Each month we’ll introduce our colour of the month. It will be based on our new
pieces and our very own research of what’s on trend. Whether matching or con-
trasting and maybe even clashing we’ll present you with ways to wear your isiko
jewellery.
It’s a bold statement from isiko but we believe we have what it takes to start
setting the trends rather than following what’s out there already. If you know any-
thing about isiko you’ll know how important it is for us to remain individual and
true to ourselves. Why not start here and now? Accessorise with something ruby.
Award winning Paula
McQuilkin tells her story.
CEO and Founder of isiko
Glass Jewellery, adding a
little glamour to business.
Whoop whoop! I’m 3
months in following the
November launch of my
glass jewellery business,
isiko.
Most of you won’t remem-
ber this but whilst I was at
College there was a pro-
gramme on our screens
called The Clothes Show
and I actually did my place-
ment with this pro-
gramme. Travelled to and
lived in London for a
month, dressed at fashion
shows, went on location
up and down the country
worked in an office with the
show’s producers and if I’m
honest this period of time
holds some of my fondest
memories.
I knew ultimately I would
work in Fashion even then,
what I didn’t know was that
I’d end up the founder and
CEO of my very own limited
company in glass statement
jewellery.
Recently isiko crossed
paths with Gill Laidler of
Topic UK. Topic UK is
Wakefield's first magazine
dedicated to business in
the district and summer
2016 will see the launch of
Topic UK Leeds.
This crossing of paths
means isiko will feature in
the April edition and very
pleased we are too! Many
isiko clients have been
asking for our story So
what a perfect opportunity
to tell you about us.
There is obviously so much
to say, if I’m honest I didn’t
really know where to start.
I’m going to include an
extract here but find Topic
UK for the full story.

based on you. In the next edition you’ll have our top tips on how to wear your isiko
pendants. But for now let me tell you how this works.
Email, tweet, message or call isiko to ask us a question. Better still tell us who you

PAULA’S WORDS
April and May have seen a lot of firsts for isiko. Last month saw our first blog and
now our first isiko newsletter. We have so much to shout about our newsletter will
have all our latest news. I started my working career in Fashion probably more cloth-
ing- A wonderful manager at the time and now friend gave me an opportunity to
teach and I took it. A lot has happened since then including an array of jobs...
A day trip to Wales and a visit to an art gallery, would be the first steps I would take
towards the dream of owning my own business.
My inspiration to work with glass came from a beautifully framed, glass picture of a
house on a hill, with grass and fields and somewhere in the distance a setting sun,
nothing like anything I had ever seen before. I simply couldn’t afford it... and that was
it, that was my moment of clarity, I knew at that point that I would learn how to do
that myself and that I would have a glass picture hanging on my wall made by my own
fair hand.
A short course 8 months later in 2014, practicing every weekend in a makeshift work-
shop, and lots of disasters whilst I learnt, about the explosive properties of melting
glass and the rest as they say really is history...
