Bulgari has partnered with Save The Children to produce this beautiful bracelet, with £60 from each sale going straight to the charity, to help thousands of children living in poverty here in the UK. It means their parents can ensure they have all the books, hot meals and clean clothes they need to feel secure and get on at school. It’s true what they say: charity really does begin at home.

I have a confession. Beneath my minimalist, jeans-wearing exterior beats the glitter-loving heart of a true magpie. I dig sparkle. I crave shine. So nothing made me happier recently than seeing a veritable treasure trove of Swarovski-encrusted clothes on the A/W 16 catwalks. These weren’t the scary, Ab Fab-esque creations of yesteryear – the instantly desirable embellished skirts at Emilia Wickstead, shimmering Holly Fulton knits and dazzling crystal and neoprene creations at Mary Katrantzou are the stuf of grown-up princesses’ dreams. The kind of special pieces you can work into your wardrobe and love forever. They are gorgeous. They are chic. They are… not available until autumn. Luckily, bling lovers like me can tap into the trend right now with Swarovski’s latest jewellery collection, out this month, like this brilliant bracelet (left) or double-stranded necklace (above). They’re just blingy enough for me, for now, and they even look great with my jeans.

BROWN DIAMONDS Subtler than their icy cousins but certainly no less beautiful, cinnamon-hued stones are popping up everywhere right now, especially paired with rose gold. “I adore the combination. It creates a tone-on-tone efect that’s so flattering, especially in dainty, personal pieces like rings. It’s a new neutral, something you can wear day or night,” says jeweller du jour Anna Sheield.
