As the nights draw close and candles burn bright, we're drawn to jewels that prove the perfect counterpoint to the darker colours and rougher textures of our wardrobes.

There's something so beautiful about the shine of a gold brooch nestled against the lapel of a tweed blazer; a diamond bracelet holding up a sleeve of a great sweater a la Miuccia Prada, or even the simplest of pearl studs peeping out from beyond a chunky scarf.

And while we can never resist a dazzling cocktail ring or dramatic earrings during this, the peak of party season, we know that even the smaller, simpler pieces can pack a punch at any hour of the day (or night).

From discreet diamond studs to graphic silhouettes in precious metal, we'll always champion anything that catches the light. Enjoy the sparkly season ahead! NS x
