Designer diamond style without the celebrity price tag

Sponsored post

We all love looking great and keeping up with the latest styles. But sometimes, a quick bit of retail therapy on your local high street just isn’t enough. When you want to make important purchases, where you might be spending a bit more money or looking for something that goes beyond a quick seasonal fashion fix, it takes a bit more consideration.

When it comes to buying something like jewellery, where you’re potentially investing in something that will last you a lifetime, you might need a bit of extra help.

High-street chains are great for a lot of things, but when you want something really special, it’s time to go to the experts. There are hundreds of online jewellery dealers springing up on the Internet, but it can be difficult to know who to trust.

That’s where people like Serendipity Diamonds come in. They are a highly experienced, family company that specialises in diamond jewellery. What makes them even more special is the care and attention they offer; they really do put their customers at the forefront of everything they do.

Diamond jewellery can sometimes conjure up a slightly old-fashioned image. And yes, whilst traditional styles will always be popular, designs have moved on a lot in recent years. For example, take engagement rings. Most people think of a single, solitaire diamond, either round or princess cut. These styles are great, they ooze classic style, but now we have started to see more interesting shapes of diamonds coming through and even multi-stone, diamond set shoulders and cluster styles, for those wanting something a bit less traditional, with a bit more ‘wow factor’.

Serendipity Diamonds has a great, easy to use website that lets you play around and build your own ring based on your individual requirements. Change the style, setting, metal type, diamond grade and size and see how each change affects the price. With their huge range, clear pricing policy and wonderful customer service, there are no hidden surprises.

Diamond earrings are something every woman should have in her jewellery collection. Be they solitaire studs or drop earrings dripping with sparkling diamonds, they are timeless and will give any outfit real Hollywood glamour. Again, it’s worth investing in real quality, so don’t pay over the odds going to a high-street chain, deal directly with experts.

Serendipity Diamonds offers the best of both worlds; the ease and convenience of shopping online, but you can also arrange a personal appointment to view any of the pieces at their offices in Ryde.

If you’re looking for wedding rings, they have a great selection, ranging from plain bands to diamond set and even two colour styles. Or why not go for something completely unique and take advantage of their bespoke design and production service. Simply describe what you’re after and they will create accurate designs based on your exact specifications. Choose every single detail to create a truly personal piece of stunning jewellery.

Serendipity Diamonds have perfectly combined traditional customer-focused values with modern day technology. Their Facebook page is backed up by a dedicated team on hand to answer all your questions. They are rightly proud of the service they offer and do everything possible to ensure every single customer enjoys their experience of shopping with them from start to finish.

 

Gwyneth Paltrow for Lindex

 

She may have been in the papers this week for her very public spat with Kate Moss, but Gwyneth Paltrow has shown she’s got much more in her favour.

The Hollywood actress has been modelling the latest collection for fashion house Lindex, which suits her classic style down to a T.

Preppy striped tops and dresses teamed with classic blazers form the main part of the collection, while polka dot shorts and coloured jeans give it a modern day twist.

We think Gwyn models it perfectly, we just wish that we had her figure too.

LFW AW 2012 highlights: Christopher Kane

 

And of course Christopher Kane’s AW 2012 range stands out here. Using his statement neon and unique fabrics the designer created an 80s feel with his bright purple leopard prints fashioned into knee length frocks, bright red snakeskin trousers and chunky fur coats.

Post box reds featured in sheer lace dresses with black leather trimmings while darker rouges were used to update the traditional boyfriend style knit jumper.

This key piece of the collection was teamed with floral numbers to create that mismatched statement 80s look.
We wonder if we can get a few more credit cards.

See the gallery below for all the pics from the show.

He has the ability to make a girl look persuasive and fierce and fragile and delicate and a million other things that you never thought could be possible.”

Jaime King presented ‘KickAss’ star Chloe Moretz with the One to Watch award, Selma Blair passed out the Hollywood Boutique of the Year title to Decades while Mandy Moore also took the stage as she announced Molly Stern as Make-Up Artist of the Year.
