Costume jewellery is the ultimate accessory to have for Autumn/Winter - the rule is the bigger the better - pile on as many necklaces as your neck will take! Create an over-the-top effect with metres of chains, or just go for one huge statement piece. And, according to fashion bible Vogue, it doesn’t matter if your ‘diamonds’ cost £20 or £200. This great ring from Dorothy Perkins combines a statement piece with one of Autumn/Winter’s key trend, a gothic inspired look. And the best part? It costs less than a tenner!

The Gothic Frame Ring is great for accessorizing during the day, or will work really well with a black evening dress. The intricate framing detail makes the ring look a lot more expensive than it is, and the all black effect gives a super classy effect.

Get it now at Dorothy Perkins in store or online for £9.

Topshop has a great new range of necklaces, covering all of the key trends from bows to tribal to bright colours. Whatever you like wearing round your neck, I can guarantee there’ll be a necklace for you.

Being a fan of horses, I think this Winged Horse Necklace is my favourite. On a simple chain, the small silver horse charm is set off by the diamante detailing on the wings, and it has an antique, vintage feel about it. On a 15″ chain it’s long enough not to get tangled up in collars and necklines, is adjustable by 3″ and will slip on over the head, so no messing about with fiddly clasps. It’s also available with a gold horse charm which makes the silver wings stand out even more. It also faces the opposite way, so you can choose which way you want the horse to gallop.

Get them at Topshop online now or in store.

Sphere shapes are hot at Accessorize at the moment, I have found a whole range of jewellery items in this style that are sure to be hot this summer. First up (left) is a Filigree Ball 925 Silver Necklace (£16), it would really jazz up a simple outfit and would look great on the beach with a bikini! Then we have a Giant Pave Ball Ring (£10), a stunning ring that will get you noticed.

The we have a Filigree Ball Earrings (£8) that are just big enough to add some sparkle but not too overpowering. Lastly we have a Pearl 925 Silver Pendant (£8), simple but stunning.

If you need to brighten up a simple outfit try adding some chunky decorative bangles to liven things up a bit. I have just been browsing on the Oasis website and found some stunning items that would be great for the summer months. First off I found this Tribal stretch bracelet and its only £8, it would look great accompanied by some smaller wooden bangles and looks more expensive than it actually is.

I also saw this cute Escape chunky mosaic bangle in red for £10 which would definitely add a bit of colour to your outfit. The bracelets can be worn day or night with a casual or more dressy outfit and are perfect to wear with a short sleeved top so you can really show them off!

For more beautiful bangles at Oasis, visit one of their stores or shop online now if you can’t wait!

If you walk around any shopping centre you will see floral designs plastered all over the manikins and dressing room hangers. I can’t quite believe it but is seems flower power has returned. It doesn’t stop at clothing either, many stores have stocked up on flower inspired jewellery too. These three pieces from Topshop will give you a good idea what to expect when you next venture out on a shopping trip.

The first (left) is a Vintage Look Flower Necklace costing £10, superb to accompany a plain black dress or simple outfit. The second is an Embossed Flower Bangle (£8), beautifully designed and perfect to wear as a single piece to show off the unique detail.

Last but not least and my personal favourite is a Stone Set Flower Ring (also £8), perfect to add a bit of bling to your finger! Get into your floral prints this spring, they’re going to be huge.

The stunning Helena Christensen has become the new face of Pilgrim Jewellery. Not only that, she has also played a role designing some of the pieces herself.

Pilgrim Jewellery has become one of the worlds fastest growing international fashion jewellery. They have a unique style that attracts people throughout the world regardless of culture - including A-list celebs!! Their collection is huge and has the ability to provide jewellery to allow people to follow fashion without being a victim and gives the opportunity to enhance individual personality.

Take a look at the vast selection from watches to charms from mens pieces to sunglasses, all of which are made to the highest of quality at www.pilgrim.dk. It would appear you cannot buy on line however they have a store finder application and you can find stockists in most major cities.

The flamboyant duo have once again come together to create yet another fab collection of handcrafted jewellery for popular department store Debenhams.

This new range of glitzy dress up decorations will re-create the feeling you once had when you were younger and rummaged through your mums jewellery box to find a shiny piece and having that overwhelming feeling that you have in fact struck gold!!

EB - as the range is known is a designer diffusion line that has recently hit the stores. The stand out costume jewellery will glam up any rock t-shirt or will add the finishing touch to your favourite party frock. Each piece has the added bonus of looking like it has come straight from a couture cabinet at Tiffany but without the hefty price tag.

The collection is so vast it’s hard to choose my favourite pieces, but I think for me this silver coloured diamante rose cuff wins hands down. This piece is the ultimate accessory needed to draw attention to yourself. It’s £65.00 but once on it literally looks a million dollars!!

This is gorgeous designer jewellery that deserves to be worn as though it’s a family heirloom!!

Not only did I not know that Kew was the little sister brand of top high street name Jigsaw, I also didn’t know what great and affordable jewellery they have to offer.

I have heard of Kew in the past, but always associated their products to be quite dull and aimed at the older lady, but after checking out their goods on line I’m very much mistaken!

For instance this trendy Triple Loop necklace attracted my attention straight away. Its so original looking and a real statement piece that would look fab with a plain t-shirt. Its a very fashionable green made up of a triple layer of flat beads and can be bought on line or in store for just £18.

This Disc Necklace is also just as stylish but is a little more subtle than that of the Triple Loop. Its gold in colour and is a fine long chain that has delicate discs attached to create a very elegant look! This can also be found on line or in store and can be all yours for just £19.95.

Big, Bold and colourful necklaces that really make a statement to even the most simple outfit are very much in this season and going by the pieces I’ve found, big does not have to mean expensive.

If you went looking, I think you would find most high street stores would be big on the statement necklaces and would have many a design for you to choose from. I stuck to one of my favourite high street stores - Topshop, where their freedom collection always manages to come up trumps no matter what you’re after.

This Mirrored Bib necklace is quite expensive for Topshop at £25, but I think most people would agree, its still very reasonable for the size of the piece. The delicate but bold mirrored beads sit on a black strap and would definitely add statement to any outfit, its a hugely striking and eye catching necklace, but with a touch of elegance - I love it!

If your looking for a statement necklace that’s for the more casual look then this Cut Out Shapes necklace does just the job and for a very reasonable £10. The burgundy plastic shapes form into a pointed drop to add shape and style to the necklace. This piece would set off any neckline but I think it would look great with a simple vest top to make the necklace the main focal point.

So sit back and let the necklaces talk girls - the bigger the better!!

When I say chunky cuffs I’m not talking about shirt cuffs, I’m talking about about great fashion statements in the form of a bracelet. They seem to be the must have item out there in celebville with a great metallic cuff seen on Sienna Miller, a punky studded look for Hilary Duff and a more ornate delight spotted on Fergie.

Where can you get your hands on these great accessories I hear you cry, and the answer quite simply is on the high street!!

To name but a few, one of my favourite high street bargains is this Multi Stone Wristwear from Topshop’s freedom collection. Its big, bold and vibrant and costs just £6. Also from the Freedom collection check out this Amulet Cuff Bracelet for the punky vibe at just £10. Topshop have really embraced the chunky cuff this season so check out the whole collection either on line or in store.

If you’re more in to ornate jewellery then this Textured Flower Cuff will be perfect with stamped metal flowers and glass stones. Its just £10 and again can be found on line or in store at Accessorize.
