Magic Word Bracelets - A unique and Inspiring Gift

As soon as Lucy Wilkinson, the Founder of Magic Word Bracelet got in touch, I couldn't wait to work with her. I love gifts which are personal, unique and inspiring and this is exactly what this brand has to offer.

The Magic Word Bracelet is one which has been handmade and then hand stamped with meaningfulness and magic - they are simple but powerful bracelets for children and adults. 

“It's more than just a piece of Jewellery - it about the empowering WORDS and we all know that WORDS can change everything! Carry your magic word bracelet with you every day to inspire you, encourage you and to remind you that you are brilliant, you are enough and you are magic!" 

The Magic Word Bracelet are available in gold, sliver, rose gold and gun mental, with various different colours of string to be chosen from. As well as your word, you can have letters, numbers and symbols stamped to. 

So how do you choose your word? Thankfully Lucy is on hand with a guide to help you to do just that and this is how it works:

STEP 1: Start with a Question
Choose one or two of the following questions and jot down the first words that come to mind:

• What’s a goal of yours?
• What brings you joy?
• Is there something you want to let go of?
• Is there something you want to improve?
• What energises you or makes you feel like your true self?

STEP 2: Develop

• What’s holding you back from achieving the answers in step 1?
• What word, as a daily reminder would help you achieve what you seek from step 1?

For example, if you want to start something new, but have some doubts you’d like to overcome, you could choose a word such as BELIEVE, COURAGE, or IGNITE.  If you’re feeling overwhelmed you may choose a reminder like BREATHE, STRENGTH or FAITH.

STEP 3: Identify your Word

You may have come up with a few words, and that’s OK, but what is the one word that is the most important, the priority, to begin working on today?

Declare out loud: My word is _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _!

It is as simple as that.  Now we are living in uncertain times and this little exercise came at a really good time when I was a little stressed, feeling overwhelmed with learning to adjust to working from home, not seeing my work colleagues, can't see my family or friends, going to do the food shop has become more of a chore than ever before, remembering to carry a facemask with me at all times and having to cook more than I have done before all takes it toll.

So, I completed the steps above as directed too and this is my word.

I have worn my bracelet every single day since it arrived, it really is such a lovely reminder to just breathe...

These bracelets start from £15 and come beautifully box up. A fabulous empowering gift for yourself or someone else - perfect for Mums, stocking fillers for kids (they absolutely love the), Christmas or just for sharing the love and kindness to someone you care about.

Jewellery Gifts for Each and Every Occasion

No matter what the occasions are, if it’s a celebratory one, you can always rely on the great variety of jewellery gifts to give as a valuable present.

The history of people wearing jewellery to enhance their outlook can be traced back to the Egyptian civilization. Thanks to the craftsmen and designers, it kept on evolving before it took its current shape. Today, different pieces of jewellery are integral to our outfit as an important accessory. Some wear them to complement their overall outlook, while some others use them to create a unique personality and for others, they wear them because they have been designed by a loved one using a rolling mill to make it extra special.

So, it goes without saying that people, especially women are usually always excited about receiving jewellery as a present. They are highly valuable, greatly useful, and can last for a long time, if not forever. Below, we discuss the reasons that make jewellery gifts* so appealing and popular still to this date.

Perfect for All Celebratory Occasions

Whether it’s a birthday celebration, anniversary, wedding, or even a baby shower, jewellery works perfectly as a present to mark the occasion. They are timelessly traditional and would eventually enhance the appearance of the receiver for a long time to come in the future. Jewellery also tends to be perceived as very valuable, both monetarily and stylistically.

However, jewellery gifts don’t even have to be very expensive or fancy. As long as it’s jewellery, you can be certain of winning over their hearts. Lasting a long time, they are also a perfect token of appreciation that will keep on reminding them about you.

Numerous Jewellery Options for Everyone

There is no shortage of options when it comes to jewellery. In fact, the options are so limitless that it can get overwhelmingly difficult to choose a particular one. To start with, there are many different kinds of jewellery like necklaces, rings, bracelets, nose pins, bangles, earrings, pendants, and so much more.

Each of the different kinds of jewellery can also be crafted from a number of different materials including gold, silver, stainless steel, wood, charm, copper, etc. Not to mention the availability of so many different designs and details. Even if you look for a totally unique one, you can easily design and make jewellery gifts right from the scratch. There are also a lot of options available in every budget.

