Jeweller that's the last word in finishing touches

A CLASSIC WATCH

And the best jewellery pieces are the ones you barely think about because they work with everything.

“That masculine pinky ring, the piece you feel genuinely naked without,” says personal stylist Deborah Sheridan-Taylor. “These are your foundations and once you have them, everything else you add becomes intentionally more considered.”

A FINE CHAIN NECKLACE

“A chain with an initial pendant, a friendship necklace, jewellery that sits on your body in a way that if it weren’t there you'd feel the absence immediately - that's a staple,” says Deborah, who is also a firm believer in layering. “The power of three varying chain necklaces, like a herringbone, a paperclip or box chain, all worn together instantly adds individuality and charm.”
