Style up your look everyday with jewellery and tilt the world in your favour. “That’s lovely”, “Where did you get that?” “Are they real?”… Doors will open and conversations will start, not to mention you will look fabulous!

Jewellery is the ultimate accessory and adds the sophisticated finishing touch to your appearance. Try not to be too fussy about matching pieces. Don’t worry about mixing white gold with yellow and rose gold.

Have your precious jewllery serviced by your jeweller.

Claws renewed on precious stones.

Dents ‘panel beaten’ out of pieces, usually bangles, when necessary.

Necklaces need to be restrung when you notice wear or a fault in the thread.

Try to have knotting done in either between every bead or at least here and there to safeguard against loss if the necklace breaks.

Vintage and antique pieces can be functional again with repair.

Have a loop put onto a cameo brooch and transform it into a pendant.

Professional cleaning will make your jewellery ‘new’ again.

Tip: If you have a double or triple strand of graduated cultured pearls that you never wear, have them restrung to opera length. An opera length strand of graduated pearls looks a million dollars.