Besides, pieces of jewellery are usually loved and worn by people of all ages and backgrounds. You would find designs suitable for your mom, daughter, wife, sister, friend, and all the other loved ones. There are also many collections designed for men and children, making them a truly comprehensive option as a present.

Incredible Customisation Options

With numerous jewellers ready to craft your dreams into a reality, you can design and create your jewellery exactly the way you want them to be. There are also the options of customising and turn a pre-designed piece into a unique one with the addition of things like engravings, charms, letters, and symbols, etc.

Willful Smart Watch - Apple iWatch Dupe

I love my iPhone and for years I’ve listed after an iWatch but can’t ever seem to justify the price, they are mega expensive but then everyone I know who has one just raves about it. Anyway, browsing on Amazon, as you do... it’s like the middle aisle of Aldi half the time and before you know it, items arrive that you have forgotten about! That’s what happened with the Willful Smart Watch.

Watches are not something I wear, you can ask my mister and he will tell you about the watches I have but never remember to wear or never got a new battery for! But, since this one arrived I haven’t taken it off my wrist unless I am bathing or washing up.

It comes available in the shades black, green, grey, pink, purple and blue, the best part... replacement straps cost just £7.99 and the watch is less than £40 here*! But what is it’s point? Well it is a smart watch, not an Apple Watch by any means, it doesn’t come close, but it’s pretty blooming good. Plus there an app called VeryFitPro which works with iOs and android phones, so you can set up what you want the watch to tell you, which alerts you want and it reminds you to charge it when the battery is getting low too.

This watch has a lot of features starting with its 1.3 inch TFT-LCD clear display, full touch screen. Once charged, it keeps its charge for 7 days before the need to recharge it - amazing when you think it is active 24 hours a day 7 days a week. But then we have all this:

All Day Activity Health Data

This watch records daily data such as steps walked, distance covered and calorie burned from that. It also records your sleep quality whether it is a deep sleep or a light sleep, how long you have been asleep and how long during the night you are awake.  Add to that it also has 9 exercise modes which provide reference data for your daily health analysis and improvement.

My watch is set to encourage me to walk 10,000 steps a day and when I achieve that goal it vibrates on my wrist with a little graphic to let me know this has been achieved.  On the app it tells you how many steps over a week, month or year with a graph, so again you can track your activity.

Real Time Heart Rate Monitoring

Again, this watch will automatically recognise the heart rate which it does by using advanced sensor technology. With mine I can see my resting heart rate and find it quite soothing to watch the red heart as it flickers. You can also see your average heart rate and maximum heart rate too.  

When used with the app, you can track your daily, weekly or even monthly changes.

Stay Connected to Your Day

As well as the fitness tracking abilities, this watch also helps you to be connected to your phone but without needing to be on your phone all the time. It connects to your phones bluetooth, so if your phone is off or out of signal, it doesnt work.  But when it does, the watch will vibrate to alert to you phone calls, SMS messages, Whatsapp messages and even Facebook Messenger as well as Skype, Instagram and Twitter - all of these depending on which settings you choose. 

It's Waterproof

You can use it when you are washing hands, sweating or when it is raining. It is not suitable for hot water, saunas or environments with large variation of temperature

One its best features is that you don't need to touch or tap it to see the watch screen, a simple lift up of your wrist will light up the screen so you can see the date, time and any messages which have come through and how much battery life you have left.

I think it is fair to say that I am really, really impressed with this watch. I was never quite sure a smartwatch was for me, thinking it would be too much hassle or add further stress to my life, but it doesn’t. Infact I’m not even sure how I have managed without it, because I now don’t need to be glued to my phone waiting for messages - it alerts me to them and I can read them on my screen and see who they are from, it lets me know if my phone is ringing and naturally it tells the time - something I had become too reliant on my iPhone for.

Is there a catch? Actually for me absolutely not. For £36.99 via Amazon* what you get is an amazing watch that does what I want it to do and I absolutely love it.

#MyAbelini - Abelini Jewellery

I have always been of the view that like a fragrance, Jewellery is also a personal choice and with it come a whole range of emotions.  On a day to day basis, my jewellery wear is at its absolute minimum with just my wedding and engagement rings being worn and sometimes earrings if I remember, other than that, nothing else. 

