Engagement Ring Trends
The engagement ring market is constantly evolving, as discerning consumers look for something different to set themselves apart from the crowd. For several years, the focus was on the vintage-style glamour of Edwardian and Victorian era rings – typically a statement diamond surrounded by a halo of small gems. Over the last few years though, we’ve seen a surge in demand for coloured gemstones. Part of this can undoubtedly be traced back to 2010, when Prince William presented Kate Middleton with the twelve carat blue sapphire ring that had previously belonged to his mother, Princess Diana. But even before this, blue sapphire had already been growing in popularity, as it…

A Thomas Sabo Summer Wishlist
One of the first fashion events I ever went to was for iconic jewellery brand Thomas Sabo. It was held in the glorious surroundings of the Langham Hotel in London and was a suitably glamorous affair, with Summer cocktails and pastries that perfectly echoed the elegance and beauty of the Thomas Sabo pieces on display. I was enchanted by the whole collection and have been a huge fan ever since. Many people think Thomas Sabo and then immediately think of the fabulous, fascinating charms and bracelets that are highly collectable, but there is a lot more to Thomas Sabo than just charms.

Most of my jewellery has sentimental, rather than actual value. But there is an exception to the rule. I love pearls. Pearls are the birthstone for June, they are a jewel that always looks pretty but with an edge of cool, Marianne Faithful, Marilyn Monroe and Madonna are just some of the icons who have worn pearls to make a fashion statement. Pearls are a style classic, always current, and always a statement. American Company Pearl and Clasp have a fantastic range of…

Perfect Sapphire Jewellery at Angara.com
Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve had an intense penchant for Sapphires. I think it may be linked to my style crush on Diana, Princess of Wales, who was the epitome of a fairy tale princess, and wore an enormous sapphire engagement ring on her finger. My first proper ring was a gift from my grandparents. It was a small blue sapphire that I wore with love until my finger grew big and the the piece was consigned to my jewellery box. Recently I’ve started wearing it on a chain around my neck, and have been looking at some sapphire pendants that are available at Angara.com. ‘The Gemstone…
