I couldn’t resist taking a quick peek at this Lee Angel Emma pendant necklace – after all it appears we share the same name!!
This has a great vintage vibe and looks like a classic antique piece that will wear forever. Find this tree silhouette pendant necklace on a drop chain that clasps at the back of the neck. It features tiny quartz beads with a subtle diamante trim around the actual pendant.
I can’t see this beautiful accessory being a common feature in everyone’s jewellery box, but I love its originality and I’m always a sucker for antique style goodies! If this is your kind of thing then you’re in luck as this piece is also an item in the Net-a-porter sale with a purchase price of £84.00 reduced from £105.00.

With Pop Art being the latest fashion to hit the high street it is vital you accessorise in a bold and brave way. This trend has no room for the shy ones amongst us.
Accessories are to be bold, daring and colourful however you must stay safe but keeping your accessories to a minimum. The impact you will have on an outfit with minimal jewellery will be perfect, you do not want to over do it!
All Saints have designed the ultimate Pop Art necklace that ticks all the boxes for me. It’s fun and bold but will also create a massive statement – I love it!! It’s not the cheapest at £45, but it is by far the nicest Pop Art accessory I have come across. Get yours on line at www.allsaintsshop.co.uk.

Kit Heath jewellery is a fab family run business based in Devon that has spent the last 20 years creating and designing beautiful jewellery. Their collection consists of both men and women’s pieces as well as having a kids collection so it’s definitely worth a look if you have young to buy for this xmas.
Each item falls in to one of six categories: Ethnic, Organic, Vintage, Dark chic, Romantic and iced gems. Each piece in each category is designed around the same theme.
I have to say that I love the Vintage collection where textured silver and faceted stones are used to give that extra decorative touch like with this large oval textured necklace for £70.50. You can view all of Kit Heath creations on line, however you will have to check out the nearest stockist before making a purchase.

Argent of London is a great jewellery stockist that I have recently been introduced to. They began in 1996 and aim to provide jewellery that people can buy for themselves instead of having to wait for that special someone to get the hint.
The designs create a statement and can be worn for today instead of having to keep pieces stuck in your jewellery box getting dusty while you wait for that special occasion to arrive. You can find it all at Argent of London, from sterling silver and 18ct gold to diamonds and precious stones so they really do cater for everyone’s budget.
After browsing through their vast collection on line at www.argentlondon.com, I was instantly drawn to this silver twisted heart pendant and chain. I expect it was because it has a certain Tiffany & Co feel to the design with the use of the heart but with a much more attractive price tag at just £38.

In my opinion you can’t go wrong this Christmas if you check out jewellery sets for all your female family members and friends! A great set will be a hit with any jewellery loving lady.
You do have to be careful with some sets though. Sometimes, especially if a bold design is used it may be a bit over powering to wear all items at once. The trick is too find a nice subtle set that can be worn come day or night and to any occasion.
This silver necklace and earrings set is perfect. For starters you can’t go wrong with just plain silver, once you start introducing colours and gemstones you might slip up. This design is also trendy and unique so is bound to go down well. Is a solid sterling silver set so you can guarantee excellent quality for your money.
Taking all this in to consideration you have to expect the price tag that comes attached – £133 from www.pistachio-jewellery.co.uk. I think you would agree its worth it though for that extra special person.

If individual style is your thing, then look no further than Nina & Lola. They only began in April 2007, however already have many designers and some fab vintage sources. Their aim is to reduce the fashion clone count by promoting individuality in people who follow their own instinct when it comes to fashion.
This website has it all, a wide range of vintage and designer clothing that leaves you wanting a complete wardrobe overhaul, and most importantly it stocks gorgeous need-it-now jewellery that justifies an accessory splurge.
Their jewellery can be quite pricey with price tags up to £2320, but I think I have found some very reasonable examples that still represent the culture that Nina & Lola are trying to create. For starters this extra fun 60′s vintage red moonstone necklace is just £20. The reds are vibrant and the beads are light catching so you will glow at all times!
In keeping with 60′s theme, you will also find this white, orange and gold long necklace for £45. So for a season that is loving big statement necklaces and where colour is everything, this necklace would fit right in. To see what other delights they have to offer, just visit www.ninaandlola.com.

I guarantee there’s not many of us girls out there who don’t adore Disney. Its definitely something you never grow too old for. I think it’s the magical characters and fantasy aspect of each movie that keeps me watching time and time again.
If like me you don’t just collect the DVD’s but you have stuffed toys and all sorts of other Disney memorabilia taking over any spare shelf space then you will love this jewellery range I have stumbled across when searching on www.asos.com – Disney Couture.
The best thing about this collection is that it focuses all around good old Tinkerbell – one of my all time favourite Disney characters. This Believe Tink necklace is £22, gold plated on a delicate chain and dangles with star chains and sparkles with diamanté and of course features a little Tink to add to the effect – perfect for all us girly girls!!
As part of this couture collection you can also find these Sitting Tink And Star large hoop earrings for £25. I think Tinkerbell looks great in these and is of course surrounded by her signatory stars! So if you have a Disney fan to buy for this Christmas, the couture collection would make the perfect pressie.