When Abelini Jewellery got in contact to ask if I would like to work with them I jumped at the chance, they pride themselves on being proud and able to offer so many incredibly beautiful pieces of jewellery and as well as being based in Hatton Garden, the well known Beauty Street of London, the jewellery in question is made here in the UK by in-house skilled craftsmen and perhaps as important Abelini invest great care in ensuring that they use only ethically sourced materials when they craft their jewellery.

I was lucky enough to choose a piece of jewellery to try from an incredible selection of pieces and honestly it was one of the hardest selections I have ever had to make, but I did eventually make it.  I set my sights on the 4 prong Set round Diamond Halo Ring with side stones and you will find it within the engagement ring section online.  Like any ring, checking your ring size is incredibly important and Abelini offer to send to you, free of a charge a ring sizer so that you can check, or if you have access to a printer, then you can print off a ring sizer and check it too.  I printed off a ring sizer and found my correct size and duly made my selection and sent it over to Abelini.  Surprisingly within a week, my chosen ring had arrived and it was nestled inside a box which had the look of being quite antique. Pure black in colour, inside the box, was my chosen ring and honestly, it was quite a wow moment as it glistened in all its natural glory.

The Abelini Prong Setting Round Diamond Halo Engagement Ring is available in a range of options including Yellow Gold, White Gold or Platinum and it sizes from H to S and this includes half sizes. Added to these options you can also choose the size of the carat, the clarity and the colour grade, all of which are not options you ordinarily find in some of the high street jewellers.

Whenever I think of engagement rings and long before I was engaged, my one worry was how a biggish stone would look on my small hands and it was definitely not something I should have worried about because this ring looks and feels just amazing on my finger and as you can see below, it looks so beautiful in the natural light.

What I absolutely love about this ring is how it sits, it is incredibly lightweight so you don't know it is there and it definitely does attract attention from other people, but the glittering halo of round brilliant diamonds really make this ring for me and not only do they accentuate the centre diamond, as do the smaller diamonds which sit on the band of the ring either side.

There is a choice of over 600 engagement rings to choose from with Abelini, so whatever your style, budget or material, there is something for absolutely everyone and right now there is the most incredible sale, so finding that perfect ring might just the right timing!

I would love to know what you think to this ring and whether there is anything from Abelini which captures your attention!

Hersey & Son London Silversmith Zodiac Necklace

There are a lot of things I love about jewellery and if you give me the chance to create something, I am absolutely in my element. 

M. C. Hersey & Son Ltd is a Silversmiths workshop based in London manufacturing sterling silver tableware as well as jewellery and silver gifts. The founder of the company, Michael Hersey, established the business in 1971 having served 16 years as a silver spinner in Soho and Clerkenwell, starting as an apprentice at William Comyn's workshop in 1955. His son, Stewart, joined him in 1981 after training as a silversmith at The Sir John Cass School of Art, now part of London Guildhall University and at Grant Macdonald's workshop in Southwark.

When Hersey & Son Ltd got in contact to ask if I would like to create my own personalised necklace I jumped at the chance, anything that is personalised to me is always a winning and the combination of including my Zodiac sign makes it all the more special.  As I am a July baby, my starsign is Cancerian and if you are very much into reading your horoscopes and finding out what you are like, your personality traits and so on, I am very much the typical Cancerian.  

Cancer, the crab symbol, is the Zodiac for people born between 21 June - 22 July. The nurturers of the Zodiac, Cancer's are tenaciously loyal and loving, nurturing and protective.

For my necklace I chose the Cancerian starsign which is the crab and with it the initial R for my first name followed by a ruby gemstone.

My necklace came beautifully wrapped in a monogrammed box, with an accompanying cleaning cloth, something a lot of jewellery brands should take note of, because they are important and handy things to have.

Wear your Zodiac, Initial and Birthstone, or those of your loved ones; choose your favourite colour gemstone and match with an engraved locket; pick a moon or star pendant and pair it with the initials of your children and Zodiac of your husband. Sitting elegantly alongside each other, these pendants have been designed to fit together in a myriad of ways, so you can create your own story. A covetable gift that will be treasured for years to come.

