Swarovski

If you’re in need of some (seasonal) bling — without a major bank raid — this is a good place to start. I wasn’t sure that their sparkles would be quite up-​my-​street (in spite of my sub-​headline) but after I had spent a little time looking around here there was plenty to tempt me.
I especially liked the faceted heart-​shaped pendants, in a choice of glowing hues, at £65. The assistant told me they were current bestsellers. There was also a very adorable multi-​diamanté pendant and matching earrings (called ‘dolce’) at £70 and £75 respectively. If you fancy something more typically seasonal you could choose a holly-​leaf pendant at £35, or a cute poinsettia ornament for £27.
Although it wasn’t swarmingly busy, the manageress seemed rather stressed when I posed a query about packaging but the first assistant I spoke with was fab.
