Celestina is a fabulous Accessories label that isn’t afraid to offer something new and unique! It was created in 2006 by a former fashion model; Tina Maristela- Ocampo who takes huge inspiration from her native country; the Philippines. This obsession with Filipino art has enabled her to produce a distinctive signature style that is ethnically stunning!
This Celestina Bente Uno cuff is a fine example of her work, made out of mother of pearl and semi precious malachite stones set in gold filigree; it is a true work of art! The combinations of luxurious materials really compliment each other; the pure white mother of pearl provides a perfect base for the beautiful mottled green malachite stones that are displayed so intricately within gold cases. If you love ethnic jewellery be sure to check out Celestina on Net-a-porter. This bangle can be purchased from the site for £940!

Jade Jagger has produced a new collection of jewellery just in time for summer! It is what you would expect from the sun kissed party girl; a gold dominated collection with a slight boho feel mixed with a few diamontes to give it that all important glitz and glamour!
The collection is slightly ‘seen it all before’; all the gold and bling, skulls and lip charms, however I’m sure it will do well! This necklace is a Jade Jagger Kiss necklace, it is gold plated with a diamonte embellished lip charm. For £300.00 this may be a little over priced, however judge for yourself on Net-a-porter, they have a selection of Jade Jagger’s new collection for you to critique!

I first noticed this stunning necklace when I was flicking through a magazine and saw an advertisement for Yves Saint Laurent; there was Kate Moss wearing a cute grey jumper dress with this stunning bold statement around her neck; the multicoloured plexiglas star necklace!
I have to say this necklace is fantastic; so unique and completely reflective of the Star trend which is going to be so hot this summer! This necklace was designed by Stefano Pilati, he has produced a whole collection of star jewellery for Yves Saint Laurent; I can’t wait to see what’s next!
This necklace costs £1,795! For those of you lucky enough to afford it check out Stylefinder for stockists!

Wow! Check out these for a pair of earrings! These are the latest Ping Pong earrings from the new collection by Erickson Beamon.
These earrings are definitely giving me a taste for summer with a mixture of vibrant blue, yellow and orange crystals; these little lovelies will really set off that cute little summer dress you’ve been dying to wear all winter! Try to match your clothing with one of the colours in the earrings, if not black or white is always a safe bet!
Blondes and brunettes will both look stunning in these earrings however brunettes will provide a perfect base to set off the vibrant crystals; they will be far more vibrant against a darker hair colour and therefore would be perfect for an evening. Buy yourself a pair of these Erickson Beamon Ping Pong earrings for £230 from Net-a-porter.

Net a Porter has yet again introduced us to a hot new talent; the jewellery line Isharya. This interesting new line was founded by San Francisco-based Radhika Tandor and sister in law Gauri Tandon. They’re heavily influenced by India and base their collections on the traditional jewellery of the Royal Indian families. This is very apparent in their designs that are stunningly exotic and ornate.
I’ve always been in awe of the Indian culture and their beautiful crafts and this collection truly reflects the beauty of this inspiring culture. To give you a quick glimpse of the collection as I know you are all dying to see what i’m talking about; here is a pair of Isharya Moon Bali earrings delicately embellished with small turquoise beads and pearls. These earrings would make the perfect gift, for £85 make someone happy this Christmas (even if it’s yourself!)

A big trend right now is big dangly earrings, and I’m a massive fan of this look, but it’s more vintage inspired gems than big gold hoops! Rihanna, Hayden and Peaches Geldoff have all been spotted wearing them, mainly with hair tied back to give a full on glamour effect.
As always Accessorize have got more than a few to chose from, as well as Freedom at Topshop and Mikey. Perfect for your Christmas work do coming up, or if money’s a little on the tight side why not add some to your Christmas list.
The earrings shown here are from a collection at Accessorize for £12, Check out their site there’s too many to chose from.

I was browsing the web when I came across this gorgeous and stylish jewellery site; Little Jewellery Boutique.
Little Jewellery boutique showcases designers from cities all over the globe including London, Paris, LA and Sydney. The site promotes an eclectic variety of jewellery from ten very talented designers. Each designer has their own individual and quirky signature style that you won’t be able to resist!
This beautiful stone and wire combination bracelet was my weakness, it was produced by Susan Hanover who is inspired by the colours and textures of South Africa; her native country. Her collection is very much based around these lush semi-precious stones that are extremely striking, particularly for an evening. This photo shows three bangles stacked together, each bangle costs £39.95.

French Connection has always been a store for gorgeous garments but is not as famous for its range of accessories, which is ever expanding and stylish. I was pleasantly surprised with their selection of vintage style brass jewellery.

This Brass Bow Necklace is vintage looking, priced at £25 and would be a compliment to a plain outfit for an evening on the town, matched with this Grecian metal, brass coloured cuff priced at £12. Alternatively maybe you’d prefer just one accessory to glitz up an outfit, so this Knotted Bracelet would be prefect, costing £20.
The whole range can be found and purchased on line at www.fcukbuymail.com alternatively pop in to your nearest store that stocks jewellery.
