1. Links of London - £1,900
This delicate necklace from Links would make a really special gift. The 18-carat gold design is beautiful on tanned skin and the clasp is unusual - a crescent that slips through a loop.

2. Diva - £12
Long necklaces are still fashionable, and this birdcage is an easy way to add folky charm to your look. If birds aren’t your thing, there is plenty of other animal jewellery at the stores.

9. Mawi - £230
Mawi was the fashionistas’ favourite a few years ago with its pirate-style charm jewellery. This season they’ve created a range of heavy stone pieces that are wellworth splashing out on.
