This month, we’re marvelling over glittering stones and
to-die-for embellishment
Crowning glory
Sparkle crowns
Tiaras have made a splash on the
international runways – and we’re smitten. If you’re a bride, or you’re
attending a glamorous gala, why not top off your ‘do with some sparkle, like
this princess-worthy version by Tolkowsky.
Divine inspiration
Sparkle neckpiece
This delicately detailed show stopper is
the brainchild of Dior’s talented fine jewellery designer, Victoire de Castellance.
The intricately honed leaves and dewy petals balance dark beauty with standout
sparkle. Surely it’s the season’s most lust-worthy statement neckpiece.
Go over-the-top
Glamour jewellry
Accessorise and shine this season by
layering stones of the same colour or shape to outstanding effect, like these
ones from Kailis. It’s a sure-fire way to achieve instant glamour and will add
interest to any outfit – so start stacking.
Rare blooms
Rare blooms
As one of Tiffany &Co’s most celebrated
designers, Jean Schlumberger has crafted jewels to drool over since joining the
company’s ranks in 1956. His designs are an alluring combination of innovation
and style, finding homes in the finest museums and personal collections around
the world. A girl can dream.

Precious plumage fashioned from
diamonds and sapphires
Feathered friends have played a starring
role throughout the opulent history of Cartier. Peacocks and birds of paradise
have often provided inspiration for the house’s master-craftsmen, but it’s this
fabulous pink flamingo brooch that has caught our eye. Its precious plumage is
fashioned from diamonds and sapphires with a mother-of-pearl beak. Who’s a
pretty bird?
