How To Rebuild Your Jewellery Wardrobe

How To Rebuild Your Jewellery Wardrobe

The robbers who broke into my flat last week must've been gutted. There was no iPad 2 or iPhone 4 to add to their swag - just one box of jewellery on my bedside table. And by ‘jewellery’, I mean costume tat. Sorry burglars, I'm not sure rusty bangles that'll turn your wrists green, chunky neon rings circa 2006, and countless pairs of hoop earrings were quite what you were after… How embarrassing. So now I find myself entirely jewel-less. Aside from the few items surgically attached to my wrist - a gold watch from Urban Outfitters and a stretchy beaded bracelet from Cos - I don’t have so much as a H Samuel stud to my name. 'Think of it as a project,' my friend Lili says. 'You can start afresh and buy pieces that you'll wear forever'. Yes, I’ll treat myself to something worth stealing, but where to begin? My first port of call is, naturally, Astley Clarke . The luxury jeweller is home to an exquisite range of gemstones and boasts an A-list clientele ranging from Nicole Kidman to Nicole Richie . So who better to ask for advice than the Founder and Managing Director herself? ‘There are several core pieces that should make up every woman’s jewellery box,’ Bec Astley-Clarke tells me. 'These pieces won’t go out of fashion and will reflect your individual style.' So before trotting off to AC's bijou showroom, Bec gives me her gems (ha!) of wisdom...

* Pair of stud earrings – 'a pair of either gemstone or silver/gold studs are perfect for some understated elegance.' * A statement cuff – 'make this the focal point of your look and you won’t need to wear anything else.'

Phewf! I might have to live on bread and baked beans for the next year (or three) if I'm going to buy all this in one spree, but armed with my wish list, I step from the hubbub of Paddington into Astley Clarke's twinkling jewellery box. 

The lovely Anna Louise , personal shopper extraordinare, gives me a guided tour of the trinkets displayed in antique Parisian cabinets, explaining the meaning of each piece and the significance of every stone.
