Tiffany& Co: The Return of the Big Spender...

“In the depth of the recession, Tiffany & Co. struggled to sell $3,200 diamond earrings and $12,000 bangles, while it fared better with $100 silver necklaces. Today, the situation is reversed, as the high-end retailer grapples with softer sales of jewellery under $500.” (Globe and Mail)

So, it looks like the recession is finally coming to a close as the big spenders return, snapping up some of Tiffany & Co's priciest pieces. How will this influence the lower end of the market? We shall keep you posted.

It looks like the Big Bang of Jewellery!

Do Your Bit for Charity and Look Fabulous at the Same Time...

The beautiful mother and daughter Yasmin and Amber LeBon have teamed up to support Malaria No More by sporting one of the new mosquito lockets by the amazing, 3 times winner of "British Luxury Jeweller of the Year" Stephen Webster.

"It's exciting for my Mum and me to support such a worthwhile cause," Amber Le Bon said. "We are a close family and I can't imagine what it would be like to lose one of them, let alone to a disease like malaria that is easy to prevent and treat. I think the mosquito locket is stunning and can't wait to get mine!"

The locket is available exclusively on ASOS.COM for £95, with an incredible 100 per cent of profits going to Malaria No More UK to help save lives in Africa. There's really no excuse not to get one!