This necklace is described as being designed in London and hand cast in Birmingham, these tactile sterling silver Zodiac pendants have a beaded edge and a Zodiac symbol intricately carved in relief. The back of the pendant is flat and suitable for engraving up to 25 characters, making these silver pendants a perfect gift.  The route to designing your perfect Zodiac pendant is incredibly easy with a guide to help through each step - choosing your chain length and then working through choosing your zodiac sign, whether or not you would like a birthstone and the charm being engraved and finally the choice of adding an initial to really make it personal.

The whole necklace from the chain to the charm and even the initial is just stunning, it sits nice and flat against my chest, it isn't too too short, it is very shiny, the crab is almost 3D and when the necklace is worn, it stands on from the disc, the R initial isn't too big that it dominates the jewellery piece and I love the Ruby gemstone, something I don't have much of.

If you are looking for a gift this Christmas and want to add a personal touch, then I cannot recommend Hersey & Son London Silversmiths enough, whether the gift is for a child, a loved one, a friend or even a little gift for yourself, it is worth absolutely every penny.  

Do you have any jewellery with your starsign featured on it?

Jana Reinhardt Jewellery - Penguin Necklace + Giveaway

One of my favourite parts to visit London Zoo is Penguin Beach.  To stand and watch the penguins go about their business, watch those of us who are enamoured with them and pose cheekily for photos like absolute pros to the delight of visitors.  Jana Reinhardt jewellery which is simply stunning and very much unique has managed to capture the characteristics of the Penguin so incredibly well, I just love this necklace and I hope you will too.

They understand the concept of teamwork and utilise it regularly to get what they want.

All of the above are characterised within this Penguin Necklace, everything from the flippers to his tiny beak and even his eyes which grab your attention.  For me, I love that this necklace has been handcrafted here in the UK and as well as being available in 925 Sterling Silver, it is also available in 9ct or 16ct solid gold and platinum or 22ct yellow gold vermeil, as well as 18ct, rose gold vermeil.  The Penguin himself is measured at 15mm high and 11mm wide and it most certainly stands out when it sits on the accompanying necklace chain which is not only hand polished to a high shine but the chain is also adjustable, so there is the ability to change how high or low the Penguin sits.

Nude Jewellery - Rose Quartz Gemstone Vanilla Link Pendant

I love buying pieces of jewellery as gifts, whether it is a charm for a bracelet, some earrings or even something more lavish like a watch that the mister has had his eye on. I love to receive jewellery as a gift because I think it is one of those items that someone has to have put some thought into purchasing for you, there must be a reason it caught their eye and made them think of you. New to my collection is this stunning Rose Quartz Vanilla Link Pendant from Nude Jewellery and it is just absolutely stunning, I haven't taken it off since it arrived.

If you have never come across them before, Nude Jewellery is a UK based jewellers who handmake all of their pieces, something they are incredibly and should rightly be, proud of.  They launched in 2001 and the main aim of Nude Jewellery was to provide its customers with nothing but the best in independent design jewellery and to do that, the collections are designed by award-winning jewellery designer Nikki Galloway and her in-house jewellers, and many of the Nude Jewellery pieces are only available on their website and not anywhere else.  What I love about the website is that everything is so clearly laid out and there is just so much to see, as well as having the option to create your own bespoke design, which I really like the idea of.

I was very kindly sent the Nude Jewellery Rose Quartz Gemstone Vanilla Link Pendant (£95) and it is just absolutely stunning, definitely a wow moment when I opened the box that is for sure. 

The Nude Jewellery Rose Quartz Gemstone Vanilla Link Pendant is a delicate handmade, hand textured hammered link hanging from a sleek silver snake chain embellished with a beautiful rough cut pale pink rose quartz gemstone which is roughly 25mm in length. The necklace chain is available in three different chain lengths; 16″, 18″ and 20" and my necklace sits on an 18" chain and is just the perfect length for how I like my necklaces to sit and it has a clasp closure which is easy to open and close.

I have put the Rose Quartz gemstone against the red berries of my Christmas decoration so that you can see just how beautifully pink the Rose Quartz gemstone is and I love that it is such a delicate colour.  I love reading about gemstones and it seems Rose Quartz is no ordinary gemstone if you believe or are interested in the healing powers of crystals, then you might be aware that the Rose Quartz is often referred to as 'The Love Stone' and this is because it sends off strong vibrations of love, happiness, warmth, and emotional health. It is also said to help with lowering stress and tension in the heart and that Rose Quartz clears out anger, jealousy, and resentment of others, and allows the healing of heart issues, to name just a few of the healing powers.

