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.

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 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.

It appears that with the snake skin trend has come snake jewellery. The likes of Kimberly Stewart and Mary Kate Olsen are obviously loving the new accessories as they have recently been papped with snake jewels wrapped round arms and necks!!

I don’t think this is a trend that will be catching everyone’s eye but if you can pull it off it can make a good look. It is obviously quite a popular trend among the high street as well as I didn’t find it hard to track down some scaly pieces.

For the look on a budget I would recommend this Snake Ring available at Topshop. It’s just £4.00 and comes in both gold and silver. So not to look too scary I would stick to just the one snake piece at a time!!

This is probably one of the craziest designs for a ring I think I have ever seen!! Correct me if I’m wrong but who in their right mind would want to wear a piano on their finger?

For one, if I was too wear such a thing I would constantly be catching it on things. It’s bad enough when you wear a normal sized ring, but this beast will be getting stuck everywhere and ripping any type of material that gets in its way.

It’s also quite pricey at £32 and I’m not quite sure what kind of outfit you would team it with either. There is one positive I can find and that’s the fact it has an adjustable silver ring to fit all.

This look must appeal to some out there so if your one of them then you can find this design along with many other, shall we say unique designs, when you log on to www.kabiri.co.uk

This is such an exciting new jewellery range, something completely unique and gorgeous; let me introduce you to Eclectic Eccentricity!

Eclectic Eccentricity is only a couple of years old, it is made by a lady with a passion for vintage jewellery, she loves reworking into old vintage jewellery, using old pieces of chain, charms, beads and pendants to create in her own words; ‘something new, eclectic and slightly eccentric’ and the best part is because they’re vintage they’re mostly one off pieces! Hoorah!

Each piece of jewellery whether it be a necklace, brooch or ring has a cute little message behind it, the necklace I have chosen to show you is called ‘Up, Up and Away! Hot Air Balloon necklace,’ I love the detail in this necklace, its very cute and will only set you back £11! Purchase it online or browse through many of the other delights she has to offer! Check out the thoughtful descriptions of each piece in her collection, nice touch!

Nude Jewellery is a great Mayfair boutique that now has a fab on line store ready for the x-mas rush!!

They stock creations from over 40 designers and to name but a few have original pieces such as hand-hammered gold disc earrings and giant bits of quartz that have been carved into rings. They even have ivory snakeskin cuffs for the more adventurous out there.

They pride themselves on stocking handmade jewellery and like to find the time to seek out up and coming and hard to find designers from all around the world so the collection available is very vast. They can even create custom made jewellery for any budget.

Like many girls out there I have the hard task of finding something affordable yet personal for my man this x-mas. When I checked out Nude Jewellery I was surprised to find this contemporary and stylish ring for just £40. It looks way more expensive that it actually is so if you’re lucky you might be able to save yourself a few bob!!

To give you a good idea about the different price ranges you can find at Nude, it would be rude not to highlight this stunning diamond ring that costs a whopping £2375. In the diamond section of the on line shop, some pieces do not have a price tag so I guess that’s for the lucky ones where money is no object - we can all dream!!

This has to be the biggest, blingiest rings I think I’ve ever seen. Its just huge and each area of the ring is covered in Diamantés with a large rock in the middle for the extra wow factor.

It has been designed and created by Kenneth Jay Lane as a gold-tone crystal embellished cocktail ring - definitely not one for everyday use! It has an adjustable band inside and has a circumference of approx 4cm so should be suitable for all.

I know they say that diamonds are a girls best friend, but I’m thinking this lush diamanté delight comes a very close second indeed. Find this beauty at www.net-a-porter.com for a pricey £105, but hey you’re paying for the name and for a ring this glitzy, it doesn’t come cheap!

Big Jewel cocktail rings seem to be massive this season, they can be seen in all the new autumn/winter collections and they really don’t have to be expensive either.

I managed to track down a couple of gorgeous but reasonably priced rings that can be all yours with just a quick trip to the highstreet. This colourful cocktail ring can be bought in store or on line from Topshop’s Freedom range. Its just £10 and features an array of mixed stones and measures 17mm in diameter.

Or if you can’t get your hands on one of these, another one of my favourites that I found was this Nova Cluster ring from Monsoon’s Accessorize collection. Its a cluster of faceted and round beads in browns and blues to give that dazzling jewel look. Again you can buy on line or in store and is a very reasonable £8.

On line fashion jewellery boutique Glitzy Secrets has just launched The Starlet collection that has taken its inspiration from Hollywood. Find both jewellery and hair accessories that have been influenced by the timeless style and glamour of all Hollywood starlets.

The use of dramatic pendants and chokers along with vintage necklaces and chandelier earrings have been used to replicate the love of the big silver screen and to add style that shines with glitzy sophistication. Bold colours are also dominant in the collection to ensure one of the brightest winter seasons in fashion.

To create the perfect Hollywood style these High Society earrings £19.99, Glamour Rocks Cocktail Ring £18.99 and Film Star Bracelet £29.99 are a must. All these items are totally reminiscent of the jewellery worn by the Starlets and are sure to add chic sparkle to any outfit.
