If you're in need of some (seasonal) bling - without a major bank raid - this is a good place to start. I wasn't sure that their sparkles would be quite up-my-street (in spite of my sub-headline) but after I had spent a little time looking around here there was plenty to tempt me.

I especially liked the faceted heart-shaped pendants, in a choice of glowing hues, at £65. The assistant told me they were current bestsellers. There was also a very adorable multi-diamanté pendant and matching earrings (called 'dolce') at £70 and £75 respectively. If you fancy something more typically seasonal you could choose a holly-leaf pendant at £35, or a cute poinsettia ornament for £27.

Although it wasn't swarmingly busy, the manageress seemed rather stressed when I posed a query about packaging but the first assistant I spoke with was fab.