I absolutely love this pendant, it is just so beautiful and one I will get a lot of wear out of. It is the type of pendant that can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. You can check out the rest of the unique Nude Jewellery designs here and I would love to know if anything catches your attention!

Bradbury’s The Jewellers

When it comes to buying Jewellery for someone, be it a loved one, a friend, a work colleague or even for yourself, for me, there are elements of that experience which matter and that is whether you are buying someone online or in person in a shop.  Bradbury's The Jewellers can be found in the West Yorkshire town of Halifax, it is an independent family run business who take pride in everything they do and that includes bringing traditional values in customer service, honesty and value.  The store is home to some of the most premier brands that you will have come across - Links of London, Michael Kors, Thomas Sabo, Folie Folie and many more.  

I was kindly gifted a beautiful Coeur De Lion Peach Crystal Bangle and the wow factor began as soon as I had opened the outer packaging.  As I said, there are elements of that shopping experience which matter and Bradbury's have all of that -  the eye for detail, the thought process and the love and care that goes into ensuring a gift looks as good on the outside as it does on the inside.  Beautifully wrapped in rose gold paper with an accompanying ribbon, neatly bowed, there was no giveaway as to what was inside, there was no view of any cellotape or other fastenings and someone had clearly taken the time and effort to ensure everything was just right.

Coeur De Lion jewellery is handmade in Germany and it is a brand I know a little about through a relative of mine who adores the Geocube design on some of the jewellery pieces. Behind the brand, which has just celebrated 30 years in the business, we have Carola Eckrodt and it is her love of materials that must be versatile, hard wearing and enduring which brings to life a whole host of beautiful statement pieces of jewellery, all of which is made by hand.

Putting together both Coeur de Lion and Bradbury's the Jewellers, you have two brands that complement and match each with the love for what they do, the love that goes into the process of ensuring the end result is perfect and one to whom the little details matter.

The Coeur de Lion Peach Crystal Pave Stone Set Bangle is made of stainless steel with crystals in a pavé setting and an integrated click closure.  opening the box, you find the bangle sitting on a pure white silk cushion. This modern bangle has a highly polished finish and is enhanced by two glistening rows of peach coloured crystals which add a glamorous sparkle.

I am a big fan of shopping online, the ease of everything being in front of me, the lack of queuing and no tripping over baskets winning me over. That said, a website has to be easy to navigate around and thankfully the website for Bradbury's Jewellery is incredibly crisp and clean. There aren't a billion pop-ups to interfere with browsing, there is also the ability to look closely at individual pieces of jewellery is amazing, the detail is there to see, the images are clean and of high resolution, this is down below with the photograph of the bracelet I have.

Every page loads quickly, the important points are visible - price, what the item is, when it will be dispatched and whether or not you would like gift wrapping.  I have spent quite some time looking around the website whilst writing this review and might have already put one or two things in my shopping basket!  If you are looking for jewellery gifts, then I would recommend having at a look at what Bradbury's have to offer, there are so many beautiful items.

Christmas with Buckley London

Giving Jewellery as a gift is quite special, especially at Christmas and I do love to gift some statement pieces if I see something I really like.  Buckley London is a Costume Jewellery Brand which was established back in 1989. Every Buckley London piece is designed in the UK by an in-house team of designers, creating unique twists on the latest fashion trends, whilst remaining true to the brand’s British heritage and trademark quality.

The first item is this beautifully themed Ladies Christmas Cracker which is made from white sturdy cardboard which features a Reindeer and Christmas Tree theme in gold detail. Fastened either end with a black ribbon and gift tag.

Inside the cracker is a silver-toned mesh bracelet featuring a delicate heart charm set with over 20 shimmering crystals. I have a few of these bracelets and I love that they are stretchy so they would fit any size wrist.  It comes wrapped in a silver organza bag as a nice little extra.

The second product is the Christmas Bauble Sparkle Pendant and I absolutely love this for a gift idea. Arriving in a box so you could wrap it up as a gift, or you could remove it from the box and hang it on the tree, which I really like the idea of doing.

Inside the Bauble is a really beautiful pendant and it features a brilliant-cut Cubic Zirconia stone which is suspended from silver tone chain. I really love the simplicity of this necklace and it is one which will suit absolutely anyone of any age as it is an absolute classic. It also comes wrapped inside a silver organza bag.

