EVERY girl loves the sparkle of precious stones and this season’s jewel colours are bound to bring out the magpie in you.

From bold block hues of pink or purple, to more delicate prints with just a hint of emerald or sapphire, this is a look that oozes confidence.

Just as a diamond stands out on a gold band, metallic tones provide a contrast to these dramatic colours.
