a lasting impression. Since my relocation, I’ve been seeking ways to bring the same fun, festive feeling in a new way. Working with the Jessica Flinn team, we put our heads together and came up with a fun idea – a Christmas jewellery collection with delectable chocolate inspirations.”

Jessica Flinn-Allen added: “Embracing our roots as a Sheffield-based business, we recognise the importance of standing alongside our local community, especially during times of need.”