Thomas Sabo Jewellery - Sterling Silver Collection

On a day to day basis, I tend to wear minimal jewellery, often just my wedding and engagement rings and maybe a pair of earrings, I am not someone who likes to be covered in bling. One brand I do absolutely love is Thomas Sabo, a brand who I feel best represents my personality and whom I go to when I buying presents and gifts for family and friends. The Thomas Sabo Slogan being - Unconventional, Contemporary and Vintage

A few months back I reviewed the Cancerian Charm Necklace (here) which I have had so many comments on because it is just stunning. Today I am back with more Thomas Sabo Jewellery from their Rebel At Heart Collection which I was kindly gifted.

Whenever you go into Thomas Sabo, or look online, there is aways something to The Rebel At Heart Collection which is described as being Extravagant and Expressive and for the Rock 'n' Roll Soul. The Sterling Silver Collection, which is where ive selected pieces from and it is a collection that is all about variety. There are different ranges for both men and women and it is a collection which caters for all styles and tastes. Whether you want engravable pieces and stunning earring, statement skull rings and mystical Karma Beads, there is something for everyone and every taste! The one difficulty is choosing my favourite items and it did take several days agonising what I liked the look of the most, but eventually, I settled on the following:

The first item I chose comes from the Silver Bracelet selection with the Black Classic Pave Bracelet (£98) and again, it is just stunning. I have quite small wrists, so usually end up having bracelets re-sized to fit, but this one is an adjustable bracelet, featuring a lobster clasp and it didn't need any altering at all.

Along the chain, there is three circle Thomas Sabo discs and within each one is 7 sparkling stones, which are black in colour and again work really well against the silver discs, all of which have the words Thomas Sabo inscribed onto them. Again, this bracelet can be worn for both a casual everyday event or it can be dressed up for a more formal occasion.  I have worn it on both occasions and it always gets comments.

The second item I chose from the Earrings for women section is these Royalty Black Ear Stud (£49). I have really small ears, so I always opt for earrings which don't emphasise how small they are, so no large hoops or anything that dangles too low. 

What stood out to me when choosing these earrings is the design, unlike anything else I own and quite striking in design, the description reads as follows: 

The cross motif of these ear studs impresses with vintage charm, which really comes into its own thanks to the artistically worked engravings, stone embellishment and blackened Sterling silver. 

The cross motif with the black stone embellishments work really well with the bracelet featured above and when worn together make quite the pair. Sitting on 925 Sterling Silver with push back clasps they feature handcrafted precision details and because they are quite dainty, the black stones make them stand out.  If my jewellery doesn't feature skulls then somewhere there is usually always a cross and these fit in perfectly with my style and personality.

The final item I chose is in keeping with the other two items and it is this Silver Necklace called the Sterling Silver Glam & Soul Royalty Star Necklace (£119) which is just stunning to look at.  The Glam & Soul Range is described as being a collection which is made up of versatile women’s jewellery and watches perfect for all styles and occasions and it includes a wide range of necklaces, bracelets, rings, earrings. So whether you want simple yet stylish or something a little more of a statement, then this is the collection for you.  

I chose this necklace because I love the simplicity of the chain, but the statement made by the Star, as soon as I saw it on the screen, it jumped out at me.

This necklace has been preciously handcrafted and the star pendant, which is a glittering cubic zirconia embellishment, is fitted onto a length-adjustable chain with a lobster clasp as well as white charm carrier, so at any point in time, you can swap and change your pendant. This necklace also comes with the description: 

"The magic of the jewellery item is created by the combination of vintage design language and sparkling stone embellishment".

Sitting on a chain which is around 45cm in length, hangs below the neckline and sits flat against the chest and what I really love is how easy this is to wear for a formal or casual occasion, it is totally flattering and shines prettily in daylight.

Keeping the presentation of the jewellery stunning, all Thomas Sabo products are perfectly presented in Thomas Sabo packaging with a gift bag and box. 

Thomas Sabo guarantees the entire range of branded products with a full warranty, covering manufacturing and material defaults for a period of up to two years from the date of purchase.

I would love to know if you have ever purchased anything from Thomas Sabo, or whether anything from their new releases has caught your attention.
