Her Catwalk has done a fantastic article on Jean Joaillerie which is very interesting as it tells you about the designer - Jan Roberts.  Jan launched her first collection of statement stylish jewellery in November 2010 and has gained a great following for her products.  The products are beautiful handmade pieces of jewellery to wear as the mood takes you.  Wear them on ripped jeans, on a crisp white shirt, on a bikini - the limitation is your imagination.  Here is the article.

The Perfect Engagement Ring

Sir Paul spends £395,000 on perfect ring for fiancée When music legend Sir Paul McCartney proposed to his new fiancée last week he demonstrated that - 

despite having been burned in the past - all you need is love… and apparently an enormous engagement ring. 

The Beatles star got down on one knee for the third 

time to ask his long-term girlfriend, American heiress,  Nancy Shevell, to marry, presenting her with a 

unique art deco-style engagement ring. 

The piece of ultra-high-end designer jewellery is said to be worth £395,000, with the bulk of the value 

being in the rare, round main diamond,thought to be 

in excess of five carats. The platinum setting also 

features strips of black onyx along the sides. 

Sir Paul worked closely with famed jeweller, Neil Lane, to design the piece, stating that he wanted to create 

something "truly exceptional". 

"It has a beautiful vintage feel to it," Lane told People magazine. "Very romantic, elegant and glamorous but with a bit of cool glitz and rock and roll."

Sir Paul proved that his disastrous wedding to Heather Mills has not put him off true love, and it appears that his new bride could not be more different to his second wife. Nancy is said to be adored by Sir Paul's children and, 

as the daughter of a freight and shipping billionaire who has in the past been described as "richer than God", is 

certainly not in it for the money.

Middletons kept wedding jewellery choices close to home

Kate Middleton kept her jewellery choice for her big day on Friday close to home, wearing earrings made by the wife of an MP from the Middleton family’s home county of Berkshire.

The earrings – which featured a diamond-set oak leaf and pavé-set diamond acorn from the family’s new crest – were made by bespoke designer jewellery makers, Robinson Pelham. One of the co-founders of the company, Zoe Benyon, is the wife of Tory MP for Newbury, Richard Benyon.

The company received a commission for the jewellery from Carole and Michael Middleton, who wanted Kate – now Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge – to wear her own family jewellery on the auspicious occasion.

The Benyons are close neighbours and friends of the Middleton family. Their link was emphasised by the fact that not only Kate’s jewellery, but the items worn by Carole and sister, Pippa, on the big day, were provided by Robinson Pelham. Pippa wore floral-look diamond earrings with her well-received dress, while Carole’s pendant and earrings came from the same stock.

And not to think the gentlemen were forgotten about either: Michael and Kate’s 23-year-old brother, James, were both kitted out with gold suit pins from the same company as well.
